I needed to clean out my garage. I am a senior citizen who's family left her too much stuff to save. So I rented a U-haul. A 10 ft. box van. Managed to get it all loaded up and drove it to the transfer station on Orchard Ave. Lots of folks had the same idea, so when I finally got my turn in the que I was pretty tired! The gal that tells you what the price will be asked me what I had in the truck. I told her that it was garage garbage. She stepped back, squinted at the box and told me that I owed her $245. I was in shock, but didn't know what else I could do. I didn't have the energy to drive it back home and load it all back into my garage. So I paid it with my limited income. I don't believe that this was fair. She didn't look at the load. The last time I took a load to the dump it cost me $30! I will overload my trash carts now. The men who were monitoring and helping the unloading were very nice. I appreciated the tidiness of the place.
Oh, WOW, where to start! I've been a customer for compost for many years. It's a bit hit or miss as it comes from yard debris and occasionally has a bit of plastic in it; but I don't hold that against them (maybe the people that have garbage mixed in with their lawn debris though!) Now that Riverbend is closed, I bring my dump loads and recycling here too. The employees have always been super nice and helpful, the gal at the entrance and the gals in the compost are are my faves! Every time I've asked a question, it has been quickly answered. Their employees seem to really care about the environment and their customers.
