This recycling center is one of many mountain locations offered by the High Country Conservation…read moreCenter organization. It's free to the public and open all day, every day! We were so excited to learn about this place because Summit County does not offer curbside pick-up of recyclables unless you go through a private (and expensive) company. Since we have been building a house for the past year, you can imagine the wood, metal and cardboard waste and scraps - and okay, maybe juuust a few beer cans and Gatorade bottles - we've accumulated. This has become a weekly stop on our way home as we bring a trailer full of recyclables here rather than let them go to a landfill. There are huge roll-offs clearly labeled for different materials and with big steps so you can more easily get higher to toss in your stuff (if you're carrying large things, this is a huge help). They even take things like barbecues, space heaters and the like. I will admit that we've even found something to take home with us from one of the bins - a metal shelving unit that now sits in our garage. If that isn't recycling, I don't know what is. FYI, one thing they don't take is trash. But you can figure that out by reading the signs posted everywhere. The area is kept pretty clean and the bins are emptied frequently meaning we've never had an issue with lack of space for leaving our huge quantities of items. It's also located right across the street from the Habitat for Humanity Restore if you want to keep your green theme going. If you are up in the mountains for outdoor pursuits, there is no excuse not to take your beer cans here on the way home, or to their other locations in Dillon and Frisco! It will only take a couple of minutes. You don't have to interact with any staff, just pull in, drop off and be on your nature-loving, tree-hugging way. From their website: "All recyclables recycled at the drop-off centers end up at the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) located at the Summit County Resource Allocation Park (SCRAP) in Keystone, where they are sorted, bailed, and shipped all over the United States to be made into new products." How cool is that?

All along, I told them the dumpster had to be picked up by Friday. When they delivered the dumpster on Wednesday, I reminded them it had to be picked up on Friday. Friday comes and they have not picked it up. I called and they said, they didn't know if they could get there or not. They finally did pick it up on Friday. EVERYTHING took numerous calls and reminders.

Constant ridiculous price increases. When you call to cancel (and you HAVE to call you can't do it…read moreonline) it asks if you are canceling because of a move. If you say no you are on hold for at least 30 minutes (I hung up at that point.) If you say yes you get through to speak to someone right away. Now they say it's a $70 charge just to come pick up their own containers! Their service was inconsistent and often late day or next day. That's not acceptable in bear country. I would never recommend them to anyone anymore. Prices are higher for Pay as you throw also. They know price gouging- they're great at that.

This company is CRAP! They just want continual contracts.

The only reason I chose their services last year was because they had the best prices in town…read more However, that's changing very rapidly. They keep finding reasons to hike up their prices. When I started with them last year, I was paying about $35 a month for trash AND recycling. Now I'm forking over $45+ a month for trash ONLY. They might still have the best prices around, but don't quote me on that. What earned them these 2 measly stars is the fact that they seem SO disorganized. It's always a colossal pain in the ass to pay the bill. Their website is super hard to navigate and there's always a problem with their payment system. I always end up trying to pay at least 3 times until their crappy system finally accepts my payment. It's definitely not fun having to dig up my credit card, and THEN my checkbook because their system would not take my credit card payment for one reason or another. Paying my trash bill is always such a difficult and inconvenient chore that I dread it each and every time. Not only that, but a few months ago I received a letter from them threatening to take me to collections because I "didn't pay my bill". I was furious and contacted them right away. They admitted their mistake -- I gotta give them that. Still, this type of mistake could've ended badly for a customer who didn't keep track of his/her own payments. What if I didn't realize that I had already paid my bill? They would've taken me to collections, my credit score would've dropped, and I would've coughed up MORE money than I was supposed to. The service they provide is fine. Their truck seems to always be on time and I haven't had any trouble with it so far. However, if you decide to use their services, KEEP TRACK OF YOUR PAYMENTS, because they won't, and be prepared to curse like a sailor when it's time to pay your bill. :)
