This place has been great every time I've visited. The Ruby Lane Fairview Heights, IL location is…read morejust southwest of the intersection by Fazoli's and the Old Navy plaza, behind Moody Park. Everyone is so nice. You drive through the place, and they'll even help you unload. Recently I've noticed some recycling centers ceasing to take plastic, so I tried reaching out to Phoenix before packing my car full of recyclables. It was hard to reach the place. The number 235-2712 has been disconnected, as well as the 489-5052 number I found online, and a 293-6282 number sounded like a fax machine. I got a hold of the coordinator by calling Support System and Services, and he confirmed they're open Mon-Sat 8am-2pm, and they take plastic #1 and #2, household glass (like bottles, etc; not things like automotive glass), tin, cardboard, magazines, paper, etc. I didn't ask him, but in the past when I've brought glass, they've said they like the clear glass separated from brown, green, etc. He also told me that 293-6282 is the number at the actual center, but if they're busy it goes to the fax machine.

Nowadays, my parents have this giant green garbage can courtesy of the recycling department that they tow to the curb; you don't even have to sort anything...they do all of that stuff for you. I think it tells you how far we've come when that recycle bin is bigger than my parents' real garbage can. Once I moved away from home, I've realized the lack of recycling that is done at apartment complexes. Don't laugh, but for the years I didn't have recycling, I've dragged recyclable trash home to dump. It's just a habit. I just can't in good conscience dump cardboard in the garbage can. It's a bit tedious obviously (and yes, slightly crazy) to drag trash to Chicago though. When I first moved down here, I actually really thought about asking friends who had houses if they would mind if I dumped my recyclables with theirs. But after researching on google, I found this place. And they are just the solution. Phoenix is open Monday through Saturday 8-2. They pretty much take the usual recyclables except for styrofoam and #6 plastic. They've also stopped taking plastic bags, but that's okay because Trader Joe's, Schnucks, Dierbergs, and Walmart all have containers for those nowadays. Here's a list: Plastics #1-9, except 6 Tin Aluminum Newspaper Mixed paper (junk mail, etc) Phone books Magazines Catalogs Glass Cardboard They do ask that you separate the materials by type and also to rinse all the containers. And it's a drive through recycling center meaning that you drive up and inside the big barn, stop the car, and three or four employees will come empty your car for you. They don't talk much, but they quickly get the job done and you're on your way. The website also states that they take computers. I'm not sure about that, but you might want to call and check.

Booking an appointment for the shredding truck to come to the home was a breeze, and the professional who arrived with his truck offered clear communication throughout the process, even going so far as to notify us that he would be able to arrive at the home ahead of schedule. It was cool to watch the magic bin on the truck do its work, reducing mounds of paper clutter to a particle size accepted by all government agencies. With its responsive service and myriad options for business and residential recycling and document destruction, Citishred makes it easy to be green.

As a commercial office building manager for many years, I was referred to Always Green Recycling by…read morea building tenant. Interested in having a single stream recycling program for an 18 story office building in Clayton, I hired Always Green Recycling to assist with that program. My experience with them was very positive, and the tenants were very happy to know that all materials were being recycled, food waste was the only waste that went out the door. They hire a team of professional workers that were always genuinely nice and dressed appropriately. They were timely with their pick-ups and built a wonderful rapport with each of the building tenants. Because the recycling plan at the 18 story building went off without a hitch, I implemented their services at all of my other 7 commercial office buildings and those tenants jumped onboard immediately and were also very happy with the services they were providing. Always Green Recycling will provide you with the materials and containers needed to help you educate your audience. Always Green Recycling comes HIGHLY recommended for all of your commercial office building recycling needs. Thank you, Renee Chapman Sr. Facilities Manager St. Louis, MO

Always Green has recently become our condo development's recycling and trash management company. I…read morenever thought I would be writing a review of a recycling and trash company, but they do such a good job I was motivated to give them the credit they have earned. We have six, three story, apartment buildings with trash cans designated on each floor and recycling bins in the garage. This company has been so reliable and the men appear to be very hard, dependable workers. They also clean and sanitize our trash cans periodically and are excited to provide that service. Today for the first time ever, our condo management sponsored a shredding service through Always Green. They set up on time and we were not only encouraged to bring any documents that needed shredding, but we could actually watch them being shredded on a small TV screen on their truck. Always Green you do a great job and thank you for being part of our condo family
