Due to the extreme cold weather forecasted for Monday and Tuesday, we will be running minimal equipment. Just like your car, our equipment dislikes the extreme cold! If you are planning to come into the yard to recycle materials on those days, please know we may not be able to unload trailers as we normally do.
