Leona and the other staff there were efficient and even gave me a tour plus an explanation of how the shop works. I have been literally throwing money away by recycling my bottles at the transfer station or forgetting to use the little credit receipts that I get from the supermarket machines until now. This was easy and I got the deposit money back from soda cans, wine bottles and beers all in one place. Some of my items did not have return value in NY and Leona was careful to show me how to check which could be redeemed and which could not without being dismissive or rude about it and was clear about counting and adding up my returns. This was a simple way to reduce waste into the landfill plus get back my deposit money for all my cans and bottles. I highly recommend.

When the work was done 60 minutes later, I was charged more than 4 times what I'd expected. NEVER AGAIN. ZOOM forward to 2026 and I learned of the NEW Freedom Propane, bought by a larger family-owned business. Well, it's a WORLD of difference. I needed to change a cut line from a gas stove to instead extend it to a portable generator spot, add a quick-connect valve and hose. Tom visited, gave me a quote on the job and clearly explained the basis for the quote. NO SURPRISES, unlike the 2022 experience. I agreed to the quote and Cory came the following week. He explained clearly what he'd be doing, worked efficiently, retested ALL the lines. The work was done cleanly, the plantings near the house were worked around, and both Tom and Cory were friendly and well-mannered. Tom & Cory completely renewed my faith in Freedom Propane. Thank you both for your great service.

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.

Now granted, that dry cleaners is eco-friendly and what they were charging was $40 a panel. $320 in the end? For curtains? No. While Scanlon's on Ulster Ave in Kingston, NY isn't organic, they came in at $15 a panel. Done deal. Scanlon's is what you would want from a cleaners: tidy, offers same day dry cleaning, ironing+laundry services and has a detail website highlighting other services such a leather and Ugg cleaning, wedding dress services, etc. Do ask about repair+mending services- if any. Hubs chose his shirts to be hung instead of boxed when he dropped off them off. Unlike other cleaners where you pay when you pick up your clothes, here, you have to pay(?) upfront when you drop off your clothes. Regardless, Chris and his team actually gave my linen curtains the care they deserve and hubs' shirts had a nice crisp to them. The turnaround time was great between dropping my curtains off and picking them up. Hassle-free, prompt and great pricing.
