I came to Island County ("the dump") to get rid of a carpet Grandma had when spending a few days…read morewith her. The carpet was large and we were charged a flat rate. We were able to back the car up to the dumpster area and get close enough that there was not too much wrestling to get the carpet into the dumpster. She had some other items she was thinking of getting rid of, such as paint, and when we asked about disposal we learned that oil-based and water-based paints required different disposal procedures. Learned something new on our visit. We went in the morning soon after it opened for the day and it was not too busy, the worker at the entrance where we paid the flat fee was friendly, full of insight, and eager to share what she knew to help out.

If you're looking for a place to dispose of large items household goods yard waste and even…read morehazardous materials this is the place. It was my first time going to a dump around in this area and they're not that easy to find but I came across this one and it is open seven days a week that accepts virtually anything before disposal. It's a little intimidating cuz it's very massive but once you're in they way your vehicle with your disposable Goods they allow you to go back into the area where you get rid of your disposables and then on the way out yeah, the way your vehicle and then they charge you the difference. I had a bunch of stuff from the house several toilets broken mirrors frames and a bunch of other stuff several hundred pounds ended up costing me 30 bucks.

I was picking up a sheet of steal inside the drive through pick up area…read more I was directed forward to stage for loading. while being loaded I noticed I was to close to a hazard that would puncture my tire. I showed the employee the hazard,he then instructed me to back up and stearing clear of the sharp metal. then he directed me forward. this resulted in me hitting the metal puncturing my tire. my next visit I noticed they had widened the area to correct this issue so it would not happen again. they also painted all the puncture points. I gave them a receipt for the damaged tire. they cut me a check for my loss.

My friend went to skagit river steel and recycle today (6-19-24) he took in 980lbs of scrap metal,…read more20lbs shy of a ton. The price on the receipt says $75 and he only got $36.75 for that scrap metal. How is that possible? That's a rip off. That barely covers the gas to drive up there from Camano Island or from anywhere really. How can a company do that to people. I don't recommend going here, go some somewhere else the prices might be better as well as better customer service. Stay away from this place and make the drive further north of you can.

Asking a question about what gets put where results in eye-rolling, followed by a terse explanation and a sigh. They advertise that they recycle electronics. They do not, actually, do that, and told us to just throw our broken 50" flatscreen and laptop "in the trash", even though both contain environmental contaminants. Feckless, dangerously stupid, ignorant of the health of their community and the environment, this is exactly how recycling is done WRONG. Stay away from these people. They have no interest in your safety or the environment. They are the very definition of what it is to be a bad neighbor. Nope nope nope nope.

Incompetent, rude, unhelpful. You can't count on your trash always being picked up, depends on how…read morethe guy feels that day. So I called them to ask why my trash was not picked up. Madison said they didn't know, they'd call me back. They never did. I had to call them the following week and then Madison told me they didn't know what happened and also didn't know why she never called me back. When pressed, Madison started making up lies about a possible weather issue - yeah, that's why they skipped my house (no hill or access issues) and a few others in my neighborhood but managed to collect trash from everyone else. She then refused to send someone to pick up the trash they missed. I had to ask her not to charge me for the service I didn't receive - they were going to still bill me for it! Turns out when she promised to not bill me for the service I didn't receive, she was lying (see last paragraph). Madison then refused to put me through to a supervisor but would relay a message and admitted she wasn't sure if they'd call me back (like she never did). When I asked who was above her supervisors Eric and Andrew, she said it is a company called Waste Connections but refused to give me their contact number, told me to look it up online. After much protesting, she finally looked up the number for me - and gave me a number that directs right back to her office, not even Waste Connections, as she stated. Convenient. Spoke with the "boss" Andrew the next day. He just kept telling me how they are not required to refund me if they didn't pick up. Repeatedly told me they are allowed to bill you even if they don't provide the service. This company is criminal and its employees are unhelpful and rude. Unfortunately if you live on this god forsaken Island, you don't have any choices and are stuck working with losers like this. Everyone here should be unemployed.

I would not recommend Skagit Appliance Recycling based on my experience. Finding the location was…read moreincredibly frustrating. The business was difficult to identify because there was no clear signage, and it appeared to be in front of a regular house, making it hard to know if we were in the right place. When I called for directions, I was hoping for a little more guidance. Instead, the response felt dismissive and wasn't very helpful, which only added to the frustration. Better signage and more customer-friendly communication would make a significant difference for first-time visitors. Even with GPS it was not a clearly marked business.
