What do the employees at site 1 do? For the past decade I've been going there and not once did an…read moreemployee help to unload anyone. Last week I saw a woman struggling with a mattress and not one employee render assistance. They push the buttons on the compactors one in a while but what jobs do they actually do? The site on Ole Smithfield has good employees at the household chemical area but that's it. You could have one person help direct people for the rare instance that they do not know where to put trash. It's about time Wake county starting saving money instead of wasting it.

Is it weird to say I feel zen when I come here? Because I do. The color coordination, lettering…read moreand numbering makes it easy to understand where you are supposed to go to dispose of certain items. The improvements they have made over the years makes me so happy, and I find it such a convenience rather than a chore to come here. The staff is friendly and helpful, and always willing to lend a hand. I appreciate that I can park my car in one spot and then walk to the different sections to unload household waste, recyclables, cardboard etc. there is nothing that is not accepted here. I know there is debate out there over the impact recycling truly has on the environment, but all I know is that for a location that deals with garbage and recyclables, they really make it easy for the consumer to be able to put everything away in the correct spot. Extra bonus, we are able to drop off our Christmas trees here so I don't have to have them in front of our house for a few weeks waiting to be picked up.

My experience with Always Buying Scrap Inc. was extremely unprofessional…read more I called to ask about selling catalytic converters and was immediately treated like a scammer. The woman on the phone started asking a series of questions about "paperwork," who I worked for, and whether I was a mechanic shop instead of simply answering a basic pricing inquiry. A few minutes later, my father called and asked to speak with a manager. Despite previously being told that a price could be given with the serial number, the manager spoke very quickly, in a confusing and roundabout manner, and continued treating my father like he was doing something wrong simply for asking about pricing. At most other scrap yards or catalytic converter buyers, you can provide the serial number or send photos by text or email and receive a general price estimate. That's standard practice in the industry. Instead, we were essentially told we would need to drive all the way there just to inquire about value, only to be casually told it might be worth around $100. This is not how professional businesses treat potential customers. The communication was dismissive, unhelpful, and unnecessarily suspicious. I would strongly recommend other sellers call around before dealing with this company.

From the owner: Get the best scrap prices and a simple, courteous experience. We accept all types of ferrous and…read morenonferrous metals.

Quite convenient to have a service like this, although it'd be nice if the town of Cary would just pick up my extra recycling that doesn't fit in my bin instead of making me drive to this convenience center... anyway. Overall, no complaints!

And once you've accomplished that, there's something even more satisfying in recycling the things in which it was packed. Cary's recycling center will take nearly everything: cardboard, books, glass, plastic, tin, aluminum, pots, pans, even furniture and yard waste, but not plastic bags. There are a few restrictions though, so check the city's website to be sure. Offloading an old computer, or any other electronics, will cost you a few dollars, but otherwise, there is no fee. As I enter the gate, a friendly employee will stop and ask what I'm dropping off, then direct me to the appropriate bins. Sometimes, late in the afternoon, it's difficult to find a spot in any of the three or so containers for cardboard boxes, but at least I know there are others making use of this resource. It may sound odd for an outdoor recycling center, but this location is kept pretty clean by both the City and the residents who drop things off which makes it even easier to keep coming back.
