Republic Services Recycling – Southside

Staff here are always friendly and polite, it’s easy to get in and out, and I do think it is cleaner than most!

I mean, what you can say about a recycling place??? They are really pretty much the same no matter where you go. They smell pretty terrible, the people that work there are generally pretty rude, you feel confused by what you have to do and where you are supposed to go, and it’s generally not the most pleasant experience. I mean, you are dealing with trash after all. It almost makes sense why so many people detest recycling after you spend 5 minutes in one of these places.
I have experienced a lot of recycling centers in a lot of different places, and I have to say, I have always felt like I was being treated best when I was at South Side. I don’t why, but it’s just a cut above. First off, the men that work there are always patient with me if I need to sort when I get there. I have NEVER had anyone act patient at a recycling center. They are even friendly, and talk to me. Also, they will recycle nearly anything. If they don’t recycle it there, they will gladly tell where you to go to have it recycled and even give you directions. How incredibly out of character is that?
Yes it still smells and yes, you are still dealing with garbage. But it’s better than most. FYI they don’t recycle Copper… sorry guys.
