I live in Slater with my with my family Erica (Wife) Greta (daughter, 4 yo), Brink (son, 2yo), new baby Bobby. I enjoy cooking and gardening.
I will never go to Hy-Vee's disgusting bottle rooms again.
Ames Bottle and Can are hands down the best place I have ever used for can and bottle recycling. The staff was very friendly and facilities were very clean. I chose to have them count my bottles for me and get paid via venmo. I was there for less than 5 min!
