AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS If you move to or are in an area…read morewhere you have competing waste haulers, simply avoid Republic. We had them in Sherman (Springfield area), Illinois and my wife and I agree they were probably the worst service we EVER had, of any company. Besides charging exorbitant prices, they raise prices substantially without any prior notice. The drivers were at times wreckless. It was not uncommon for them to tip the bins into the truck and slam them back on the ground. We watched once when they slammed the bin down so hard, and so rapidly that it fell over and nearly went under the truck. The tire did make contact, but fortunately didn't damage the bin -I'm positive they would have charged me to replace it had it been damaged by their careless driver. The worst though is that Republic engages in what seem like Shady business practices at best, and at worst predatory or even illegal practices. When we called to inform them we would be moving, and gave a date to cancel, they stated that they could not pick up the bins after the final pickup. They informed us that, due to their own anticipated delays, WE would be charged, potentially for several extra weeks of service, even though we would no longer live at the serviced address. Further they indicated that if the new resident did not make the bins available on their undetermined pickup date, we would still be charged. Finally, when my wife and I called separately to argue that the above was unacceptable, and asked to speak with a manager, they continually put us on hold for 20+ minutes, as if just trying to make us go away. After my third time on hold, I asked to talk to a manager, again, but said if I was not connected within 3 minutes I would reach out to the Illinois Attorney General's Office to make a complaint about predatory business practices. Miraculously, I was connected to a manager almost immediately. Finally, while the manager confirmed to me (verbally, so it remains to be seen whether they will still process final charges accordingly) that our service charges would end on our move-out day, they informed me they would charege over $37 per bin to retrieve them. Just be aware, Republic has many ways to over charge, and may continue to try even after you move away.

I did an on line search & found Metech Recycling in Worcester. Luckily Sony has a program with them that waives a drop off fee. The downside is that they don't have pick up.

I weigh all my nonferrous metal on an old school medical scale. It is extremely accurate. I call…read moreahead for pricing every time I do a drop off. Scrap it is usually the highest phone quote. I weighed my 5 gallon bucket empty. It weighs 2 lbs. I added 25.5 lbs. of copper. I have over 500 lbs in stock but I was checking the companies integrity. So, I brought my 27.5 lb bucket in to cash it along with some brass, wire, aluminum ect ect....everything weighed on my medical scale. I was paid for the correct weight on my aluminum only. They compensated on my copper,brass and wire all exactly 3 lbs light. So instead of getting $3.06 per pound it worked out to around $2.60. It was below the lowest of 5 scrap yards that I called on that day. I am very disappointed with Scrap It of Worcester. I'll test them again sometime, but I will have my ducks in a row to pursue legal action if they pull that crap on me again. It's hard work and very unfair for the business to short change their customers. End of tune. Thanks for reading

If you can make it to the person working the cash register near the exit scale they are very courteous and good communicators. But be forewarned, you get what you pay for. Entire parking lot - if you can call it that - is all filled with massive sink holes that fill with water in the rain and turn the entire area into a muddy no-man's land. Workers directing traffic are extremely disorganized, often yelling at me in Spanish and giving awkward hand gestures. I'm pretty sure one of them was expecting me to drive my rented Uhaul over a pile of loose garbage, which was littered everywhere by the way. Not to mention they always try to stop me when I'm leaving to tell me to go back to the weigh scale and I have to show them my receipt.

College Hunks was by far the most responsive and informative of all the companies we called. They were able to confirm and schedule an appointment for first thing in the morning the next day and gave us an approximate rate quote. We were just glad that they could confirm such a quick appointment. The morning of the appointment, they communicated prior to arriving and arrived on time. The two gentlemen were very pleasant and thorough in telling us all of the information we needed to know and confirming the cost. They were also very fast and efficient at hauling all of the items away. I love that they said most of the items were going to be donated, if possible. And it was only thrown away as a last resort. Fantastic service, great work, and super fast turnaround with great communication the entire time. I'd highly recommend this College Hunks location and would certainly turn to this company again for any hauling and moving needs in the future.
