We are a business that counts on getting our recycled items picked up unfortunately by the only company that provides this service.. On numerous occasions the driver reports that our dumpster was Not out on the street for pickup. I personally set out the dumpster the night before and Now I have to take pictures of the address and dumpster on the day it put out to show its out there.we pay for a service that we continually have to call for a missed pickup.

I just needed to schedule a bulky item pick up. The app didn’t provide the options I needed, also garbage, pun intended. I had to wait on hold for over an hour. It seems like a no brainier that they need the call back service for extended hold times. Peoples time is too precious to wait in hold for such a long time for something that has been paid for. No wonder people just dump items on random streets.

For Construction debris good prices. It could be better but they know the best. $40 per cubic yard (May 2018).
They will accept it but as far as I know you will have to pay. They will not pay you for it.

What should I do with plastic bottles that held epoxy resin? I don't want to dump anything down the drain, and I can't really clean them out. Are they okay to recycle with the residue? Or must I just put them into the trash?

John Apodaca | Aug 18, 2022
Not ok to recycle! Put into trash after epoxy has dried.

how to recycle binders?
sharon macauley | May 24, 2022
Nathan Majeski | Jun 23, 2022
It depends what they are made of, they have bins for paper, cardboard, metals, some plastics and glass. Hope that helps. Recycling is free too!
They do but if it has any type of finish on it like paint, stain/varnish it unfortunately goes in the landfill. Clean wood can be composted and ground up into mulch.
There is electrical recycling at the Recology facility, when you pull in the driveway drive straight ahead and you'll get to a person who charges you a small fee to recycle your item.
Does Recology take light bulbs? Put in bag on top of garbage as with batteries?
John Anning | Dec 25, 2021
John Apodaca | Dec 25, 2021
No...do not put on top like batteries!

There is a area when you first pull into the driveway where you take your cardboard car batteries motor oil and such. You can ask if they take them there.
They take just about everything. If its something toxic like batteries or paint theyll put it in a designated area and dispose of it properly.. so theyll definitely take microwave
