BARC is always great - we've had so many things we were unsure of recycling and they always cheerfully accept it. We also love the fact that all of our plastic bags cereal box liners etc. can go to them for FREE! We've got stacks of grocery bags full of stuff that used to go straight to the landfill. Keep it up BARC!

All was good until I was unexpectedly billed an extra couple hundred dollars several weeks after the dumpster was picked up do to weight restrictions that I was never made aware of. Not before or after was I made aware of the extra charge. I just happened to check my account and saw the extra charge. I called to dispute and that is when I decided not to use them anymore.
