Email next day, will be in touch tomorrow. The email quoted three weeks in the future. I need big things gone do it don't hurt myself with my limited ability to move around moving boxes. Wrote back that was not good enough. Woman phoned me as yelled and then when she finished I try to say my piece and she hung up. I was a great believer in this group. Idolized President Carter for starting it but they are not kind as they say. Now my date for pick up is this Friday but they want everything outside. I live in a basement suit. What do you think will happen? Hod only knows. Oh yeah another email was sr t saying a four week wait could be arranged by the young woman who hung up on me. What a charmer. I chose to ignore it.

All I have to say about George's Ditching is Great price. Great work. Great people…read more Okay, I might have a little more to add... First let me start with the owners Dennis and Rocky - sons of the founder (George). These guys were raised right. They really understand the value of customer service. When I called and spoke to their very friendly office receptionist, both brothers (owners) were at my door within a few hours. They quickly assessed my drainage situation, and were very fair when it came to pricing. But their service goes a lot further than a good price. Great communication skills. I really liked these guys, and I was completely upfront with them regarding the challenges of my job/drainage project. You see, I had just laid a bunch of new concrete next to the house, and I didn't want that tampered with. Not only that, his guys would have to hand dig around a gas line I had running to my garage. I think they appreciated my candour. Rather than trying to hit me up for extra cash, or make a big deal about the situation, they quickly assessed all of the challenges I was throwing at them and calmly explained how they intended to overcome them. We were off to a great start. They suggested we get started the next week, and all of the paper work and permits were quickly put in place, without me having to lift a finger. These guys run a VERY professional operation. When the site foreman, Rick, showed up the day of the job I was even more reassured I had made the right choice going with George's ditching. This guy was truly awesome. Very skilled with a backhoe, and he treated my property with the same level of respect as if he was working on his own house. Every now and then, I would ask the 3-4 guys working on my sewer line replacement a question, and they were all very respectful and happy to answer any questions or concerns I had. Now here's the best part. THESE GUYS ARE INCREDIBLY EFFICIENT! I can't stress how impressed I was with how quickly they were able to locate and replace my new sewer line. They had anticipated that it was a two day job, but they were completely done within 7 hours - all in less than one day. And that's with all my nit-picky requirements! If you're not familiar with the "new" latest technique they use to replace a sewer line, I'll provide you a brief primer on what I learned/discovered. First of all, they no longer have to dig a deep trench across your entire yard. Really! They just dig a small (3'X3' hole) on either end and use a hydraulic system to insert a new strong PVC replacement. Owners Dennis and Rocky even brought a sample with them on their first visit. I digress, anyhow back to Rick the site foreman. Rick was extremely talented with how to strategically dig the required holes to meet my requirements, and do as little damage as possible to my landscaping. Then after the pipe was replaced they took great care to return the clay/dirt, and packed it down well. When they were all done, Rick went over sweeping up my new concrete with a broom. How's that for a complete job. I only wish there was a way to give these guys a 6/5. I have no hesitation to highly recommend them for any ditching/sewer line job. Good people.

For those not familiar with eco stations, most things you bring in you don't get charged. Only of it's things they can't recycle or if it is plain garbage. For my case I didn't pay anything and can't good it wasn't going into the landfill. Friendly staff at this location and they all will ask enough questions to help get a person to the right areas/assist with unloading. Bins are decently spaced out for good flow of traffic and ease to pull up. Bin area and surrounding lot was well cleared of snow. The main centre yesterday was operating with one bay (#2) and still had numerous staff on hand to help unload and sort. As I was driving in, I noticed some great examples of upcycled Christmas cheer and I'm kicking myself for not taking more photos of the creative things like the tire Christmas tree. I do want to warn yelpers that this location has a very subtle entrance (you see a very clear large sign for the eco station but not at the entrance only at the curb along the street driving up to the actual entrance and less clear sign positioned further back indicating the entrance of the eco station roadway). It oddly has a much longer road than most to enter winding around the 1/2 the facility (assuming that's in order to help with summer higher traffic flow, as I've seen other stations back up with vehicles waiting on the main streets before but I mention this as one you turn in there's no getting back out until the official exit). I don't mind that bit of extra driving and as I was one of the few there, it was quick but I found it odd that a city facility doesn't have the road cleared within its fences but only the yard area of the bins. So definitely make sure you have winter tires to make it in and out of this facility area if you go during the colder months of the year. I also want to add that I didn't know there was a reuse centre at this location. Unfortunately I didn't know about it until exiting (when taking the photo), so I didn't ask about operation hours nor did staff mention if it was even open or that it was even there. Maybe it has different operating hours at the moment or is closed in winter? Maybe it's like the other reuse centres and not open yet? Who knows during the pandemic, as things can change so much in just a week. I'll be sure to investigate further on my next visit and report back.

It's an experience that makes me realize how privileged I am to be an Edmontonian!! *sniff* Anyhow, this Eco Station is a part of a futuristic mecca where conscientious citizens drop off recyclable, hazardous and/or reusable materials for little to no cost, cuz that's how we roll. Last time we dropped off a BBQ and picked up a patio chair. I also get the sense that this is a place for young people to get work experience and build their CVs. I am very happy my municipal taxes pay for a service like this. There's a Reuse centre onsite as well.

Since this is the first review for this place, I'll make it a little longer. So I and my family…read morehave been shopping for a great place to park our summer toys, and one name that kept popping up was Jimmy's RV Storage. So fun fact, there is no Jimmy working there, but it's actually a legacy name for the late father who once owned this RV Parking. We had some things that needed to be checked in order to find the right RV storage place. 1. It had to be close to Edmonton - Why drive an hour in the opposite direction from where you are going to go 2. It had to have easy access - Driving back roads in the dark on farmland isn't fun, only to find out the place is closed 3. It has to have solid security - I paid good money for my stuff, and I'd like to keep it in good condition 4. Price has to be reasonable - No point paying big bucks for something you only use for a limited time. 5. Staff on site for help and security. 6. Lots that are actually nice and graded After shopping around, Jimmy's RV was the best choice for us. It's just off of yellow head highway, so when we are coming back to town, it's just one quick turn-off. They have staff during working hours, which monitor security, answer questions, and can provide help and supplies. After hours, there is staff close by and you have Card Access and 2 Gates to pass through. The Security here is over the top, with over a dozen high-resolution cameras covering the storage area. Last time I stopped by it looked like they were putting in high-powered lighting as well, not sure when that will be completed (I don't think any other lot would have this). The lot itself is well managed, and graded, so going in and out no matter the season is great. Part of the reason I'm sharing all of this, is I am constantly blown away by the team that works here. Recently when I went to get my RV out, the engine wouldn't turn, and I had a flat. The team on site helped in every way they could including helping me boost my engine, inflating my tire, and providing help to the closest location to where I can get both checked out. I think this type of kindness and service deserves attention. :)
