Midwest Recycling Center

Whether it’s at St. Louis Earth Day’s REX (Recycling Extravaganza), an office building collection or an event sponsored by a neighborhood church, I’ve always had an easy time dealing with MRC.
When it comes to personal eCycling services, this company has mastered the collection process.
Their calendar of public events is regularly maintained and the on-​site staff are easy to work with. Once you’ve found an event that’s convenient for you to attend, the process is usually as simple as arriving, handing off the electronic recyclables (whether in working or broken condition) and continuing on with the rest of your day. I haven’t been to an event with a formal check-​in or any other delays. The process takes only as long as it takes you to unload (usually 2 – 3 minutes in my case).
There’s rarely a cost at these public events (the main exception being charges for recycling CRT/​DLP televisions) and most common, household items that plug in or run off of batteries can be accepted, along with exercise equipment, lawn/​garden equipment and appliances. Smoke detectors and light bulbs are among the few items that are not collected.
*Note: The company does operate several full-​time collection sites throughout Missouri and provides business-​to-​business services, but my review focuses on their partnered events aimed at individuals in the community. These events are co-​sponsored with neighborhoods, churches, municipalities, schools and other organizations throughout the Metro region and beyond.
