What clients say about Lakewood Recycling Center in Lakewood (CO)

• George Sever

  This place is a good place to recycle, but the employees are sometimes very rude for no reason at all. I get anxious going there because I am not sure what type of employee I will get.

  Since very few apartment complexes in the area seem to offer recycling, this is the only option for those still wanting to reduce their waste footprint. It is usually busy, staffed by helpful attendants, and takes a wide variety of recyclables. I would recommend separating them before arriving as it saves you a lot of time and opens the parking up for everyone.

  I've been there about 5 times helping family members dispose of recyclable items. Always a good experience. After the first time, I sorted my items at the house which made it much more efficient. Employees are super nice.

  I am so blessed to live near this amazing facility. I hate creating waste and this place allows me to recycle so many materials and I hardly have waste anymore! :)

  It is so well maintained and organized and since I want to continue to use the facility I always put a donation in the box to show my appreciation.

  My buddy went here and loved it. Attached is a good old picture of us in some recycled clothing. Loved my imagination just absolutely crawling with excitement as I enjoyed the scenery of recycled materials. Just thinking about the possibilities of what my past can become in someone elses future is intense and a feeling I'll never forget. Thank you Lakewood Recycling Center.

  Great first date spot, the volunteers really know their cardboard. I met my current girlfriend while recycling pictures of my ex.

  Great place to take your recyclables. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It is true they don't take all your plastics, but something is better than nothing! I appreciate what they do. They have a list of what they take on their website so you know what you can bring (and a list of other recycling centers too).

  My partner and I are remodeling or kitchen and dining room. Everything has been delivered in boxes. The recycling center has been a blessing in taking all of the cardboard off of our hands. The staff is amazingly helpful. Deborah

  Staffed with friendly, responsive, helpful workers. We live in Golden and bring our recycling (when needed) here as this is the closest location to us. A needed, essential asset and resource for truly all of Jefferson County!

  I just moved and had an abundance of cardboard that would have taken forever for my trash company to take care of since recycling pickups are every other week. This place is a godsend! You just pull in to park, drop off your recyclables by type, and you’re on your merry way! Staff are super friendly also!

  I visited today, and the employees were very kind and beyond helpful! Not only did they answer all of my recycling questions, but they even offered a screw to hold up my license plate when I was struggling to find the one that fell out. Thank you and happy holidays!

  First time bringing my recyclables here today and had a good experience. The attendant helped direct me to the different bins and it was quick and easy. I would for sure recommend sorting your paper, plastic, glass and cardboard before coming to drop them off, it makes the drop off much quicker.

  Easy, easy & easy. I dropped off a bunch of stuff and it was easy. Lived in Lakewood for years and just heard about this place yesterday. And, used it today. Staff is nice. Easy to use. Cans, bottles, plastic bottles, carboard, etc. They take most everything. Thank you Lakewood.

  Too restricted, half the plastic (all had the numerical triangle on them) were disallowed. The recycle workers were very helpful though. I was suprised that I didn't have to separate brown and clear glass. I do realize your rules come from your vendor.

  I always have great experiences with the employees, and everyone has been covid-cautious. However, the scheduling system is terrible. You should be allowed to schedule appointment the day of, so long as there are available slots. [Updated rating because of the new scheduling system. Made my first appointment using it and am hoping it will be better]
