DAO

This is a sweet recycling facility located right by my office. They take almost everything. They’ve recently started charging I believe $ 5 for tv’s and mattresses, but that’s still not bad at all. They also sell used appliances.

As the recycling freak for my office and at home, I find I have lots of odd things I need to recycle. DAO is the place that takes almost anything. Almost. They don’t take furniture or stuff like that, but they do take electronics, batteries, paints, styrofoam, and a lot of the other odd ball things that most recycling places don’t. Of course they also take the basics like plastic (1 – 7), glass, cardboard, etc.
My office recently moved buildings and we had a lot of IT waste. It was enough to fill a box truck, a box truck which DAO sent out for free to pick up everything.
Every staff member I have worked with is nice, polite, and very helpful. They will help you unload everything from your car. The drop-​off area is just past the little blue building, through a gate. You will see parked semi-​trailers on your right and a garage bay. There will be bins outside of that, but if there aren’t, feel free to leave your recyclables in a pile next to the garage bay.
The parking lot is a bit bumpy, so don’t be a speed demon.
