Other notes
- Operator lists tin/aluminum cans, jugs, bottles and glass among customer drop-off materials. It operates multi-stream recycling: separate materials rather than assuming a single mixed bin.
- Public access to the aluminum buyback does not grant public access to customer-only household recycling. Call to establish eligibility before bringing mixed household materials.
- The operator also describes radiators, brass, copper and other buyback items, but no current price sheet is provided. No earnings estimate or payout is promised.
- Yard-waste hauling, garbage pickup and dumpster rentals are separate services. The page does not establish self-haul garbage, HHW, appliance or tire acceptance at this recycling address. Main-office phone is 217-522-9317; center phone above is 217-522-9271.
