Christian

Christian (1/5 stars, in the last week): One of the most DISGUSTING dumps that I have ever been to in my life and iv been to a lot! The guy that was working the scale was on his phone the whole time completely useless! We asked him in which direction to go and all he did was point because he was so busy with his phone call all of that & they still charge multiple hidden fees including fuel tax & a “convenience fee” nothing was convenient about it and I had to worry about my tires getting popped the whole way around the dump because they don’t maintain the place at all! It would have been so much cheaper for me to simply drive down to Marion Counties dump. I’m not complaining because of the place though it’s simply because of the fact that my load would have cost half the price at any other dump & we would have received actual customer service instead of a teenager on his phone ignoring us & being less helpful than a server at McDonald’s. The hidden fees where shocking & they shouldn’t be charging a dime on convenice because it was all a Risk driving vehicles through this dump.

Lucy Lesser (1/5 stars, 2 months ago): What a scam! They advertise that toilet recycling is $8 on their website. With “fees” it was $31. This is not noted on their website at all. They will charge additional money if you want to pay with a credit card. This is one of 2 places you can recycle a toilet in Pdx and get a receipt to submit to the water company for installing one that is more efficient. The rebate is $50 so they know what they are doing.

Patrick Preble (1/5 stars, a month ago): Stay away from this place. Says cardboard disposal is free on website. It's not. It was 52 dollars. I had at most 40 pounds of cardboard. They scaled me at 140 pounds. I could have taken it to the metro transfer station for less.
