0 stars. Tri-Ced failed to pick up my recycling, claiming it was inaccessible because a car was…read moreparked in front of the bin. This claim is completely unacceptable. The recycling bin was touching the street and placed directly next to two other cans that were serviced without issue by Waste Management. The driver got off the truck and serviced my address, proving accessibility was not the problem. I am located on a busy street and have no control over who parks or where people park. Expecting residents to manage street parking to accommodate Tri-Ced's convenience is unreasonable. When I called to resolve this, I was met with dismissive and poor customer service and was again told the bins were "inaccessible," despite clear evidence to the contrary. This is a failure in service, accountability, and customer support. Tri-Ced needs to own this mistake and correct it, not deflect responsibility with excuses.

Not only was he cursing at me, but he also called me a "dick," which is completely unacceptable behavior for someone running a business. To make matters worse, I was instructed to unload and move my own pallet of batteries for recycling. After I had already done the work, I was suddenly told I couldn't continue because I was wearing Birkenstocks. If that was actually a safety policy, one of the employees could have easily told me before I started unloading instead of waiting until I was finished. When I was told I had to wait in my car, I simply walked over to my vehicle, and the owner continued insulting me by calling me a "dick" as I left. Customer service and basic professionalism were completely absent. There are plenty of other recycling businesses that treat their customers with respect. I would definitely recommend taking your business elsewhere.

Evergreen Environmental is without a doubt the worst waste collection service I have ever used, a…read morephenomenon that is not limited to just this location, the branch in Fresno is also terrible. I have had multiple instances where I have called in an order for waste pickup, and I am scheduled for several days later. When the day they are supposed to arrive comes and passes, no truck arrives. I call and ask what the problem is, and they tell me they have no record of an order for my company. Finally after about the fourth time I told them to take a hike, and canceled my pickup with them, and got another company to take care of it. Even after I told them to get lost, they still haunted me. I canceled our pickup appointment, but they came anyways, and 2 days before the actual day was scheduled. So now I have them picking up the waste, and the new company shows up the same day, and there is nothing for them to pickup, after I made special arrangements for them to coem out and take care of it! Not a good way to start a business relationship with a company! I seriously cannot convey how terrible this company is, there are no words that have been invented yet that allow me to express how much I have hated doing business with Evergreen. The only reason we started using them is because they had a contract with a company we bought oil from, and we got our pickup for free as a result. Even the benefit of having free pickup wasn't worth it, it has been a terrible experience from start to finish. If you need waste oil or other items picked up, I suggest you look elsewhere. I cannot think of a single reason why anyone should do business with Evergreen, nor can I think of a single redeeming quality about this poorly run company, with perhaps some of the worst customer support I have ever experienced. Stay away unless you enjoy pain and suffering being inflicted upon you at regular intervals!
