Stop buying plastic period. No pop in plastic bottles. Eventually they will bring back glass bottles. Styrofoam is full of chemicals and just burn your papers and cardboard boxes. Paper and cardboard comes from wood. Wood is OK for the environment. I'm stuck here with 4 rotten old tires and I wanna know where these go? Someone chime in please and thanks.

To be fair this is not a review of the recycling center's location but the city employee who responded to my questions when I called their help line. Ultimately she answered all of my questions and when she found out I was trying to deposit cardboard boxes she recommended to go to the goodwill near the Lowes. I was going to Lowes that day as well so this was all good news to me. Upon arrival at the goodwill the employee came out ready to go took all of our cardboard in a bin with little effort required. Thanks to the city employee who helped me I was able to efficiently spend my day in one area and remove my excessive cardboard. Thank you once again for your help!

I always check the website and call the recycling center number to make sure they are open. I found more time then not the site is reported to be open with no known problems. Only to arrive and the gates are closed or the machines are jammed. The website also states that the Adrian Goodwill will take boxes. Upon arrival at Goodwill there were no bins for cardboard. Very disappointed at the Incompetent management of this facility. Our county should do better to serve it’s citizens that go out of their way to do the right thing and recycle.
