They said they would pick up some furniture for me but they didn't and then denied that they said they would, so now I will have to pay someone else to haul it away (and it will cost more now because it has been sitting out for over a week and it has rained twice since then). more

And I am excited about that! I live in an apartment, which obviously doesn't give an opportunity to recycle anything, so I needed to find a place to take my cans/bottles. Since it is nearly impossible to find a center that will recycle those in Champaign, I was soo happy to find out about Illini Recycling. They will pay you a little for the aluminum cans, but none for the plastic bottles. Which is fine for me, since I'm not in it for the big bucks. At least they take them!! I think the only problem I have is that they are only open M-F 11-2. Which makes it very hard for all of us that work M-F 8-5. =(\r But, the location is easy to get to, by the mall. The employees are really nice & friendly too. So it's just a good experience overall when I go there! Pros: Actually recycles pop cans & plastic bottles!! Cons: Only open M-F 11am-2pm more
