For those of you questioning why you need a utility bill. This is a service for the city of longmont. The utility bill proves residency and that you're not just passing through and conveniently dumping your trash. This ensures the yard isn't overflowing and keeping the services available to the residents.
I appreciate the resource. However, we too have experienced the gates being closed early by a an employee, and it’s highly inconvenient that the center is not open at least one weekend day. And last time I checked the information on the website vs google listing was inconsistent with true operations.
Inconsistencies in what's required to be able to dump yard waste and other items. While we like the recycle center and enjoy all the dumping options they have there's inconsistencies when entering the facility that requires you first drive through the booth. We've been allowed through without showing any thing but a drivers license to the expectation that we show a utility bill. Most people go paperless for utility bills as it's the most environmentally friendly. Why a recycle center requires that you have a utility bill is beyond me. Driver's license should suffice. Then, if you don't have one, having to sit there a log on to the City's account while people are waiting to get in is not efficient at all. Make up your side, no ID, ID only, ID and paper utility bill, logging on . . . which is it and make sure those working the booth are consistent. And here's the kicker, my husband and I have different last names and he is not on the utility bills I am and yet, once he showed the bill he was allowed in?? Driver's license should suffice.
Plenty of options for recycling items. There are signs by the front of each roll-off dumpster. Also, you can go to the city website and read up on the recycling services offered. For some things, you need your utility bill and valid ID...
This is a public service that is actually helpful. Makes it easy to dispose of cardboard, styrofoam, batteries, automotive fluids, and yard waste, among other things. Nice to see tax dollars put to good use. Thank you for all that you do!
Well organized, easy to use, friendly staff, they take most items and keep it out of the landfill. It's so good it would make a great example for other cities to emulate, and I hope they do.
Easy to use... New ramps and walkways for quick dropoff. Tree and limb area is large, metal area is easy and open for dropoff, plastic bag, automotive oil and Styrofoam area is separate and easy to use.
This is such a great resource for Longmont residents, it's great to be able to have a place to take stuff instead of just filling up the landfill. Thanks for everything you do!
Great place to recycle anything but Styrofoam and film. If you live in longmont and bring a utility bill and an id you can dump Styrofoam, but I'm not a resident.
It is a recycling center. Single stream recyclables, cardboard, block styrofoam, yard waste, and scrap metal. The employees are super nice.
Cardboard and single stream recyclables are accessible 24x7x365 but the other catagories require you show ID and a utility bill proving you live in Longmont. As such this service is available 08:00 - 16:00, 6 days per week (closed Sunday). It is also closed on official city holidays.
This is a valuable service that contributes greatly to our city. I urge everyone to follow the rules for recycling. Put recyclables in the correct bin and don't cheat.
Today was busy, never seen it before like this time. The city workers have been doing a very good job, trying to make room for everyone. But did not surprises me is that time of the year.
I have been in Longmont for over 30 some years and it’s great we have this place. We need to be recycling and clean up this world and leave it a better place for our children. Oh sorry got carried away. You can recycle trees, leaves, grass clippings, cardboard, paper, shredded paper, styrofoam, plastic, metal, oil, anti-freeze, and I think car batteries. The staff are friendly and helpful with any questions you may have.
