The recycling truck didn't pick up my recyclables today. Called the office to ask why. The female receptionist was less than helpful with a defensive attitude. Assuming the reason was there was a small build up of snow on the bins, though I'll never be certain. This is January and it does snow so if that's the reason, we are all doomed by incompetence and unprofessionalism. The woman took my number, stated she would ask the driver, and get back to me. Never called me back. Which is just as upsetting as the initial complaint. Also, they used to call with a recorded message when there was a holiday delay in pick up, but they don't even do that anymore. I guess I can just dump my recyclables in the trash. Thanks Tompkins County.

Mattresses are classified as trash and are accepted there. I saw a few in the trash pile just yesterday. If you are ever curious about any item their website has a helpful search tool to find out how to dispose of that particular item. See the 'What do I do with?' section in the middle of the page.' https://recycletompkins.org/
