Love this service

Easy to use, I can recycle so much more than before. The Sortwell app makes it easy to separate the different plastics.

A resource I wanted!

I've been wanting to do this for over a year. I'm glad I finally jumped in.

Feels good to recycle

For the most part it’s an easy program. It is frustrating to have to literally opt-in for each and every pickup. I mean, I pay for the service, I’ve participated for over 2 years, OF COURSE I want a pickup! Why do I need to tell you, again? When I forget, or it’s inconvenient to log on and opt-in the the coming pickup, or the 4 weeks I’ve scheduled ahead have expired, we don’t get a pickup and the recycling stacks up. Then we get charged for extra bags the next time around. Super frustrating.

WTF

One person told me to put extra bag of multi-layer plastic in the clear plastic bag with the clothing - now today the guy is upset with me for doing that???!!!!
It is NOT clear what clothing goes in which bag!!!
I am NOT happy today!
