Most everyone is aware that being Green means recycling and not polluting or littering air, water,…read moreor ground. More and more people are becoming conscious to REDUCE their consumption, REUSE (or donate) anything possible, REPAIR anything possible, and ultimately RECYCLE what remains. In addition, anything that is toxic like batteries, unusable paint, yard chemicals, solvents, oils, aerosol cans, fluorescent light bulbs, anything that does not decompose into dirt, must be disposed of safely and most likely can be recycled in some form. Sonoma County Landfill has a household toxic disposal/recycling center which I use whenever I need to. I never, ever put anything toxic in my trash or recycle bins at home. This has been my reason for coming to the Sonoma County Landfill. Not to put anything at all into the landfill, but to make sure that anything from my household that is toxic be recycled. There is usually a line of trucks and cars up to the toxic recycling station, but it moves quite fast. You are told to stay in your vehicle, handed a clip board with a simple form to fill out stating you are a Sonoma County resident, and when you reach the drop-off station the attendant takes your toxics out of your car trunk or pickup bed. Pretty Simple! The Residential: Household Toxic Disposal & Recycling station is only open Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 7:30 am to 2:30 pm. There is another way to recycle other more common things at Sonoma County Landfill. Just around the corner from the Household Toxics station are a series of huge dumpsters. One each for plastics, metals, glass, paper, cardboard, etc. For me, I am a little uncomfortable putting some items in my home recycle bin like EMPTY yard insecticide plastic bottles, or Roundup plastic bottles, empty paint cans, plastics without the recycle number, things like that . . . even though it is probably okay to do so. I just drive up to the giant recycle dumpsters and put those things in their respective dumpster. Since construction crews unload industrial amounts of these materials into these dumpsters, it makes me feel like my little recyclable items will be included in the big melt downs and not sorted out; I could be wrong. Note: All these services are Free! The one thing that Sonoma County Landfill does Not recycle is Styrofoam (polystyrene). So, that means everyone in Sonoma County throws this toxic stuff into the land fill. Not Good! What I do is save all my Styrofoam in my garage until I have a car full and then drive down to Hayward (1 1/2 hours away) to a company that truly recycles Styrofoam. I am dedicated to doing my part to be environmentally responsible. I produce extremely little garbage in my life. I have the smallest garbage can (20 gallon) of the four sizes available from our disposal company. It takes me weeks to fill it up. Everything else I consume goes into either the blue recycle bin or the green bin for yard/food composting. I drive a low emissions vehicle and I am a vegan (you wouldn't believe how much being vegan helps the environment). Making my carbon footprint as low as humanly possible is my goal . . . kind of like the Native Americans did with their harmony with Nature. I wish . . . I was that skillful! At least, I have an ideal to aim for. Review 0073

I had a terrible experience at CalWest Recycling. The owner was incredibly rude and unprofessional…read morefrom start to finish. Not only was he cursing at me, but he also called me a "dick," which is completely unacceptable behavior for someone running a business. To make matters worse, I was instructed to unload and move my own pallet of batteries for recycling. After I had already done the work, I was suddenly told I couldn't continue because I was wearing Birkenstocks. If that was actually a safety policy, one of the employees could have easily told me before I started unloading instead of waiting until I was finished. When I was told I had to wait in my car, I simply walked over to my vehicle, and the owner continued insulting me by calling me a "dick" as I left. Customer service and basic professionalism were completely absent. There are plenty of other recycling businesses that treat their customers with respect. I would definitely recommend taking your business elsewhere.

Man said he was going based off what was in the computer. After seeing the price difference I wanted to separate the copper to make a couple extra dollars since I had it mixed.

Words cant explain how frustrated I was. I ended up taking a loss at the end of the day and affected me mentally due to financial struggles.

So what's good about "Computer Recycling"? I pulled up, dropped the tailgate, a guy comes out and starts taking all the crappy electronics out and stacking it with other junk people delivered. I helped - but this guy unloaded the microwave which was heavy. I then got back into my truck and drove off. What could be nicer than that?! Free disposal of all this old nasty electronic crap. If you are a landlord or your brother-in-law moves out of your house, you will love this place! I can't tell you how exhilarating it was to drive off and leave all of that stuff. No papers to sign, no cranky old guy to say, "I don't know... that looks like nasty stuff." Just drive up, dump it and leave. Who knows? Maybe you can get rid of your brother-in-law too! They may have a job for him sorting all the stuff out. He could probably handle it with some supervision.

On numerous occasions, truck drivers and crew have not gotten or have ignored vital information regarding details of waste and recycling collections at our home in Lafayette, CA. Most discouraging of all, Republic Services policy includes NO credit for time periods already paid up (and you always pay in advance for their services - not the usual for any service company). Consequently, when you want to end service because you are moving out, and for any other reason, and you've already paid for a the 3-month period in question, you receive no credit for the time you will not need service. This could mean up to 3 months of wasted expense, if you were to need to end service near the beginning of the 3-month billing period that was already paid for.
