What clients say about Montgomery County Recycling in Riderwood (MD)
As a truck driver this place is terrible. I’ve been to a lot of recycle places and this is the worse one. They are super slow unless you’re one of there trucks. They only got 2 docks and it’s tight. They got trash bins dropped everywhere all in the way. There’s 5 people walking around telling you what to do and they all telling you different things. So uncoordinated. One way in and one way out.
Best idea ever! It's a fantastic thing to have access to. I go there several times a year. Staff is always friendly and helpful. All kinds of recycling from old electronics, batteries, paint and motor oil to metal, and then dumping the rest of your mixed garbage.
I've been using the Ecowise program for our business's chemical disposal needs, and it's been a fantastic experience. Brenda and her team are not only a pleasure to work with but also incredibly knowledgeable and supportive throughout the process."
I brought my elementary students here for a tour. It was super informative. The gentleman who did the tour and informational presentation was so knowledgeable, and described the facility and processes very well! Highly recommend! My students learned so much about recycling!
I have been coming here to drop off trash for decades and it always has been a very positive experience. The employees have always been helpful too. Wide variety of places to recycle various items. Recommended!
Pickup guys dumped broken glass all over the street in front of my house. Pick up guy used my small blue bin to scoop a bunch of nasty looking liquid and broken glass out of the truck and dumped it on the street in front of my house and then left No sidewalks here so dogs would have to walk through the large area of broken glass and possibly injure their paws. They had to come back and clean it after a complaint was filed but there was still small broken glass left over afterwards. Pic is zoomed in to show glass. Broken glass covered an area prob about 8'x6' You can see the nasty liquid in the plastic top they also dumped out on the ground.
As a professional gardener I take yard waste here quite often. The workers are so pleasant and helpful. There are bays for trash and separate areas for electronics, rocks, paint etc.
I’m a female recycling truck driver that comes to the center to empty my truck daily and the workers at this company are unorganized and unprofessional, their isn’t anybody at the weight entrance to direct where the drivers should go. The workers that direct the truck need to be retrained and closely observed.The workers allow the drivers that they know for a long time to do what ever they want to do.
I am UPSET! Every time the recycling truck comes to pickup our recyclable rubbish - they leave some behind.

My recycle piles up because the people that come to pick it decide if they can take it or not. I have 2 recycling bins one for plastic and another one for paper material. And they still wont take it.. they are giving no choice but to put it in the regular trash and not recycle. Please bring this to someone's attention.
There's a guy who has been directing traffic here for more than a year, he's always got a joke for me when I come to drop stuff off. Dude clearly knows how to have fun at his job, even though he works in waste management.
It’s unclear if these folks are petty or lazy. It’s as if they hate to do their job, collect recyclable items from homes. We might as well trash everything. These folks seem to hate to collect recyclables and then leave an extremely heavy on adhesive paper with the sorriest excuses as to why they choose not to take one’s recyclables. Don’t our taxes pay for this service?
I live in Derwood.I have problem with the recyclin.every week that they come by it seems like they look for an excuse not to take your recycling materials.like if there is a tiny peice of in your plastic, they will refuse to take your plastic, all because i told the truck drive not to be speeding in residential area specially in reverse.
They skipped my bins yesterday so I'm throwing all of my recyclables in the trash. They routinely leave my bins in my driveway when everyone else on my street gets their bins placed by the mailbox. Seriously, everything goes in the trash now and they can manually sort it at the dump if they prefer that to taking my bins. Wish i could give a negative star.
Everyone has to be aware this place exists! You can dispose of various kinds of waste here and be confident that it gets disposed safely. They will take metal, electronics, paint and other hazardous materials and bulk trash. Every thing has separate sections and as you drive in you can ask one of the employees if you are not sure
#GreatPeople. From the time you’re at the entrance / Checking in. To Leaving / Checking out...👌🏽👊🏽. Nothing but Exceptional Service given... Fairly Organized Place. Good peoples.
