“Every dollar that we get for some of these recyclable materials, we are able to give to the nonprofit or any surrounding nonprofit that wants to work with us, to help funding and get things rolling,” said Kelly.

They are open Tuesdays from 9 a.m. until 6:30 p.m., as well as Wednesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.

They are also accepting donations for lightly used building materials, furniture, some electronic devices.
