So there I was, my palms sweaty, knees weak, arm heavy, moms spaghetti all over the road, I was hitting the road in frustration. “WHERE, WHERE CAN I DONATE MY CARDBOARD.” Then my prayers were answered, a bearded man with sunglasses put his hand on my shoulder and I looked up. It was like the gates of the garden of Eden were opened. It was recycling heaven, the burden of the weight of the cardboard was taken off of me. For the first time I could breathe, and for the first time in my life, the war was won.
You can buy their blue bags to put your garbage in. $1.50 a bag. I buy the PKG of 5 for $7.50 at the site or the OnCue at Perkins Rd and 14th St (I don't know about the other OnCue stores). Large enough to hold a lot, about 4 to 5 tall kitchen bags.
Plastics 1, 2 and 5 are accepted. Paper is accepted except the slick coupon and gift wrapping paper. Aluminum, tin/steel cans corrugated cardboard, scrap metal, glass (I don't believe window glass is accepted, call to check). They do have small bays to leave yard waste/limbs and junk. TVs, tires, large batteries, automotive oil and cooking oil may or may not have a fee- call or go by to find out.
Cons:
Very inconvenient hours. Staff stands there while they wait for a woman in dress clothes to get in the back of the truck to put the trash on the ground for them. They seem slow to work, but I have a feeling that attitude comes from the top. They will not allow you to bring in a trailer to recycle your empty moving boxes. Hint: drive a little farther down S. Perkins Road. There’s an independent center that will gladly accept your recycling.
Pros:
If you have a truck (again, no trailers), you can dispose of your old mattresses and furniture with a student ID for free. Containers are clearly labeled for drop areas.
4/5 I’m glad the city offers this facility. The clearly-marked areas for different items is helpful. And the staff is helpful and friendly!
Only minor inconvenience: could the hours be extended to another hour in the evening? Getting out of work at 5pm, darting home to scramble pack all the recyclables into my vehicle, and then get there within one hour is sometimes tricky.
Wish I could give 0 stars, rude, turned away because I had a trailer and it was only 6 large items total. I guess I should just leave it on the curb side as an eye sore next time!
The staffs are super annoying. Many items have recycled sign on them, however this facility recycles only a few of them. If by mistake you put in something which they don't particularly recycle, the staffs will be super arrogant and angry with you. They will not listen to you and behave unprofessionally.
The workers there are great! They are always happy and ready to help! The ability to recycle is a blessing now and in a he future and the City of Stillwater is working to do it right! I do miss the satellite centers where a person was able to take items for recycling any time.
I'm very glad the city operates this recycle center. It's always quick and easy to get rid of a load of recyclables here. Many times they have people available to help put stuff in the right bins.
Earth friendly recycling for free!(most items) Environmentally conscious citizens appreciate this avenue for recycling waste. Helpful and friendly empoyees.
