How we rank
- Score: Google rating, weighted by number of reviews. Every business starts from a neutral 4.0 and its reviews move the score, so a rating backed by few reviews counts for less.
- To be ranked: at least 10 Google reviews, listed as a recycling business on Google, and located within about 40 km of central Philadelphia.
- Badges never change a score. USDOT registration and our verified-listing badge are shown for information. Many good small businesses aren't in those registries.
- No paid placement. Claiming a listing is free and adds details, not points.

Frequently asked
How is this list ranked?
By each business's Google rating, adjusted for how many reviews it has: every business starts from a neutral 4.0, and its real reviews pull the score up or down, so a rating from a handful of reviews counts for less than one backed by hundreds. That way a 4.9 from 10 reviews doesn't outrank a 4.7 from 400. Businesses need at least 10 Google reviews to be ranked.
Can a business pay to rank higher?
No. Claiming a listing (free) adds a logo, description and a verified-listing badge, but no points. Badges such as USDOT registration are shown for information and never change a score. The only way to move up is more and better customer reviews.
Which area does "Philadelphia" cover?
Businesses whose address is within about 40 km (25 miles) of central Philadelphia, so nearby suburbs are included. Each business's own city is shown next to its name.
