I Came Here On Purpose...and They Blew It!…read more With gas pushing $6 per gallon, I decided to explore a closer scrap yard option instead of driving all the way to Kent. So I came to The Recycling Depot deliberately -- on purpose -- to compare their prices against other yards in the Seattle area. I left knowing one thing for certain: they don't know what fair pricing looks like. They paid me $0.03/lb for steel. That's right -- three cents. My load was 700 lbs of steel, and they handed me $21.00 for it. That same steel would've been worth around $42 elsewhere (or more depending on the yard). Add in stainless, aluminum, and brass, and my total ticket came to $31.25. Laughable. For comparison, Binford Metal Recycling in Kent would've paid me double on steel alone. That's $21 straight out of my pocket they basically stole -- and that's just one metal. The difference on a full load like mine? Easily $50-$60. Real money. Real loss. And the worst part? No transparency. No explanation. Just: weighed it, printed it, paid you, next. If you don't know scrap prices, you'll get taken. If you do, you'll never return. They failed the test. I came prepared, and they got exposed. I won't be back -- and neither should you!

I have been a Recology customer on Mercer Island for years, and the service has become…read moreunacceptable. Recology failed to pick up our recycling for THREE consecutive collection cycles. We continued paying for service while our recycling accumulated for weeks. This is not the first time we have had missed-collection problems with Recology, either. After I finally submitted a formal complaint and demanded a refund for the service they failed to provide, Recology offered a $20 credit. Twenty dollars does not come close to addressing three consecutive missed pickups, the inconvenience of storing weeks of accumulated recycling, or the fact that a customer should not have to repeatedly chase a utility company simply to receive the basic service for which they are paying. The most frustrating part is the lack of accountability. Missing one pickup can happen. Missing three consecutive recycling collections is a systemic service failure. If Recology expects customers to pay their bills in full and on time, customers should reasonably expect Recology to actually perform the services it charges for. Very disappointing service and an inadequate response to a legitimate complaint.

I am a retired landscape professional. I remember when Cedar Grove was widely considered the gold…read morestandard. Over the years I've literally used thousands of yards of their fine dark compost and recommended their products to countless people. Not sure what happened, but, man have they gone downhill. I recently had 11 yards of their dark ground compost blown onto my landscape beds. I was sick when, after the job, I looked and there were fine bits of hard plastic, clear plastic wrap and other garbage all over my yard that had come with the compost. Last month I called them and asked them what happened. Was it a bad batch? Were they aware and were changing their procedures? Was it not actually their product? I gave them the name of my vendor and the date they would have purchased it. The lady I spoke with sounded very earnest and very concerned and took my name and number and promised to investigate and get back to me. At the time I felt hopeful that Cedar Grove was the company I remembered and not the company I have since read about in lots of awful reviews. Welp, that hope was just dashed. I just called back, and asked some questions, trying to find the lady I'd spoken with in June. This time it did not go well. This person was not interested in figuring out who I'd spoken with, was not interested in asking around to see if my prior complaint had been investigated, and was definitely not interested in doing anything about my concerns. I kept telling her all I wanted was to find out if my complaint had been looked into and if they'd found out if there had been a bad batch and if so, what actions they were taking to improve their practices. Alternately, I suggested, she could find out if they had looked into the info I had given the prior lady on my vendor to confirm if they had, indeed, purchased Cedar Grove product on the date I had provided her. She kept insisting I needed to give her that info all over again, while also insisting that since I hadn't purchased the product from here there was nothing they could do about it. I kept telling her I had already suggested two things they could do about it. She told me I was being rude. I told her she wasn't listening to me. She then hung up on me. Now, I'm thinking that Cedar Grove should just start composting their own customer service, as it's garbage.

I happened to lose my direction driving to MCS Recycling which has almost an exact street address as Eastmont Transfer Station but at opposite end; "W" instead of "E" street designator (7201 E Marginal Way). Upon driving to this station, I parked then walked up the ramp to knock on the office for verification & help. There was a young lady working in the office and her name is Savanna. Upon learning of my problems of having a malfunctioned phone/GPS using Waze for direction, Savanna quickly showed me the directions to get to MCS Recycling. Just to make sure I would not forget her instructions, Savanna also printed out a paper copy for me to take with me! She helped me regardless of whether I was a customer of her business or not! I can't say enough good things about Savanna but wanted to share to the public of how nice Savanna was to me and it says great thing about Eastmont Transfer Station management regarding the quality and attitude of the people that they hired to represent them days in days out! Thank you Savanna & Eastmont Transfer Station management for your very kind help!! Skip
