Waste Free SLV San Luis Valley Regional Recycling Center

I closed down Waste Free SLV months ago but Facebook won’t let me delete this page. What do I have to do to get them to let me shut it down, post naked pictures on it?

Almost $1600 total for the 6 days I rented the U-Haul for pick up and haul recycling, and about $800 in donations and fees. I am re-evaluating whether I can continue recycling or should just quit...

So, it cost me almost $480 when I took the U-Haul back to Alamosa this a.m. including 466.5 miles @ .79 per mile and 24.95 per day for 2 days, and some people think I make $$$ recycling.
I don't know how much longer I can keep this up

So, I need to borrow $5k to buy a new recycle trailer asap.
Does anybody know anybody that can help me out?

Waste Free SLV accepts appliances for free. The freon must be removed by a certified company who then places a red tag on the item to be recycled. Saguache County Landfill will charge a small fee at the scale house. Their phone number is 719-221-1956
