Polmadie Recycling Centre

my son went to dump a dishwasher after work tonight between 18:00 - 19:00. He hired a van with a driver. When he arrived at Polmadie recycling, IT WAS SHUT! So he had to unload the dishwasher from the van when he returned home and will have to rehire the van and upload again. How the Council expects people to recycle if opening of the site is unpredictable???

Disappointing. The signage is almost non existent. I had old bedding that I wanted to recycle. Hand written note on bins said sealed bags only. Spoke to an employee and was told they didn't really do textile recycling. Ultimately I put all of it in general household waste as advised. Not good enough! In this day and age everything should be recycled if possible and all councils should make sure they have proper facilities for this.Was back there today (02/08) 2 staff there and the girl there could not have been more helpful. I will up the rating to 3, but still pretty disorganised.

Excellent place to recycle all your household items , engine and cooking oil car batteries etc .It's really neat and tidy and well organized, staff members on site are ready to help .

Google says open until 8pm. Arrived 6.30pm to find home made sign stating closed at 5.45pm, wasted journey and a boot full of rubbish

Staff are very helpful! Excellent place to recycle as everything is labelled and staff will help you find correct skip for your recycling

Just ended up with a bill of £124 for new tyre after visit to Polmadie recycling, glass and allsorts including the screw we drove over while 4 members of staff stood having a chat and a laugh not good enough !!

This place is a total joke and people working there need get some proper training how to work in public places.Came today to recycle cardboard boxes.Just because my car have roof box on the roof it was few inches to high for hight restriction barrier. Fair enough. I thought just to park on the side (not obstructing anyone) and walk in to put stuff in designated places. Been stoped by a rude man, saying if my car can’t fit under the barriers I can’t use this place.Explained to him, it’s not a van, it’s not a commercial vehicle, it is only because roof box.He said rules are rules and advised me to take off the roof box. Get car in. Throw my cardboard boxes in. Get out and put back roof box on my car. It was 20m between car and a skip !!! Can’t be more ridiculous, can it be ?No sense at all and no explanation whatsoever provided by this “gentleman”.We asked if there is a pedestrian access and yes there is. Ok, so I’ve moved my car to other street. Parked in parking space and we decided to carry everything on the foot.Been basically jumped on at pedestrians gate shouted we can’t get ours stuff in because they seen us coming in the car so we are NOT PEDESTRIANS!!! There was already 3 employees of Glasgow City Council with proper attitude showing their “power” to stop us recycle some cardboard.Been threatened they going to call police and record my number plates so I can get fine for fly tipping?! What we wanted is to put stuff in designated places, and been stopped by some people what were acting like they were waiting all day just for somebody to start a nonsense fight with.I’m hoping all their cameras recording audio as well, so maybe some management will look at that situation. Hope they will hear clear and well when one women employee after arguing with me threatened me of smashing my head :)Great effort and work for the planet hiring people like this Glasgow City Council !

First time I have visited here.I was clearing out my brother-in-law's house and it took me 2 trips with my trailer. The staff explained that you were allowed 2 visits in a six month period. That was fine. They were also extremely helpful in pointing me in the right direction to the various skips.They were a credit to Glasgow city council. Top marks to all your staff. Just a pity I can't use my trailer for another six months.

Small older guy with glasses, Iain, very helpful. Good customer service and explained how each bay works as well as providing opening times and extremely friendly. Glasgow needs more people like Iain

Went today (21st July) and it was a really positive experience. Bit of a queue but it went in fairly quickly. Staff are just great! Of course you need proof of address, it's for Glaswegians! Other Councils have their own. Keep up the good work Polmadie.x
