Ponce Recycling Center

Rude people . They’ll let their customers stand under the sun for 20 minutes while they are inside taking care of their paperwork . They talk loud at their customers and always try to give out as much Pennies as possible . Be aware of the tall guy who runs the place .

It’s fast, they will help if don’t have other customers and will give u tips of how to sort materials but I feel like I don’t get all that’s owed when I go. I wouldn’t want to say dishonest but according to the figures it doesn’t add up

My first time at a recycling center. Primary language spoken here is Spanish, but they knew enough English to get the job done. Lines moved quickly. I had 1 not full barrel of Aluminum cans, 1 full barrel of plastic Water Bottles, 1 Half full barrel of juice containers and 12 full barrels of plastic soda bottles. They counted all of the plastic as #1PET at 46 pounds for $62.31. In comparison, a woman in front of me, had three barrels of only plastic water bottles and she received $12 plus some change. The four men working didn't talk a lot. None of them volunteered information when I told them it was my first time. I had to ask them, "Do I need to sort these into different barrels". Would have been helpful if they had a sign saying to sort everything differently by type. One rude woman who cut in front of me, they made resort her items because she mixed cans, wine bottles and plastic bottles together. Parking was available behind the recycling area, where there were barrels available to be used for sorting. They wouldn't take my larger multi-gallon sized plastic water bottle, the kind used at an office water cooler. They have a sign on the wall that said something about them being able to reduce the amount they payout. I didn't read it in detail. Probably should have. I was just happy to get rid of 5 years worth of collecting plastic soda and water bottles. I met 3 really nice women there, one indifferent woman, and one seriously rude woman who cut in front of me and told me to "Chill Out" when I asked her if she could please move a little to the side. She had walked up and stood in front of the back area where I was placing my 14 barrels out of everyone's way. I let everyone who came up while I was there, go in front of me, and assisted an older woman who was also there for the first time. Ironically, the rude woman, who was the last person I was letting go in front of me, actually turned and snarled, "It's my turn next!", when I began moving a couple of barrels from the back, closer to the front. Despite my letting her and the other four people who came up while I was in line go in front of me, I Ignored her comment. People who are that inconsiderate of other peoples kindness, have deep troubles inside and hate. Difficult to know if she was rude because of my ethnicity or if she were just a bitter person. Over all, it was a good experience.
