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.

I took another tour of the South Wake Landfill and highly recommend touring the facility. This time…read moreI got to see the seagulls that were migrating from the Great Lakes. They spend the day at the landfill and nights at Jordan Lake. Bald Eagles were traveling from Jordan Lake with them. The landfill is an amazing place that keeps us healthy from diseases while doing what it can to protect the environment. A lot of thought and technology goes into it. The landfill has a liner system; the groundwater is monitored; the gas is being monitored by the current flare system and will soon be reused. Dominion Energy is building a site to use the methane gas released to provide renewable energy. Then there is a system for the leachate to remove the bad stuff and dehydrate it and filter the water. Besides the landfill, it is also a convenience center, multi-material recycling facility and also a household hazardous waste facility. This landfill handles the waste for over 1.1 million people in Wake County. The landfill is expected to be full by 2040 and there is no future facility set up yet. But a big problem is 65% of the material is the landfill could have been composted or recycled. So if we were doing more the landfill would not be filling so fast.

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.

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.

Listen up y'all, today I had the very great privilege to deal with an amazing business owner who…read morecares deeply about his company and customer service. I can't even begin to tell you how joyful it was. Nowadays, everyone seems to be working on a very short fuse and finding anyone that is kind and patient is getting harder and harder. Dennis was just such a person. I am getting ready to move to Burlington (cue sad music now) and as I am slowly going insane with packing, I am finding more & more broken electronics that honestly have me wondering if I need to contact that TV show Hoarders. For real. I have a 42" TV, a 20" monitor, 2 computer keyboards, an old wifi router, a broken wii, a broken Hello Kitty alarm clock (don't diss the Kitty!) and an entire shopping bag filled with various plugs and cords. I wanted to take this to a recycling center myself however I have a fondness for compact cars & the TV just wouldn't fit. I didn't want to just dump the TV because I care about where I live & I know that TVs have a lot of toxic parts to them. I went online to get some advice (thank you Nextdoor) and was told about Anything with a Plug. I went online to visit their site & wow. It was SUPER easy to make the appointment & to prepay online with zero issue. They have a form to fill out but only if you need to declare what you are recycling. I found this out after I'd filled it all in. No worries, had a laugh with Dennis about it. I made the appointment via a phone call & all of this, chatting with a caring business owner, paying online, and the truckload of junk....all of this is costing me the low cost of $40. Yep. You heard me right. Dennis is coming by to pick all of this stuff up from my home....for $40. Y'all...if you have ever read any of my reviews you know that I will jump up and down trying to get anyone to listen & use a good local service. Well....here I am, got my jumpin' shoes on. If you have ANY electronics that need to go to recycling, why not take them to Dennis. Or, if you are like me, and hail to the compact car, give him a call! Give him your business! This is one of the good guys.
