There are many stores around the city that take cans and bottles for a 5 cent refund. Wegmans, Tops…read moreare just a few of the bigger stores. Recently I noticed a small store located at 471 East Ridge road called "Quick Cans". It is in a little plaza at the 475 plaza. I decided to check it out for a couple of reasons. Quite often when people go to the bigger stores and you have 10 or 15 cans or bottles, you end up waiting for the guy who has 3 grocery bags full. You might get lucky if he lets you first, LOL. I checked this place out and they pay the exact same price as the big places, 5 cents per can or bottle. Instant service, people count your cans and bottles right away and pay! While I was there I saw a variety of people coming in. From the homeowner cashing in a few bags of cans, to landlords-business people coming in with larger loads. I was impressed. If you want to save time I suggest "Quick Cans".

I've been using ROC recycling services for a decade. Recently there have been multiple Sundays…read morethat I walk 1.7 mi (one way) with around 500 piece's and the they're closed. ROC advertises their hours, Sundays being 10a to 4pm. No sign on the door or updated phone recording. Today is Sunday and I'm going to make ONE more trip this morning to return my deposits. Please don't disappoint, it's not easy as a disabled veteran to walk that far with 600 cans.

I have been a private customer of Waste Management for fifteen years since moving out of the city…read moreof Rochester to the suburb of Rush. When we lived in the city, Waste Management was contracted by the city to pick up our trash, too, so essentially I have been a customer for about forty years. For some reason, the company was much better when we lived in the city. For most of the years we have lived in Rush, they have been responsive to our needs and friendly when I had contact with the drivers. In fact a few years back, I was sitting out front, having forgotten it was pick up day, and the driver waited for me to get my trash. However, in the past two years they have missed their pick up more often than in the first twelve years combined. What is more, communication has been terrible. One time they called to say the pick up had been moved from Friday to Monday, so i moved it back down our long driveway, and they came later that day, after I had removed the trash from the street. Recently, they have postponed it by one day for no apparent reason. On the third of July, when everyone else was honoring the 250th of the nation by giving workers off on the 3rd, almost nobody on our street put their trash out, because we knew that they ought to have given the workers the 3rd off and the fourth, but they claim they had trash pick up that day. The should have postponed it until Monday, and moved everyone back a day, giving their workers overtime pay on the following Saturday, the 11th. This week they left a phone message that our trash pick up had been rescheduled for Friday, July 24th, which is our next regularly scheduled pick up date. That is NOT rescheduled in my book; that is FAILURE to complete their contracted obligation, something that has been happening with increasing frequency over the last two or three years. When our family moved to Rush, almost everyone was using Waste Management, so we did the same. I think there are four or five different companies that do trash pick up in Rush. If Waste Management continues the way they have been going, we will be using one of the other companies. The reason I am writing this review here is that they make it really difficult to contact them, and I am hoping they will see this on Yelp.

I dropped off a hospital grade recliner with an all metal frame. The only thing that was wood was the hollowed out press board and foot rest. I was charged with taking back the recliner and picking it up myself. Being that it's a mechanical recliner it was extremely heavy and ultimately I threw my back out. Don't go here there's plenty of other scrap yards.

I feel the only way to stop certain staff from stealing the customers $$$ is for the owner of the business to have one of their family or friends return precounted bottles & see for themselves. I have used this locations for several years. I always appreciated the friendly staff & clean environment. It never occurred to me that certain staff would steal $$$ from customers. If it's happened to me, no doubt it happens throughout the day. I don't want to think of the families that count on that $$$ for desperately needed food, diapers or gas. It's also crazy to think that I've added a TIP each time I've been there, so they have more of my $$$. I no longer go there, I precount my returnables no matter where I go. I've told friends & family to do the same. Unfortunate experience, that's for sure.
