With mounds of shiny visuals and machinery, I don't know why this Hurley recycling center- minutes…read moreaway from Woodstock is so intriguing with a "it could be part of a 70s horror movie taking place in a scrap yard" feel. Anyhow, our electrician removed antiquated fluorescent light fixtures in the basement- but, didn't take the junk he removed with him and it was up to us to dispose them in an eco-friendly way. After hubs looked into recycling centers, Hurley Transfer came up. The family who runs this recycling center deliver a full-service sorting system that is super easy that even a literate child could do this. Not really- but it's simple. Books and other paper goods go together, TVs and electronics together, light bulbs- the super thin+long ones we had, have to be placed in a plastic trash can and are $2ea to dispose, plastics, metal in another section, even clothing, etc. Because we were newbies, the father+son duo helped us along the way. Thank you so much! If you're a resident, there's a small annual fee to dispose your items. Double-check for non-residents though. Think all you want. Continue thinking that's it's ok to mix your waste- but its places like this that can help deviate waste from going into landfills.

I even got a compliment from the manager for flattening my tin cans, as asked in the site's rules (read: wish list.)

Other times, the driver turned the truck around when I flagged him down, again because I forgot to put the garbage out! The office staff is also very professional and helpful. I highly recommend giving Recycle Depot a chance to serve you. They provide an essential service at a great price!

We called today about missed pickup and they are sending someone out right away. They take everything that is put out as long as it will fit in the truck, and if something falls on the ground they pick it up. The team members that come and pick up the garbage are just as nice and courteous as the people in the office. Highly recommend them. Great service and it comes with a smile!!

It is my pleasure to write this. I was out shoveling the end of my driveway after a small snowstorm…read morethat left 3 inches of wet, heavy snow. I was starting at the end of my driveway where the snow plows deposited wet, heavy slush. I observed a sanitation truck come down Bruynswick Rd in the Gardiner, New Paltz area on 12/5/2024 @ approximately 11:30 am & stopped across the street from me, the gentleman got out of his truck & proceeded to pick up my neighbors garbage pail out of the snow that obviously had been knocked over by a snow plow. He then continued & picked up all the garbage that was knocked out of the pail & cleaned it all up. I thanked him for the EXTRA EFFORT he performed. I wish I asked for his name, but I asked God to bless him. Most sanitation companies wouldn't get out of their trucks anymore as they have an arm on their truck to do the dirty work & if your pail was knocked over by either the wind, a bear or a snow plow, they leave it where it lies an continue down the road. Kudos to LeMela Sanitation & the gentleman who went ABOVE & BEYOND his duties. I didn't ask for his name, but he seemed he was Latino, I sure hope his management see's this review & recognizes him for a JOB WELL DONE. When my wife comes home from work, I am going to suggest changing our company to LeMela Sanitation. My existing company DOESN'T even get out of their truck for ANY reason, & if we do, it's because of this gentleman. Again, THANK YOU & GOD BLESS the unknown collector.

Only polite request I ever reecived was not to show up 5 minutes before they close with a full truck If I have anything that I am not sure about, I go with a sample and ask if they take items like that. As to the review from a few years ago about being yelled at by "rednecks", I can only say that I would have just ignored somebody like that and gone and talked to the boss in the office to tell the guy off. I think these characters are no longer there. Also, complaining about what they pay is useless. They state clearly that everything you bring to them it is just metals, so what an item cost originally or is worth is of no concern. Just ask your self why you are "recycling" ? For me it is not to make money. I don't follow the going rates for metals. I like to do good for the environment and the few bucks you get can be spent at the hot dog place next door:-) It's close to where I work and I am happy to have this place for drop off, instead of putting stuff into regular garbage. May times I am just happy to leave stuff without being paid.

They quickly came over in just an hour to give me a very reasonable firm bid. They then immediatly proceeded with the herculean task of removing two full box trucks of broken down furniture, soggy books and a large collection of miscellaneous stuff. It took well over 9 hours to do it all - but it was done cleanly, efficiently and courteously. I would highly recommend this Junk Away business for any cleanup or removal.
