However, I was directed to the trash area for the packing foam. I know the county does not recycle foam. We will look into a way to do that. I am impressed with MOCO's effort to separate and recycle trash as much as possible. Only 4 stars due to inability to recycle packing foam.

8/23/24 Should you need to get rid of your unwanted bikes,…read more computers, refrigerators, pornographic magazine collections, yard shurbs/waste residential oil waste and all around garbage, this place is for you. Especially if the junk you have is more than the garbage workers can handle. For a long time we have had bedding frames that should have been removed by Bob's Discount Furniture. The people assigned to remove the bedding refused to take frames. Long story short,...the hell with Bob's Discount Furniture. Today, I am taking the bed flats to The Montgomery County Shady Grove Transfer Station and Recycling Center. When I lived in Rockville, I remember passing this place a number of times and never gave it a second thought. The signs for where to go aren't to clear, but once you enter through the main gates it pretty much a direct path. Once you get to the top of the hill, the garbage waste is on the left. There is also a place to get rid of unwanted oil. If you go to the left, the first station you will see on your right is the electronics center. This is for unwanted computers, tv's, playstation, xbox and holiday lights to name a few. Behind the electronics disposable is the paper recycling center. Unwanted bicycles are sometimes deposited here as well. The next location is for Residential Oil Waste. I have not needed to visit this location except for driving around it. Getting rid of the planks from our old bed was very satisfying. Granted I would have like to recycle the wood, but I had more issues with trying to recycle wood "the right way", that I no longer cared what happened to the wood. Nevertheless, in just a few short minutes I was able to get rid of what I did not want. This place makes the Virginia Recycling Center look like child's play. My plan is to get rid of the last three sections of our old bed by next week. We will see what happens when that time comes.

I highly recommend using this company because they treat your donation items carefully. If you especially have items you can't use any longer but could use a new home this is the company to use. They also take junk as well and will dispose of it properly. Just like their website says " they recycle and reuse". Believe or not they are cheaper then the other junk removal companies and you get a tax deduction.
