Ecopark is your solution to "can this be recycled?". Much of the time, the answer is yes. I find…read moremyself heading to their website frequently to see if Monroe County recycles certain items. For things that are recyclable but aren't accepted in curbside recycling bins, you can take your items to Ecopark off of Paul Road in Chili. Today I brough scrap metal, empty prescriptions bottles, and the "bag of plastic bags" I know we all have. No appointments necessary for that stuff, though if you are bringing things like paint or hazardous waste, you will need to make an appointment online. Many things are free to recycle, some have a fee. I paid $5 to recycle a tire on a previous trip. The line of cars is usually pretty long but moves more quickly than you'd expect. Once you're in the building, attendants let you know where you can put your items. Drive out the other side of the building and exit the way you came in. Easy process, and there are a few less items in the landfill!

I've been using ROC recycling services for a decade. Recently there have been multiple Sundays…read morethat I walk 1.7 mi (one way) with around 500 piece's and the they're closed. ROC advertises their hours, Sundays being 10a to 4pm. No sign on the door or updated phone recording. Today is Sunday and I'm going to make ONE more trip this morning to return my deposits. Please don't disappoint, it's not easy as a disabled veteran to walk that far with 600 cans.

There are many stores around the city that take cans and bottles for a 5 cent refund. Wegmans, Tops…read moreare just a few of the bigger stores. Recently I noticed a small store located at 471 East Ridge road called "Quick Cans". It is in a little plaza at the 475 plaza. I decided to check it out for a couple of reasons. Quite often when people go to the bigger stores and you have 10 or 15 cans or bottles, you end up waiting for the guy who has 3 grocery bags full. You might get lucky if he lets you first, LOL. I checked this place out and they pay the exact same price as the big places, 5 cents per can or bottle. Instant service, people count your cans and bottles right away and pay! While I was there I saw a variety of people coming in. From the homeowner cashing in a few bags of cans, to landlords-business people coming in with larger loads. I was impressed. If you want to save time I suggest "Quick Cans".

I dropped off a hospital grade recliner with an all metal frame. The only thing that was wood was the hollowed out press board and foot rest. I was charged with taking back the recliner and picking it up myself. Being that it's a mechanical recliner it was extremely heavy and ultimately I threw my back out. Don't go here there's plenty of other scrap yards.
