Rebecca Mistari

Rebecca Mistari (1/5 stars, 2 years ago): Weird. My previous bad review vanished. I had complained that this center was all barricaded -- with no notices explaining that there was no other way in nor when the center would open again nor where the other recycling center is -- All because the City of Denton decided to pave for a new tennis court. They have opened it back up and the beautiful concrete ends right before the recycling bins. Today I went to recycle and I had to choose which axle breaking pothole to drive through at the place where the concrete ends -- because the whole way across the road is really deep potholes. Typical of City of Denton roads. Reeks to high heaven of political corruption.

General Public

General Public (1/5 stars, 4 years ago): Despite the signboards clearly stating that glass can be recycled at this location there is no receptacle to take it? We have no kerbside recycling where we live which is bad enough and having to use a gallon of fuel to get to a recycling center is equally bad! I am not going to use yet another gallon of fuel to get to another recycling center which may or may not take glass.This is 2020 and it is about time Denton County set an example and got its recycling act together.

KingDom Come

KingDom Come (1/5 stars, a year ago): Just moved here. First cycle of trash. Guy pulled up set the tag out and drove off even after he saw me come out to the curb for questions. Sad how rude you guys are. Unfortunately we all know there's not much we can do but accept the abuse of authority dealing with you. Sad indeed.
