OK everyone, Here is another super review I'm doing of Clayton Ward your not so typical recycling…read morecenter here in Salem. This is mainly a family owned and operated business or facility. I find this place is very unique but very odd in some of its practices with recycling but all I can say is it gets the job done very well. Been coming here so many times over the years to get rid of some of my extra yard clippings / branches or even some recycling items for some extra cash in my pocket. They seem by far the most reasonable and low cost on dumping my loads and give out some real good cash for my recyclables like paper or cardboard. I'm going to say this is one of the best and most oriented type recycling places in town which is by far easy to say because they will work with you to help with your heavier items if in need. The employees seem very friendly and always eager to help you which is a plus overall in the customer service area. I would say, You can't go wrong coming here and this facility deserve 5-stars overall because of their duty of keeping the streets clean and help keep back yards looking like better. P.S. Need to give that Hot Rod a break and pay him a little more $$$ for his good work towards your business!!! Share a little, give a little more. :)

Went to check on it and realized the amount was off. Call them they said they disconnected service and there was proof for that on their email to which I double checked. There was nothing there and I even sent it back to the manager which they said they would reinstate my service. Yet garbage day came and went. They did not pick up my garbage now. I still have all this garbage in my garbage can even though they said they would pick it up. It's funny that they can tell you whatever you wanna hear and there's nothing you can do about it. I think somebody needs to be held accountable for their mistakes, but yet the customer is the one being punished.

However, there have been too many issues with them not picking up the trash, a service that I pay good money for, for them to be worth the $$$. Also, they are absolutely impossible to get a hold of. I have spent hours trying to reach a customer service person for very simple request. A big issue with Republic Services is that their website doesn't list specific phone numbers for specific customer service concerns, so everybody gets roadblocked trying to ring the same number and then get transferred. Their messaging "chat line" is just AI, but you can reach a real person through it. However, the real person just copies and pastes preformatted replies and rarely provides helpful information. When I am actually able to reach a representative, they are very nice and helpful, but it is such a pain to reach them in the first place.

No info on any platform. No phone number that does anything meaningful, and if you are asking the AI about billing, it just hangs up on you. Now me any dozens of other people that I saw there, have no idea when to come back, if they'll be open, or what the heck we're gonna do with a load of trash. There isn't even a customer support tab to complain on. Do you want people dumping in the woods, cuz that's how you get people dumping in the woods.

The hatch was locked, so rather than require a full car detail, I headed to the South side and hit a wall yet again. Why post a sign with holiday hours if the door is locked? Had I not spent my paycheck on presents, I would've considered leaving them for someone else to cash in, but 3rd times a charm! I may have had to shove them in, but I was no longer running around with green bags in my car like a little elf! Sometimes I think the people running this place pour all the leftovers into a tank and sip on it throughout the day. They're certainly not into improving the process or making it easy to recycle! How am I supposed to go green if you have me running all over town?!
