I had been using JB Salvage for many years, but then discovered Bloomington Iron & Metal while…read moreonline, so I decided to give them a try. From the very start they were very friendly, professional and helpful. The whole process was quick, and rather high tech too, with an impressive software system. The strong young fella that was helping me also gave me many informative tips, and helped me identify a pile of mystery metal that I had as aluminum, giving me fair value for it as well. I found out that they also accept electronics scrap, which -- in my surplus scientific equipment business -- is very good to know. I'd highly recommend Bloomington Iron & Metal, and will continue to use them from now on.

There are a few sayings in life that tend to be based in truth. One is "you get what you pay for"…read more In my case that means by saving a bit on trash I'm paying to wake up on a weekly basis around 6:30 AM because they just HAVE to pick up the trash so damn early. Have I contacted them multiple times? Yes. And in all of that time, there is maybe a span of a few months where the route is switched up and then they're back here way too early. The other company might cost more, but at least their trucks don't rumble through until at least 7 AM. If I had the budget I'd switch just based on that. I support local as often as I can, but when local businesses treat me like crap, it's tough to support them. Aside from that, they're what you'd expect from a trash company.

I did trash Valet So you don't wanna move the trash can too far away from where the trashcan was placed before or people will complain because they go crazy. Especially in apartment complexes. Anyways in housing complexes When you leave, a trash can directly behind vehicles. When they weren't there to begin with. It gets frustrating after....oh I don't know the seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth time right? I have complained in the past, three maybe four times In the past six years. But now for whatever reason it's every week that I have to call. Speak to the very nice lady and tell her that their drivers don't know how to read I guess.? I've resulted to name calling in this review I am sorry... The problem started back up in September and it is now December. And nothing has changed.. Their drivers are incompetent. I have Left multiple messages With ava's waste removal complaining that their Truck drivers keep leaving the trash can directly behind my truck in my driveway. You might say, why are you leaving it directly behind your truck in your driveway right? I am not ! we are purposefully leaving it almost on our neighbors property fifteen feet away to the left . Or if it's on a nice day the night before then we bring it out 20 feet the opposite way. BUT It'll still end up directly behind my truck which is in my driveway... The nice lady who answers the phone told me last time that There's a note in the computer that pops up when the trash driver comes to my house to pick up our trash. Apparently they don't know how to read. I'm over it. I never had this issue with any other trash service. The only reason I left republic was because I was getting a discount for combining my trash and recycling but then I found out that they were putting recycling in the same truck as the trash. So we're paying extra money for recycling. But it's going to the same place as the trash and not getting separated blah, blah, whatever. So then we started with Ava's and they were doing well. In a whole year they would leave the trash can behind our truck once. Now it is every single week. I don't know if anyone knows this, but to replace A trash can costs a lot of money. They just won't throw you a new trashcan for free if you run it over because of their incompetence- They will charge you. I don't understand why I am paying for a service that I have to call and complain about every week.. Again, the ladies who answer the phone are excellent. They're very polite, They try to help you out any way shape or form they can. But the idiots who are driving the trucks and picking up the trash need to watch a video on how to do their job again. Did I mention how I've gone around my neighborhood to see if it was just my house that they were doing this to? Well it is and I did. Never in a million years did I think i'd be that lady driving around my neighborhood Taking pictures of where my neighbors trash cans were placed. Well guess what? None of them have their trash cans anywhere near their driveway. I'm over it. They couldn't even do it for 1 week after I complained. I'm not going to leave pictures On here because it shows my home. It shows my address and my vehicle. I don't want retaliation from the people who give it. 5 Stars to come to my house and start Messenger with other stuff. Because that stuff happens because people are crazy. Evas has photos because I have sent them photos. Photos of my house and all of my neighbors that have ava's waste removal as their trash service.. And how only my trash can is in my driveway. Nobody else is trash cans anywhere near any of their vehicles or their driveway.

Their trash men won't even roll the can back into it's place, they will even leave it in the middle of your driveway. One time my neighbor left a mattress by her can and they picked it up. I left a plastic bumper by mine and they just kicked it out of the way. So the next week I shoved it in the can and filled it up with trash to make sure they took it. Also, if it snows they don't pick up your trash, but they sure as hell don't give you any money back. Plus the billing cycle is 3 months, but they send the bill a week or two before it's due.We found a new company (Monster, I think) that is HALF the price.

I didn't think much of it as our neighbors are customers; however, later in the day I discovered that both our trash totes were laying on the ground in the driveway and all the bags of trash that had been in them was laying, out of the can, in our driveway. Upon calling the customer service, which was subpar, it appeared the driver started to collect our trash, realized we weren't customers, then dropped it and left. I asked if I could file a complaint as I found it to be disrespectful and unprofessional. I stated I understood that people are human, and it was an honest mistake, however the fact that the trash was left like that was NOT okay. The fact that the driver didn't even bother to knock on the door, leave a note, etc apologizing for the error, was NOT okay. The fact that the customer service rep told me my complaint had too many characters for her to put in her computer was an excuse in my opinion. I asked the rep to have someone call me to discuss the issue and I could provide them with the picture of how the trash and cans were left. She stated she would have someone call me. I specifically told her that if someone would simply call me to address the issue I would not go to BBB or other review sites with the issue, needless to say, I have yet to receive a call.
