Troy Recycling

We have been going to Troy Recycling for many years. It used to be that we would fill smaller trash cans with all of our recycles; glass plastic and aluminum cans all separated then take them up to get weighed in the larger blue or white barrels. They would then clear out the scale to zero and pour the smaller trash cans into the large cans. Well, the past two weeks we have brought a truck load each week filled with recycles. They told us to not fill the small trash cans but put the recycles directly into the large barrels. The guy takes an empty barrel and zeros it out then takes my full barrel and puts it on the scale. The problem is, every barrel is a different size and weight. I was clearly being cheated on all my barrels so on one of the last barrels I told the guy I wanted him to zero it out then pour mine into the one he zeroed out. Then after he was done I put my empty barrel on the scale and it was 2.6 lbs less weight than the one the guy claims was the same size! I would have gotten cheated out of 2.6 lbs of plastic on just that one barrel full of plastic recycles. Who knows how much I got cheated in the past two weeks. figure between 1 and 3 lbs per barrel times 1.16 per pound of plastic and 15 barrels. This made me mad. I have always been careful to go through all the recycles before we take them pouring out any water or other liquid left in any of the bottles. I have also crushed down bottles and cans. I’m honest and I take the time to do what is right and these people are blatantly DISHONEST and cheating people. Probably every person who comes in there is getting cheated. Seems like everywhere I go these days there are people trying to cheat other people and I’m getting sick of it! Thank goodness there are wevsites like Unilocal where customers can warn others about such things and also tell ouhers about good places to go. Time to find another recycle place that doesn’t cheat everyone. This place has crosses up and they pretend to be honest and to be believers in Christ. They should be ashamed of themselves! Customers… consider yourself warned.

OK every time I take in my CRV I feel like I’m getting screwed. Well this time I can prove it. I pre-​counted and pre-​weighed everything, took it in and low and behold they scam me out of 10% of my CRV. Without being too specific it was pretty much across the board with the aluminum being the closest at a 2% take. I hate to single this place out because i believe it is rampant in the industry, the state really needs to regulate these guys better.

Service here sucks! No where to park. Can’t ever understand a word anyone says and the Staff are always real grouchy.

very fair prices for all types of recycling: aluminum, plastic, glass, car batteries, radiators and a ton more The staff was nice. They are very busy so I respect that they need to keep moving people through the line. They often have coupons for higher prices for your recycling. So if you are in the area, coupons are in the PennySaver
