I always appreciate this place, but please List that the electronic recycle center opens at 7, not 6. I waited for 10 minutes like and idiot til I saw the sign. Thanks :)

This was my first time going there. Employees are extremely helpful. Even though a sign stated you must unload your own vehicle, an employee brought a cart up to my car and unloaded the television.

They deserve zero stars!! When you can actually get through to someone in customer service they are so rude including anyone in management, they over charge for services they do not render!! My trash has been sitting at the curb going on 3 weeks and still they have not come to pick it up always making up excuses as to why that I have now reached to my township to help and as soon as they collect my trash I am kicking this company to the curb!! Do not request services from them they take your money, and that is the only thing they do on time!! Horrid horrid experience!!

Wanted to charge me 20 extra dollars cause my little load wasn't tarped, nope, that makes no sense at all, if all loads must be tarped fine, turn people away, not charge 20 dollars and it's ok,, when you go in a store it's no shirt no shoe's no service period, not pay me 20 dollars extra and come on in!!! And why do I gotta jump through hoops to pay to get rid of trash, it's trash just like this business!!!!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Douglas Rice | Oct 4, 2019

If you take it to the free household hazardous waste center on Harrisburg Pike, it will go into the paint bin, which is taken to the incinerator and safely combusted. If you put it in the trash, there's a small chance it will end up in the landfill. Worse things have ended up in the landfill, but it's your call.
