Shelby County Recycling Center

The convenience of having the recycling center is a 5 star, however, the convenience is quickly lost with their payment processing system. Too many people are unable to make it work. There are so many cost effective ways to fix this issue and that would increase the overall experience to a 5 star rating across the board.

Picked up a load of plastic in a 53’ dry van. It’s tight and not much room for a semi. But not really difficult to back in to the dock if you blind side in. Fairly simple to get in and out. You can get turned around and back in the normal way with some wiggling, but much easier to just pull up and blindside into the dock. The people working there are really nice and helpful also.

Seems to be a well run facility run by the county. Definitely busy this morning. Facility was clean with clear instructions posted. If you don't get your work done on Saturday before 3, you'll have to wait because they are closed on Sunday and Monday.

Great facility! Absolutely love having this facility in Shelby County. The good: cheap alternative to trash service. They accept most anything. Keeps trash off the county roads. Ease of access. Plenty of space. The bad: they need a different or new card reader system very bad. Never a time I go there, someone is having trouble with scanning their card to pay. Need more flexible hours. They close at 3:00 when most people are at work until 5:00. They are open on Saturdays but closed on Mondays. Seems like staff could be spaced out to cover Saturday and Monday. However, I don't know their full operations and how many staff they need to run the operation each day. Overall we love having this place.
