Story Mini Store is a local recycling center that accepts cans, bottles and glass. Customers use a QR code to scan and follow instructions on how to recycle efficiently. The center is busy but staff move pretty quickly, giving cash right away. A wash station and hand sanitizer are available, and a big parking lot makes it easy to find a spot. Some bins need deep cleaning, but most visitors are satisfied with the quick service. Customers appreciate the quick cash and the wash station with hand sanitizer, making the experience a win win for the environment. The process is simple: bring rolling plastic totes, unload your items, roll the totes to the line, and let workers weigh the plastic on the left and aluminum cans on the right. A paper receipt with the weight and type is printed. After turning in the receipt, the cashier prints and signs it, and cash is paid. The entire process can take about 15 minutes for a solo customer. Staff are generally courteous and helpful. The express lane and drop‑and‑go option make recycling with a little one easier and safer. Service is great, and many people return to get back into the recycling groove and get rid of recyclables that have been piling up. Some customers note that the center is close to home and is a good option when nearby centers closed during the pandemic.
I've been coming here with my brother for years and it just gets the job done. They are quick and give you the cash right away. The bins can use some deep cleaning, but I do like coming here because of their big parking lot.

First time going and it went smooth, I only had two bags. You have to put ur cans/bottles in their preferred buckets and they ask you to take ur bags home and throw them away which is really cool. I went around 2pm and there were people there but it went by fast. I got ten dollars :)
