In So IL to do some work, I looked on the Carterville city website for a local recycling center. I…read morehave over three month's worth of neatly sorted cardboard, chipboard, glass, plastics #1 & 2 (most facilities no longer accept higher # plastics), some aluminum cans, and paper. They're all in separate cardboard boxes in my car ready to be sorted into the correct bins at a local recycling center. I've been doing this nearly weekly since I was in college from state to state, including the most rural reaches of some of the least populated US states like Montana. On arriving at Progress Port Recycling Center, what do I read? "All items must be in a bag except large cardboard." Whaaaaaaat? So to encourage the public to be responsible and recycle, this facility deems it reasonable to have us place each kind of recyclable in an ocean-clogging plastic bag first. Or to pay for biodegradable plastic bags that can cost upwards of 30-times per square inch the cost of cheapo grocery-store bought plastic trash bags. This is an epic recycling fail. Progress Port Recycling Center has large bins right outside clearly marked with each kind of permitted recyclable. But they further discourage citizens from doing the responsible thing by threatening us with notices that the facility is under video surveillance (cameras ARE visible) to be sure we're following the rules. This is the only recycling facility in the entire US I've ever been to with such an insipid, counter-productive dump-your-recyclables-in-nonrecyclable-plastic-bags-first rule. We drove to nearby Carbondale that has a vastly more rational recycling center--giant bins indoors, each dedicated to a different kind of recyclable consumers can sort for ourselves. It's far more ecologically sustainable. Consumers don't have to waste money to buy non-recyclable plastic bags or expensive and energy inefficient paper bags ... to recycle. This, in turn, encourages consumers to do the right thing. Sheesh.

I honestly do not think I've ever had worse service in my entire life. We have had this service…read moresince 12/2022 and it has consistently been horrible service. Our trash is missed at least once per month and often weeks in a row. No matter how many times we call and are told "sorry they'll come today", they do not come. If we didn't pay in advance I would immediately terminate services and advise no one to use this company. By far the worst company/service I have ever used.

I have a bad leg and back, so I keep my garbage can close to the alley. I have called and told them…read morethis twice. I don't have a very big yard and place to keep my can anyway. They got angry about me having the can out of line with the can of the people across the alley from me, even tho that's their back yard on the alley vs my sideyard being on the alley. So they left the can where they wanted it. I left it there but they got angry when the can is empty, and left the lid open and the can crooked and in the way of where I park when it's raining. My leg is a little better, so I push it up against the house, and then right onto the alley two steps away for pick up. They always leave my neighbor's can perfectly the way it was. I changed where I park and where I keep the can when it's empty. Up against the house was i tended to mean "leave the can alone". Today checked it anyway (?) and they threw the can down down on its side even tho I had the can up against the house. Last week it had a bag in it but it wasn't much and my leg hurt so I hadn't pushed to the alley. It was up against the house. They checked the can anyway and left the lid open in the rain further out in the yard. It's frustrating. I can't afford a little locked can area left where I need it. I'm just going to leave the can in it's side and try again to contact the office.

Absolute terrible Service. They change pick up days with no notice . When you file for a missed…read morepick up you're waiting 2 days to a week later . They hardly ever even come on the scheduled pick up days . Do not recommend.

Recycling center that actually allows more separation & willing to take odd items. (Check pictures)…read more This is a one stop drop for items too good to throw away. The only complaint can be that people must separate their own stuff to drop off. HOWEVER, unlike "single stream"... The person dropping off here knows that the items have been given the best opportunity not to end up in a landfill.

This place was NEVER like that. I called first and the woman on the phone was SUPER nice, and when I showed up the guys that helped me unload old pop cans were smiling, and really cool. If you have to recycle in that area, I say you go here, cause other places want you to just give them your recycle, ot they are total jerks(a dog named family comes to mind). Green Trac is my new place to recycle!
