In addition to my original review, I had the experience of using the garbage/dump portion of the…read morewaste management facility today. After dropping off some household chemicals, motor oil, and antifreeze at the Hazohouse, I headed up to the garbage drop off. I was nervous at first because I thought it was going to be a huge process to drop off my stuff but you just drive in past the dog park and head up to the first weight station. Wait for your turn and then drive up to the booth and have your drivers license or ID ready. They will scan your ID and then give you a card with a barcode on it which you need to hold onto so you can show it at the booth at the exit. Then you wait for an open parking stall. Most people backed into the stalls because it's easier to push your refuse over the rails down into the dump container below. It's actually pretty organized. I thought it was going to be a huge landfill that you have to find a spot and where the least amount of trash is and toss your stuff. It wasn't like that at all. I had a Uhaul 10ft truck and I'm actually glad the rails that prevent you from failing into the container are there because they help you get the leverage you need to toss large objects without hurling yourself into the container as well. Still...be safe and don't toss with too much force and make sure your footing is good so you don't slip. Kids have to stay within your vehicle for safety reasons. They have a separate section for yard waste and large appliances, so look for the signage. I kind of hated to use the dump to toss my furniture but after calling Goodwill, Value Village, and Habitat for Humanity and all of them saying they weren't currently taking furniture or being too selective on what furniture they'd take, I decided to just get rid of it in one go. I'm glad I did because the process was easy. Once you're done tossing your junk, head to the exit, give the pay booth your barcode card and pay. The receipt they give you even shows your starting weight versus your ending weight so you know what you're paying for. $64 for two full U-Haul loads of furniture, trash, bedding, and household items. I felt that was reasonable and saved me a lot of time. I also found out that you can recycle styrofoam down by the Hazohouse along with all the other items I listed in my original review.

What a DUMP. We…read moreTacomans are fortunate to have a place where all of our garbage, refuse, waste, trash, etc. can be magically whisked away out of sight and mind for a pittance. Of course, it really doesn't go away at all-- just somewhere else. But that's all that really matters when you're taking a load of crap to the dump, right? It is, of course, much better to 'reduce, reuse, and recycle', but sometimes you just have a bunch of shit to get rid of and this is the most expedient (and legal) way to do it. $10 for up to 400 lbs if you're a resident. The process is pretty straightforward: your vehicle is weighed at the entrance and you are handed a coded card. Follow the painted yellow lines and spoken/pointed directions to a place within the huge transfer station building where you can offload your crap onto the concrete floor. Your vehicle is weighed again on the way out; pay for the difference. Seems like this place is often very busy, and sometimes the wait can seem kind of ridiculous-- might help if they were actually operating all of the entry/exit booths that are available. The staff here can vary between friendly and helpful to downright surly. Whatever; it's a dump.

I previously had a great experience with American Shredding thanks to Brandon -- he was…read moreprofessional, efficient, and made the entire process seamless. Because of that, I always thought I'd continue using their services. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was the complete opposite. Brandon is no longer with the company, and the new technician who came out not only attempted to overcharge us but also expected us to help with the work. It was disappointing, to say the least, and based on this experience, I won't be using American Shredding again.

They entice you with misleading claims (e.g. Free pickups for businesses) only to let those promises go unfulfilled by indicating that home-based businesses don't qualify, and aren't worthy of their time and attention. Newsflash: A larger and larger portion of the American work force is shifting to the Gig Economy meaning a very large portion of these businesses will be home-based. I would recommend using Green PC, or one of the other local e-cyclers in the area.
