If I could give them no stars I would! I called this business and the automated recording said…read morehours are Mon-Sat 8:30-5:30PM and closed Sunday. I arrive at the location and both gates are open and sign posted in front reads the same hours. So wouldn't a normal person believe the business was open ???? I wasn't the only one that thought this way yet I get there and I'm very rudely told they close at 4:30 and argued with me saying he had no control over what their business sign says or what their phone recording says because according to him both sign in front and phone recording are things the business doesn't control. I'm sorry but I don't think so, you hand painted homemade sign isn't controlled by your business....I call bullshit. I wish I could post a picture to show proof of what I'm saying. A homeless man had seen the same signs on separate visits to the business so he walked over 2 hours to get there in time only to be rudely turned away as well. Oh and it's very bad business to imply that a customer is an idiot because the 2 forms of contact said close at 5:30 but yet the one place not checked said 4:30. My point is 2 out of 3 say one thing and the other a different thing so what are you supposed to take is gospel? I figured the phone recording must be correct but then again I guess I'm just too stupid to think the information a business gives out could possibly be correct.......

I had several people offer to do the task, and settled on a fellow who was supposed to come today (Monday) to take care of it. After the time he was due to be here he let me know he was unable to do it so I had to scramble to find someone else. I found this company Slam Dunk Junk. I gave them a call and spoke with a very nice fellow, Scott who said that they could definitely take care of this for me today!! I sent him pictures of the 'junk' and let him know what the other fellow had quoted me, and he came in right on par with that quote! All along the day, I received updates about when the fellows would be here, when they were enroute and when they had arrived. The fellows that showed up, Connor and Tony, were polite and respectful and got right to work. It took them all of about 30 minutes to clear everything out that I needed removed! It was dark, but they had headlamps on their hats and did a fantastic job!! (they even did this with a stand in truck because their regular truck blew a tire and had to go into the shop!) From start to finish this was a smooth operation, VERY well run and managed and an EXCELLENT value for the cost of the job!! Hands down I will be calling upon them again, when I need stuff hauled off! Oh and after they were done, I received a message thanking me for my business!! Absolutely STELLAR!!

Oof this bottle drop is the prime location that 'everyone' goes to. Expect very long wait times if…read moreyou don't have the green bags to drop off- That is one of the nicest option they have and very convenient, but you don't get your money right away (usually in a day or two). The drop off door is on the side near the entrance. You need your card to open the door (wait three seconds to pull). After I go drop off my cans, I go in and get a box of bags and print some tags. *Usually* there is paper for tags, but if it's busy and they're out, your best bet is to come back later. Your maxed allowed bags to drop off every three months is 15. A nice pro is there usually is security around. I am giving this location low stars because of just how... busy and not so clean it can get. The area is also sketch as it's in a high crime area with business slowly moving away. Line is long outside the door, but only a certain amount can be in. Line also forms pretty early in the AM. Parking is tight. I wish I could give The workers the 5 stars as they are always nice and helpful and I'm thankful they show up. There is also the bottle drop app that is convenient that has your card on it and balance and remaining bags.

She made racist remarks about Mexicans and people of color and even threatened my sister with a year-long ban from entry. The worker next to her witnessed the situation but didn't help. This encounter left my sister upset, and my mom, who is unwell, is worried about her. We deserve respectful treatment regardless of our culture or skin color.

Recycling Adventure:…read more I recently had to clean out my garage and a couple of rooms inside our house in order to prepare to host some visitors from overseas for a couple of weeks this summer. I'd accumulated 20-years of junk! It looked like a job for Extreme Make Over - Home Edition, but without the army of contractors or Sears and Ty Pennington to help. It almost looked like an episode of Oprah about folks who hoard everything! I had all the usual junk that would typically be recyclable curbside, but I had both too much of it for a single curbside load, as well as plenty of 'stuff' that wasn't on the curbside list of recyclables (like block Styrofoam packaging, etc). Of course, some of the stuff I wanted to jettison was perfectly reusable and I didn't want it to simply get tossed (working, but old computer and home electronics stuff, etc). And while some of the stuff qualified as Salvation Army and Goodwill candidates, some didn't. I discovered Portland's Metro Recycling Web-Site and Hot-line and they supplied me with a list of local resources for all the various types of junk that I wanted to recycle, including the block Styrofoam packing material. Besides their hot-line phone number, their web-site has a nifty search feature that taps into their huge database of local recyclers for everything from soup-to-nuts (so-to-speak). http://www.oregonmetro.gov/index.cfm/go/by.web/id=1383 It is a handy service that just works!

I wanted to find someplace that wasn't going to just landfill the stuff. The number Yelp was originally showing was just a number which forwarded to Total Reclaim's Seattle facility but, Portland's Metro Recycling hot-line had the latest info. on Total Reclaim's Portland location. I dropped my Styrofoam at Total Reclaim's drop-off site at 5805 NE Columbia Blvd, two blocks west of NE 60th, and on the north side of Columbia Blvd. Their local phone number is 503-281-1899. Total Reclaim, Inc. accepts all sorts of stuff (computers, home and office electronics, TVs, stereo gear, even some appliances, you name it!) and it all gets 'reclaimed' so none of it ends up in any landfills. So, you can do-the-right-thing, and get rid of that garage full of electronics, appliances, plastics, styrofoam, and fluorescents, all with a short trip to NE Columbia Blvd.!

It's a great place to donate all those things you thought you were gonna use for something or other but never got around to it and now don't want to do it.
