The staff was RUDE and the facility is a mess. There is stuff blowing all over the "facility" and their guidelines are quite restrictive. I have since found another center that has a fantastic staff and takes a broad range of materials. I will never use this facility again. The staff was RUDE and the facility is a mess.

They also told me over the phone that they won't accept ALL Nos. 1 and 2 recyclables -- only those that were drink and detergent/soap containers. No food containers. What they accept for cardboard is very narrow -- pretty much corrugated cardboard and not much else. The woman on the phone also told me that anything that they won't recycle just winds up in the landfill after the bins are sorted. So...you may be thinking that everything you've brought there will be recycled, but it won't be. According to CBC, they won’t be accepting any glass as of September 1.
