Questions & Answers

Is this "single stream" recycling or do the items need to be separated? I mean the cans together, the glass together, the plastic together, etc.

Yvette Howey | Oct 18, 2018
Joshua Wood | Oct 18, 2018

Everything needs to be separated. But that can be done at the facility. There are always volunteers who can help you do that.

do you take used twin mattresses? I have 2

Wanda James | Oct 18, 2018
Amy Featherby | Oct 18, 2018

No, bedding. Unfortunately, since the bed bug epidemic. I don't think anyone takes mattresses. I finally had to send mine to the dump. It was so sad. Other than try to sell them for cheap price. (Other option)

Do you buy appliances ? Stoves,washers,dryers refrigerators.

This place does in fact take appliances, they only "run off" volunteers that are not productive or have been reported by people who come in. They do not tolerate any type of disrespect toward outside people, and they expect all volunteers to stay busy while they are there. The man who runs the place is very active all day, and honestly does not need help but he allows people to volunteer anyways. Appliances are recycled around the back of the building, the side which has the library. There is a very large metal dumpster there. You can set the appliances on the side, but it is preferred to be inside the dumpster if it is possible for you to do

Naliana Klautson | Jun 19, 2022
Kamal Ibrahim | Jun 19, 2022

They don't offer pickup unfortunately. As a city we still have to pay extra for our trash company to handle recycling. Which is kind of disappointing.

Joe Sprague | Oct 17, 2021
Harry Moore | Oct 17, 2021

Yes they do I worked there for almost a year the only things they don't take is wood, styrofoam and plastic bags with fiberglass mesh in it if it stretches they take it no and most of recyclables have 2 numbers inside a triangle so maybe sure you look carefully and they have a free table you can donate things they don't recycle and there is a steel container in back to put bigger stuff.

Amy Featherby | Oct 17, 2020

Hmm. Im not sure about that. I dont think they do. But the Sedwick county has a building that you can take Hazmat Materials and containers to. Not too far from that locatiin just west of Seneca and South of Harry.

Is plastic actually recycling? Is there any safe way to break down plastic?

Tommy Maroney | Oct 17, 2020
Santhosh Reddy | Oct 17, 2020

I don't know if you are referring to the place or plastic in general. Pro Kansas recycling does accept all types of plastics as long as they have grades 1,2,5 engraved/written on them. Plastic, in general, can only be recycled once, but once the plastic is recycled, it will never be used for food. Also, the best practice is to reduce plastic usage and opt for paper/glass/metal containers which are indefinitely recyclable and has less impact compared to plastic

Do they take styrofoam and other type 6 recycling? If not, where can I recycle Styrofoam and type 6 in town?

Cordell Clark | Oct 17, 2020
Owl vision | Oct 17, 2020

No, they do not. All you can do with Styrofoam is break it up & use it for packing materiel... That or break it up small enough to throw in the trash. Of course if you have a drum of old & unusable gas, you can always put the Styrofoam in it & watch it melt into nothing.

How much for cans

Camilla Veatch | Oct 18, 2019
Marcia Shepler | Oct 18, 2019

Take shredded paper to the Kansas Humane Society on North Hillside. They use it for bedding. Best if the paper is bagged and the top is sealed or tied off.
