They are always willing to educate you on how you can make more money recycling various metals, they have a frequent donor card, the rates are always fair, & if you see an item of interest onsite - they will make you a deal if you want to purchase it.

I used to use Waste Connections but feel that their business practices are predatory, as they doubled bills frequently which I believe is an attempt to mess over elderly people or those with auto pay.

I saved 60% by switching over, they're local, the lady on the phone was super nice, I just so happened to meet the owner this morning and he's a top notch guy.

Unfortunately, my experience at this business was frustrating and unpleasant.

This is the only dump I've ever been to in my 37 years on planet Earth that didn't have me wanting to puke while being there. I don't know what their methods are but to me that's amazing! I've been a few times but I had to dispose my old bed recently which caused me to make an appearance there. The dump is actually in Creedmoor (It says Buda on Yelp) & FM 1327 is a quiet & pleasant little road to travel along. The nature preserve surrounding the landfill is also pleasant to look at & is kind of cool that the landfill is trying to make good use of the land surrounding it. The overall cost of disposing my old bed + large boxes left behind from the new bed ended up being around $67. That with the $45 U-Haul pickup rental + gas was still cheaper than paying the furniture store's $189 disposal fee. The employees I dealt with were friendly, had good attitudes, & from an outsider's perspective they seemed to be well taken care of by the company they work for.

Their single‑operator trucks will not move a bin if a car is nearby, even on public streets where homeowners have no control. The only remedies offered are insufficient: a couple of extra bags next week or paying double for a return trip. This is not customer service -- it's a penalty for their own cost‑cutting. Speaking with a supervisor confirmed they have no flexibility or willingness to help. Very disappointing.
