I am a big recycler. Why did I take a star away? I'm kinda picky and want things a certain way. I understand that when they need to pick-up a full container and drop off a new one, the style of containers may change. Over the past year, I've had not complaints. All the containers have been similar enough, that unloading my recyclables have been easy. That all changed with my first drop off of 2026. The new container did not have the large square openings with sliding doors. It had little port hole window type openings. Which made it more difficult to empty my recyclables into the container. Instead of dumping my basket into a large opening, I had to empty it by handfuls at a time. This station is suppose to make recycling easy, the port holes did not do that. So I took away a star. When: January 17,2026 Why: Dropping off recycling.

CJD E-Cycling to the rescue…read more I have been accumulating outdated electronics and it was time to get rid of them. I had two not smart flat screen TV's, DVD player, 100 CD Player and a Tuner. I just kept putting them in a closet in my garage. Out of sight, out of mind. Now that I am moving to a new condo, I am finally getting rid of them and doing it the right way. I Googled and checked Yelp for electronic recycling and found CJD. They were just a short drive to Edwardsville, so I timed my drop-off around lunch, so I could eat at a favorite restaurant. Making it a win-win. I loaded all my outdated electronics into my RAV4 and drove to CJD. When I arrived, I just followed their simple signage. The signs guided me into a large garage/shed. I pulled in, popped open my tailgate and a worker came and unloaded my electronics. He took each item and put them in different bins to what type of electronic they were. Once all my items were unloaded, I was good to go. They took all of my items at no cost to me. The associate who I dealt with, spoke minimal english. He smiled and nodded or shock his head to my simple questions. That didn't bother me, I was just glad to be able to properly recycle my old electronics. Do you have some old electronics? If so, take them to CJD E-Cycling.

Do NOT ever use CJD e-cycling in Edwardsville. I held a Cub Scout camp a week ago where we asked…read morefor electronic donations for the Cubs to take apart. Some did a really good job and others....... Not so much. Took the pieces to CJD today only to be yelled at for a solid 10 minutes in front of my children because "they didn't take these apart right" and "you aren't teaching them anything". I will never use them again and I will encourage others not to use them. When the onslaught was over we got in the truck to leave and my daughter said "sorry that lady yelled at you".

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.

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).
