Do you have broken electronics with swollen batteries? Do not use them. Wipe your data and bring them here for free recycling. Do not think of dumping them in trash as they are a fire hazard. Came here on a Saturday morning there was no line.
Stopped by yesterday to drop off a couple things (computers, old phones, batteries, fluorescent lights). The man was easygoing and kind. The process was easy. It’s nice to have this service because certain stuff just really shouldn’t be buried in a landfill.
Would much rather go to the recycling center on Eisenhower for cardboard. I’m appalled my city tax dollars pay for this. The employees appeared as if they were homeless and had an absolutely abysmal customer service; one essentially tried to fight me for asking a question and a follow up because I didn’t understand him. The city should be ashamed.
Quick and simple. Drop off old hazardous waste, glass, or regular recycling. Stay in car for hazardous items and drive through gate. Giant dumpsters for everything else.
The surly older gentleman that works here needs some customer service training. I am from Pennsylvania and was driving my visually impaired sister that lives in Alexandria to drop off some electronics for recycling. I had her hold her VA state issued ID up to the passenger side window and he kept yelling at me to show my driver's license. I kept pointing to her but he kept yelling at me to show my license. Eventually I had her had the ID to me and showed it to him. He gave me a strange look and proceeded to let me unload the items.
Super easy! Pull up during business hours and they will bring a cart to your vehicle. In my case, I just point them to the back of the truck and they have it unloaded by the time I've filled out the visitor log. I've made four visits now, and only had to wait for another customer to finish once.
