Sims Municipal Recycling Of NYC

Sims Municipal Recycling Of NYC

Why would someone go to, nevertheless write a review of a recycling factory, especially a 5 star…read morereview?! While I can't speak to the underlying output and success of the factory itself, SIMS offers a fantastic guided tour, showing New Yorkers how their trash gets processed and recycled. Tours are about 60 to 90 minutes and lead you through the whole factory, highlighting how the material comes in, how its initially deposited, sorted, and shipped out to people who want recycled material for use. While not the best place for a date spot, there's definitely something cool about getting to go see how a little piece of New York City runs beneath the surface. There's also hands on exhibits for kids to learn a bit about how recycling works and (metaphorically) get their hands dirty with the toy sorting machines

Sims is a bit out of the way as it's located at the edge of Brooklyn, along the waterfront, and you…read morehave to walk pass sanitation trucks and a detention center to get there, BUT if you're interested in educating yourself on where all NYC recycling ends up, this is the place! There are tours available on their website or by appointment and they last about an hour to 1.5hrs. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to answer any questions we may have. They have kid-friendly displays and demos of how everything gets identified, sorted, compacted, and re-sold to companies that make the packaging of our daily goods. They'll also take you to an overlook of the facilities so you can see how the mountains of recycled material goes from trucks to and through the sorting machines. It's not the most glamorous place, but it's a cool learning experience you'll remember.

Located right at the corner (where you enter home depot), this place is perfect to drop off…read morewhatever metals you may have. I had some pots/pans that were no longer in condition to use due to wear and tear. Not sure if this scrap yard pays top dollar but I dropped by to recycle responsibly rather than for the monies. People were nicer than I expected. I was in and out quick since I had a few items. So, drop by if ya got any metals laying around... FYI: They close earlier on Saturdays

I went in as someone who just had a bunch of scrap metal lying around, not as someone who hunts for…read morescrap metal to resell. I went through the main entrance and got told that the entrance was at the home depot side, so I had to carefully back out and make my way. All fair - I have to respect the line and other people's time. There were 3-4 vans ahead of me and I waited maybe 20-30 minutes. The process was smooth as someone who's not in the industry. 1) Go in and get your car weighted 2) Get directed to a spot where you will unload all your metal 3) Head towards the exit to get reweighed 4) Get paid As someone not in the industry, I was just given the value of the weight in light iron, because they wanted to get me out and not sort whatever metal I had. Thankfully I didn't have anything valuable like copper. Unfortunately, the gave me 5 cents a pound and valued everything as light iron. I had a 100 pounds (or so I'm told) and got paid $5 for it. Not worth the manual labor nor the gas used. The staff here are pretty accommodating and will direct you as needed. Not the most welcoming but definitely not rude either. When I called, I was told they would sort the metal I had for the appropriate prices. No such thing happened. They just want to get people in and out.
