I drove 15 miles so I could recycle my old 27" tube TV, always trying to do the right thing for the environment. I pulled up to the booth, showed my ID to prove that I'm a county resident, and asked where to recycle TVs. The attendant said that section was closed and I should just throw the TV into the trash dumpster. There were three cars behind me so I had no time to question the guy. I dumped my TV in the dumpster, disgruntled about this ridiculous turn of events. As I was passing the booth on the way out I stopped and asked the attendant why the electronics recycling station would be closed on a Monday. He said it's not the day, they just ran out of boxes. I called the office when I got home and was told the attendant should have asked me to just leave the TV at the recycling station, box or no box. She said she'd look into this "mix-up." In general, I love the whole idea of my county having this kind service. I hate paying taxes as much as the next guy but I love to see them put to good use... except for this one day.

Alpha Ridge Landfill is an exceptionally well-organized, advanced, and efficient program of coping with the variety of trash and recyclables we need to manage and/or dispose of in today's world. Yesterday was my first visit, and I'm impressed! It's a see-it-to-believe-it place, and I know they have a drone tour of the landfill on their website -- well worth a look! But if you need to visit in person, seeing is believing. Seriously.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

When can we dump paint/paint cans?

Anne Johnson | Oct 13, 2019
Wayne Homens | Oct 13, 2019

Home Depot and Lowes sell a paint additive that causes it to solidify so you can trash it instead of driving to the landfill. If you have sawdust or other absorbent material you could probably do the same thing.
