It's been a few years since my original review, they still get five stars from me. It's a recycling…read morecenter so it's dirty, it's loud, it's busy, it's confusing, they close early (3:45PM), they aren't open weekends, the location can be difficult to get into or out of (depending on traffic), etc... So why the five star rating? They pay good money for your scrap metal and it's relatively quick and easy. I've been here several times over the years. My wife saves all our aluminum cans (crushed and in large trash bags) and other metal scraps. On my most recent visit I had half a dozen or so large trash bags of crushed aluminum cans and some miscellaneous aluminum pieces that netted me about $30. On my previous trip I had cans and some old gutters which got me $44. Okay, you're not going to get rich on this but it makes a difference. The whole experience is pretty quick and painless as it usually takes me about an hour to load the truck, drive to recycling center, unload, get paid and return home. Not a bad payout for minimal effort. The yard is set back from S. Military Hwy. in Chesapeake just east of the Gilmerton Bridge. After you turn off S. Military into the business you will be mostly driving on dirt so don't head over there after a fresh wash job on your truck. Pull up on the scales and give the attendant your name then head into the yard. Make sure you are wearing a face mask or they won't let you in as they have COVID protocols in place. If you aren't familiar be sure to ask the attendant what to do. The attendant will ask you what type of scrap you have then direct you to the appropriate area where you will have to wait for another employee to assist you. It's all pretty quick and painless. You unload your scrap as directed, fear not as they will help you if you need or desire assistance. After you've unloaded just head to the inside scale area as directed where they will weigh your scrap then direct you into the office where you will show the attendant your ID then receive your cash. From there just get back into your vehicle and exit the yard. It's just that easy. All the employees I've dealt with on my visits have been pleasant and very helpful so you don't have to worry about not knowing what to do when you get there. I think it's great to have this facility available where we can get rid of some scrap and get a few dollars. Thank you Elizabeth River Recycling for making it so easy.

Talk about price gouging...they charge us $497 a month for 4 weekly pickups.

I was hung up on 2 times after being on hold (first time 11 minutes and 2nd time 15 minutes). I am disgusted with this company and as soon as I get ahold of someone I will go to another company. They have lost our business.

Hickory Manor decided to hire Waste Management after having a sub par experience with Bay Disposal…read more Waste Management signed a contract providing service to empty 3 dumpsters six days each week. So far, I am not impressed. They failed to empty our dumpsters on a Friday.. failed to show up on Saturday... so we had trash piling up next to the dumpsters. We then had to hire a separate service to clean up the dumpster area before Waste Management would return. This past week, I have had been notified by another resident that the dumpster by them had been emptied recently, yet the dumpster near my residence was completely full! Our property manager contacted them and they claim that our development was serviced... complete lie! We just hired this company. How difficult is it find a reputable disposal service in all of Chesapeake? Maybe my HOA rates might have to be increased to have dependable regular waste disposal.

Here's how it works with them. You sign a 3 year contract with them, at a reasonable price and they…read moreraise the price 25% after a year. You call them and they tell you it's in the fine print that they can do that. Then they tell you they can put you back to the original price if you sign another 3 year contract. But guess what, they will increase the price again after a year. After this happened a second time with a second location of mine I figured out their game. Go with Bay Disposal or another local company that does not play games and pretend to be a "green company". That's a whole other issue...

I called around a few places and even had some folks come out, but the estimates were quite outrageous. Marco called me back within 20 minutes, wanted to understand the scope of the project and told me he could deliver within my budget. I was flabbergasted. NO ONE was this willing to help us. He was a blessing! The team completed our deck removal in 2 (very hot) days. From start to finish, Marco was so understanding, friendly, kind and delivered above and beyond our expectations...and within budget. I recommend his team to anyone who needs services in the area!
