Super easy and friendly service. Park, drop off your e-waste on the scale, get a receipt and then get paid. The entire process took me 5 minutes.

Great overall experience. Friendly, helpful & professional staff. Definitely exceeded my expectations and far better service than competitors. I pre-weighed my material and it matched with their weight and market valuation.
