Very courteous and professional assistance with recyclables. Grateful that communities outside Durango are welcome to drop off various single stream recyclables, including free glass dump. Worth the fees for all else which remain reasonable. Support this local recycling center.
This guy flew off the handle screaming!
Because I was unaware of their policies.
This was my first time trying to recycle anything.
Upon presenting recyclable materials, the employee’s conduct quickly escalated from mere hostility to outright aggression, involving both verbal threats and physical intimidation. This encounter was not only unsettling but left me feeling harassed and unsafe. Such behavior, particularly from a representative of the county, reflects poorly on the professionalism and safety standards I would expect from a public service facility.
Outrageously disrespectful employee during my attempt to drop off recyclables here. Seriously uncalled for level of condescension and snarkiness by the employee who was working at this facility when I visited yesterday.
At this rate, I’ll simply overfill my home container and have the driver deal with the consequences when they pick up my home recycling every week to avoid having to subject myself to this behavior from the “professionals” staffing this facility, or simply toss my recyclables in the trash. I was truly stunned at the lack of courtesy…then I read the reviews here and found that their lack of decorum is a common practice.
Never again will I make the effort to take my items here.
Have usually enjoyed coming here to recycle our glass. However, we were treated poorly by someone who works here. Very unlike people we normally encounter in Durango which I feel is a very friendly town. We were yelled at and condescended to simply because we missed a sign. He could have been understanding of our confusion, but was really awful instead.
I have had only three most positive experience with Durango recycling. The hosts are friendly and helpful. It’s the easiest facility around and takes the most types of recyclables. Thank you for making it easy for us.
As one who drives my recycling in from Dolores every couple weeks, really you guys in Durango have nothing to complain about.
The young guy with dark hair is nice and helpful. The guy with brown hair and glasses (working Sat. Morning) is very rude. There is no need to behave as he does.
I would like to suggest recycling pick up every 2 weeks rather than every week. This could be a cost saving to the community. My son lives in Denver (downtown) and his recycling is picked up on this schedule. I would even go so far as to say 1x/month pickup. I think the majority of users wouldn't have too much to wait that long in between. Thanks!
I have been repeatedly impressed by how expensive and inconvenient the City of Durango makes recycling. We are trying to do the right thing by recycling, but the city makes it harder and more frustrating to accomplish this with each passing year. Bleh!
