Fix the attitude problem. How is it Yonkers residents pay an exorbitant amount of taxes including property taxes at that for us not to bring in trash because of a lack of vehicle. I have a small car and borrowed my uncles pick up truck to bring in the garbage. We are both Yonkers residents and I have to pay yearly property taxes that are ridiculous to be DENIED access just because of the simple fact that the car isn't registered under my address. I explained that my small car couldn't support the garbage I have so I needed a bigger vehicle. The supervisor was there and my uncle who was driving was inquiring about the situation who had an accent was being spoken down to by the super. He felt the need to act racist and degrading by making side comments about not understanding Spanish. Someone let that man know he lives in NY a diverse state and much more diverse city. Ignorant and unprofessional. I would not recommend anyone to come here at all especially if your Hispanic. They'll attempt to make you feel stupid and disrespected. Disgusting as the trash they take. Good to know as a Yonkers TAX PAYER we have 0 benefits.

I went here a while back and they were very rude even when I was super polite the whole time. One of the guys made several dumb comments and stated "I know you're not a resident here". He told me I had to weigh the car. The person by the gate checked my ID and registration which of course matches. The guy sees me back in the dump disposing my garabe and he looked surprised to see me inside the place unloading. Why work at a place where you are miserable?

The Tall Man was very kind yet quiet. He even let me take his photo and everything mentioned something about interdimensional beings and needing metal for "Sentinels" went over my head must be industry lingo. Oh yeah they readily take food scraps too!
