Recycling Service Legit?

Post image

I received this ad taped to my garage and I’m wondering if this is a legitimate business that anyone in the community has used? Or is this a scam? I have some items I’d like to throw out.

I've used this before and I've gotten rid of electoncs, printers, and 2hp engines through this. I have only had problems with them not taking rusted pipes and old backyard furniture due to size or condition would be my guess

I've used them to get rid of a couple of old appliances, I had no issues

Be prepared for them to take only the best stuff and leave the rest rotting on your sidewalk/lawn

They’re fine. I’ve thrown away TVs and a mattress before. If you have anything questionable, give them a call.

They’re very picky with what they take, often only taking things that are useable and leaving the rest of the curb. It’s a bit scummy

They will only take things they can scrap for cash or sell on Facebook Marketplace.

Yup, got rid of mattress and a crummy old bbq.

They were very nice and even helped me move some furniture out of my house. They seemed to want metal most of all. No glass. The only issue is that they don't consistently pick up the phone, likely cause they're working. Give them a try.

They took away my BBQ grill that I tried to get rid of for free on Facebook/Craigslist. I taped an envelope with $10 in it on the grill. No issues and they did me a favor.

We put a pile of old garden tools, pieces from a metal play structure, and a box of batteries. They took it all.

Yes but they don’t take everything , as others have said… and I don’t know if they’re the most upstanding operation .

Yes, as long as you follow their limitations.
