kiyuso (5/5 stars, 6 months ago): We are right in the middle of where Thornton Westminster Northglenn and Federal Heights are so we've been going to Westminster's recycling for years until they changed it recently and then rehauled the whole program where they ID you now to prove your Westminster residency before you can recycle so we decided to check out our actual city's recycling. I wasn't expecting such a big facility when I drove in to recycle at Thornton today! Very cool very neat. I'll be using it from now on!

Liz Hernandez (5/5 stars, 8 months ago): Reasonable setting for recycling. The actual opening to swing by the bins is on 126th and Ogden. The gate has a key pad but you don't need to use it to enter. Just go through during their hours m-f.

Norak Ouk (1/5 stars, 7 months ago): For a city that collect such high taxes they don't seem to be providing much services. It's just tree branches why makes it so complicated. It's something that city should be able to provide/assist the people more than just 2x per year. I can't just cut down a tree and wait for 5 months to dump it.
