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!

This was all accumulated on my house remodel project over the last two years and the fenestration part is now done. So, I gathered & cleaned it all up, ready for sale. Note: it's best to remove the weatherstripping, any vinyl stops, steel screws, & caulk to get the higher pay rate. A little paint or dust shouldn't matter much. It came out to 213 lbs. @ .46 a pound. Not too bad. This was will the .03 cent coupon per pound. Max was like .48 a pound (base). Pretty smooth smaller operation (not massive like the south seattle tranfer station) Seemed very fair on the payout. Some other places really try to choke people. Not much of a wait on a Monday morning. It's a little tricky to find, as it's hidden off of west mariginal way, off of 17th then 16th, virtually under the west seattle bridge, just barely in West Seattle. Use your GPS or you might drive past it a couple of times. I'll be back for any other moderate value metals I accumulate. Aluminium cans & scrap pay highest at over a 100 lbs a load. Hope this helps.

0 Stars - what the heck…read more.. We recently moved and Waste Management is apparently our garbage/recycle/yard waste service provider. I called them in March to start the service in May and to have the new bins delivered - all went well until the first scheduled pick up. Bin pick ups are every Thursday with Recycle being every other Thursday. I leave the bins out on Wednesday evening for Thursday morning pick up - on the first pick up, yard waste is picked up but the garbage is missed. I do the chat feature online and they told me that 'your garbage bin was not out, so it was not picked up.' I let them know that it was put out...they offered to do a missed pick up and said the garage would be picked up within 24-48hrs. It is now July 7th, 2026 and every single week for the last 9 weeks either the garbage or recycle is *not* picked up. Every single week for the last 9 weeks i call and let them know that it was missed, ask if this is normal service, ask if my address was not added to their servicing schedule, ask why it was missed, and every time they say 'so sorry, we will make sure they get picked up.' Completely blown away by how horrible this service has been from the start. I dont even want to go to the Waste Management golf tournament in Scottsdale anymore! Still waiting on a supervisor to call me back and it has been 4 business days since i asked to speak with one...losing my mind. Not to mention i have to pay them for not picking up the bins!

Overall nice customer service, always response to my emails within one biz day. When calling,…read morethere's a live person answered the phone within 5 minutes. Much better than expected. I produce way less Trash & Recycle than the average. It usually takes me 1~2 months to fill up my small containers. They gave me the option to have the Trash picked up once a month -- fair. But Recycle Pick Up is every 2 weeks, can NOT be changed. So I have to pay about $13/mo even though my Recycle container is empty, and I only roll it out (for pick up) about once every 6 weeks. So I am being charged for (Recycle) service that I hardly use. Every dollar adds up, especially for a retired elderly. Hope someday soon they will have more flexibility for small household.

Strangely, Yelp was not all that helpful in my search for a company that provided shredding services, so I had to do a little sleuthing! After putting my time into due diligence, one of the places I should have considered right of the bat (since my employer uses them) was one that I considered last - Seadrunar. I had just assumed that they did large businesses, but that is not the case! I gave them a call to get some information on rates and they are very affordable: Half Tote: $15 Full Tote: $25 If you want to witness destruction of paperwork then it is an additional $10*. A full tote is 64 gallons which is equal to seven bankers boxes! I had brought my items down to their recycling center in Georgetown, was told to park over by the loading dock where a person met me with a secured tote. After filling the tote I went back to their office to pay and then I was on my way! In my research for places to shred prices definitely varied, but in the end you are paying for peace of mind and protecting your identity is a good thing, right? Just make sure you do business with someone that is AAA NAID certified! * = If you want to witness destruction on a weekday, you will have to get an appointment before 8 a.m. because their mobile trucks go on their designated runs.

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.

Our garbage bin went missing after a scheduled weekly pickup, and despite calling, following up, and escalating every single day for the past 3 weeks, we still do not have a replacement bin.

We've now spent weeks without proper garbage service because of their failure to resolve a basic issue.
