good to get rid of glass and plastic bottles but, if the city would hire people to sort ALL plastic then people would bring allot more there and landfills wouldn’t get it all, In a perfect world yes people should sort it all themselves but allot of people are busy making a living, maybe the city will make progress and make it easier to recycle, but yes what few things you can bring make a difference, just allot of plastic bags and other stuff will end up in landfills

There's an employee with dreadlocks who sits in his car and yells at you if you don't pre-crush cardboard boxes down before putting them into... the giant machine that crushes the boxes down with a pneumatic smasher. If the box fills up, he has to come out of his warm SUV and press the button to crush boxes. That's a lot of work compared to sitting in your car and yelling from your rolled down window. I really ruined his day by not completely breaking down the boxes before tossing them in the crusher. He had to get out of his car, get in my face, and prove he was a big man by throwing some of the boxes I put in the smasher back into my car. All while yelling and threatening me. It was pretty wild considering the wind was blowing the boxes everywhere and I was just trying to do recycling before it blew everywhere. Completely unacceptable behavior.

This is our regular recycling center, and we've been treated very poorly by one of the employees. Every time we are there she comes literally running out of the building to yell at us for.... recycling? Our car (next to other parked cars) is in the wrong place. We aren't allowed to put trash in the trash dumpster. Etc, etc. The harassment from this woman literally prevents us from recycling, as she is so abrasive and rude. We are rule followers who work hard to recycle correctly, and she treats us so poorly. Don't come here unless you want to get yelled at!
