I got there early. Was able to get on the scales. He weighed the truck and charged me for the minimum load and I didn't have to get back on the scales again
Wowsa! South Oakland Country has an INCREDIBLE treasure and treat for its residents! This place is HUGE and takes just about anything for recycling. The people are helpful but it is very hectic and active so pay attention!
It is very STINKY! Definitely a "garbage" facility.
Looked online and called to get information about what times you can drop off garbage. But could not find anything online their website and no one answer the phone.
Drop off hours are only between 6am-10am. Although conveniently located, they are a little pricey for a small pick up load.
Not a giant fan of the appointment requirement, but I was able to make one online last night, for this morning, and I was able recycle literally an entire SUV full of scrap metal and batteries and cardboard, in only a few minutes. I love that I can do that so easily!
Our family had an outside repast following a funeral. We accumulated so much trash over a 2day timeframe, we couldn't wait for next trash pickup. SOCRRA was very helpful in allowing us to deliver our SUV-full trash. A quick and easy process.
Not flexible for those that work normal hours. Have to schedule two weeks out. At this point it's easier to just dump chemicals down the drain instead of disposing them correctly. Please have more appointments so we can do the right thing.
EDIT: They've added Saturday appointments, it was a painless in an out.
Oakland County residents can recycle all kinds of household items here. They have a commercial shredder for all of your personal papers and also accept just about every other recyclable item. Because of the pandemic entry is currently by appointment only, but normally you can drop off anytime by showing your ID to the guard at the entrance.
For years I have been kindly treated by John who never runs out of patience when I ask repeatedly which items goes where. All the employees are friendly and eager to help. It always look forward to interacting with your staff and doing the right thing for our fragile planet with recyclable items. JSB
It's great that we can set up an appointment and still get recyclables to the right place. Hardly anyone there on the trips I've made. No one using the shredder, so it makes that operation move quickly. Best time to arrange a drop off time is right after 8 am. Most likely will be 2 weeks after that date.
Not only is this an important service to the community, the workers are helpful and informative and the area is kept more tidy that one would expect. The place is always busy, and I would like to see more thought put into a one-way traffic flow for the public and away from the big collection trucks for safety purposes
This is the best recycling place in Michigan that I know of. They accept metal, cardboard boxes, most plastic, electronic devices, and other miscellaneous stuff.
It is extremely organized and pretty clean. The people here are very helpful and very courteous.
Every city in America should have a place like this. I can't wait for it to reopen again.
