A month ago, our garbage bin disappeared. Called WM and they told us that probably fell inside the truck during the pickup. No problem, they will deliver a new one next week. 4 calls later, still no garbage bin. Apparently we are not getting one until October! It is really frustrating, garbage in the summer smells really bad after a couple of days, this situation is bizarre. How is that the biggest garbage company in the USA doesn’t have garbage bins?

Yet again, waste management fails to pick up our recycling can. Finally leaving a review after at least the fourth time this year that it has happened. When you call to try and speak to an actual person, no answer and a full voicemail box- top notch service indeed for top dollar paid. I wish there were other options up here, but like internet- we are a slave to the monopoly.

Customer service is located out of state. Problems you might have with service is never solved because the local Nevada County manager is not available. Be ready to be frustrated

All I got to say is "this recycling center ' suck. The guy i had was really mean and rude from the start. I had everything ready for him to check out my recycling. He check and said in rude tone. U have to check for plastic. So I did and he walk away. I told him I'm disabled person and I didn't know laws or rule's.. I haven't recycled in long time . So I didn't know. The guy didn't help me at all. Even when I ask for it . He just walk the other way. When I had everything good. He check and did not talk to me and thew me my money at me. I will not go back and ill fine another recycling center. I never had problems here. Been coming here for over 6 years and never had problems.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

What is the redemption amount for aluminum cans?

Kathy McCluskey | Sep 17, 2019
JJ “JoJo” Madina | Sep 16, 2020

$1.65 per pound cans, $1.38 per pound plastic , glass is weighed but each items bottle CRV is .5 cents each large is .10 cents beach. You can google the price of all 3 daily to find the current rates in California. Now that the only 2 places in our county to do recycling is Waste management Mc Courtney & North San Juan (3rd Thursday of the monty ONLY) PREPARE TO WAIT HOURS. 1st timers plastic her to have all lids removed from bottles. Glass is seperated by Color or they will may you less if not. So pack a lunch & lots of water. If you pull up and youre wondering your wait time? Far right lane is recycling, count the cars in line ahead of you & then Xs that by 10. 10 trucks X 10 minutes = 1 hour. I drove to Yuba City this week to do mine and did my shopping too. They still have recycling at grocery stores. Auburn also has recycling centers. I would rather be driving than sitting 3 hours and then leave to the it another day. BYPASS OUR COUNTY & PLAN ON OUT OF AREA RECYCLING!
