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 Winston-Salem.
  • 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 "Winston-Salem" cover?

Businesses whose address is within about 40 km (25 miles) of central Winston-Salem, so nearby suburbs are included. Each business's own city is shown next to its name.

Something is wrong or missing. How do I report it?
