City offers this phone number for recycling but they don't have a phone. I've called waste management 6 times and can't get hold of any one who can answer my questions. The mayor doesn't care about its residents who are tax payers trying to be good environmental citizens ; she's only interested in building Livonia empire with developers contributing to her pockets. Disgraceful.
Sign posted outside the drop off area says they open at 7:30 M-F, not 7 as Gmaps says, I waited outside until around 7:50 (11/23/23) and they gates were still closed and locked. An employee for a different department saw me waiting and came up to tell me they don't usually open on time as the people in charge of the drop off are busy doing other things. Terrible management on the city's part.
When the location is actually open it's real easy to get in, drop off your items, and get out.
Only the recycling center is open Monday through Friday. The dump is only open Friday and Saturday. This is incredibly frustrating and confusing for residents. You need to update the website to reflect this.
It pretty quick in and out yoy dump it they just show you where and you have to be a livonia resident to dump it there. Cash only which kinda sucks. But overall experience 4 out of 5 for what it is.
Not marked very well - Turn south just east of the Schoolcraft College sign. They've got a place for batteries, old oil and radiator fluid, but no paint! Feels good when you recycle correctly.
It seems that they close at or before the sun sets, which has been getting earlier and earlier lately (mid-November, after daylight savings time). I have gone a couple times to find that it was closed even though it was within the posted hours on here (GoogleMaps). It was also very difficult to find, even in the daylight! Lol. They really need to have better signage. Otherwise, it’s quite convenient to have a place to bring larger stuff that the recycling truck will pass by entirely if you have it in your bin! Welp!
I can't count the number of times I have loaded up to come here only to find out they're closed when I get there. UPDATE YOUR WEBSITE!! YOU ARE NOT OPEN MONDAY-FRIDAY so STOP advertising to everyone that you are!
It was a bit confusing at first, the sign seemed to point to a locked gate. When I called the city, they clarified the location for me, I was able to drop an entire car full of flattened cardboard boxes into their walk in dumpster. VERY convenient.
