One-time visitors who would like to recycle our general items (plastics, metal, textiles, Terracycle) will pay a $15 fee. This can be bought online prior to your visit or in-person while you are at the Hub.

Customers do not need a membership to drop off reusable items. These items will be donated to local nonprofits or sold in our 4th floor Hub Shop to help support our community programs such as Tinker Team, Pantry Partnership, and G.R.E.E.N. events. Simply go to our Customer Service desk in the rear of the Hub Club to drop off these items with a Hub staff member or volunteer.

Hub Club members can drop off General Recycling materials including rigid plastics, soft plastics, metals, certain textiles, Terracycle items, and styrofoam as part of their plan. Universal Waste items such as batteries, lightbulbs, some electronics, refrigerators, and other items will incur a handling fee due to their potentially hazardous components. Reuse items can be dropped off for free.

No, the Hub Shop is absolutely free to all visitors. Simply head to the right when you enter the Hub Club and take the elevator up to the 4th floor.
