Looking for plastics recycling in Huntington, WV?

[RoseMead]

Well, I was, and I've found that apparently only one place here accepts plastic. It's Allied Waste (formerly BFI). They accept #1 and #2 plastics only.

Since it took me a while to round up this information, I thought I'd share and save others some time. Also, if anyone knows of any other place in the Huntington area that accepts plastics for recycling, please feel free to post that here, too. We have several places locally that accept metal, including cans, for recycling, but plastic seems to be another matter altogether.

2. Thanks :)

I checked with the city sanitary board, and they directed me to one of the several places here that recycle metals. A lady at one of them said the only place that recycles plastic here is Allied Waste. There may be other places they don't know about, however.

they told me they'll take any recyclables, including plastic and metal.
