Our normal company we use to use is slowing getting out of the business. We had to find someone and pretty quick. We looked up Absolute Recycling. The driver Ray was awesome. He was on-time, professional and very courteous. He explained all the details, cleaned up what little mess there was. He even had oil absorbent pads for his gear and feet as to not leave a mess. He did a great job and we will sure be calling this place again. EPA ID - M0R000533323 State ID - 04315 Check them out for your oil recycling, you won't be disappointed.

Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and explained in detail the process although I couldn't always hear him because of the noise. We were given hard hats and eye protection while touring the warehouse for safety. The plastics from the orange hefty bag program are made into little pellets which are then made into plastic lumber which can be purchased factory direct for less than the big box stores charge. So glad I was able to visit!

No sorting is necessary and there is no need to bundle papers or flatten cans or separate cans from bottles. The design of the cart makes it easy to wheel to the curb even when it is full of heavy magazines and newspapers. The bi-weekly pick up schedule is well timed for my situation as the cart is usually full after two weeks. I have used the Recycle Bank rewards program to purchase gift cards, movie tickets and magazine subscriptions and have been pleased with that process.

They told me to take a picture of the computer ports & they would be able to match up what I needed. So that's what I did.
