THIS REVIEW IS A MUST READ because it has a happy ending! I started this review with 1 star, but, I…read moream ending it with 5 stars. Royal Carting owner, Emil Panichi and his two daughters, Elisa and Evelyn run the management office. Royal Carting donates to local hospitals and colleges, as well as hundreds of local non-profit organizations, including: American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, DARE, Abilities First, Downs Syndrome of the Hudson Valley, Children's Home of Poughkeepsie and DC ARC. Sometimes too many fundraisers make companies lose their way, they become too political. However, behind the scenes at their carting company they are charging $75.00 if a senior citizen needs a new garbage pail. I called up and asked them for a larger garbage pail, no problem, cool I thought, until, they picked up my old garbage pail #65 and they dropped off a larger garbage pail #95 that was filthy dirty, old, stained, smelt like rotten garbage, just disgusting! And, being an Italian like I am, I disinfected it to the best of my ability, but, it was just too far gone, too old, nothing can save this garbage pail. It belongs in a dumpster and laid to rest. I expected a new garbage pail. I expected better from Royal Carting Service Company. I had to call and tell them how I felt about this experience. I called the Royal Carting management office, but they said they only have old garbage pails that they disinfect and give to the customers. That's funny because the one they sent me was extremely disgusting and it smelt like rotten garbage. NO ONE DISINFECTED IT! I thought to myself, ok, everyone is entitled to a bad day, so somebody overlooked what they delivered! I believe in second chances, and I will continue to communicate my dissatisfaction to the management of the company. I was thinking to myself, wow, how do they get away with this with Covid 19, the Monkeypox, etc. Where is the Health Department, or maybe they donate to them too! Who knows, only God knows! AND just the thought of regular germs is a huge concern these days, never mind touching a strangers garbage pail. I thought wow, Royal Carting is exposing the people in Dutchess County to all kinds of Diseases with giving residents old replacement garbage pails. Personally, I keep my garbage pail clean, I put plastic liners in my garbage pails and I disinfect my pails if they get dirty. I respect my garbage men because they work hard! In the past, I have seen maggots in one of my neighbors garbage pails and I almost vomited! Please keep your garbage pails clean! At this point, I just want my old garbage pail back they took to replace it with this filth. I am going to try to enclose pictures of the garbage pail they left at my house. These pictures were taken after I scrubbed and disinfected the garbage pail. It's just disgusting, it belongs in a dumpster! When I called and complained they wanted me to pay $75.00 if I wanted a new one. LOL! Royal Carting's Motto is "Life is messy, we help clean it up!" I have a Motto too, "Action Speaks Louder Than Words!" If, Emil Panichi and his two daughters, Elisa and Evelyn, and their office managers Dawn and Christine think this is the way to treat people in Dutchess County, they should think again because they have lost their way down those dirt roads that paved the way for Emil in the beginning of building his empire Royal Carting Service Company, "Life is messy, we help clean it up!" From one Italian to another, this time, I cleaned up your mess Royal Carting! This review is not about the Garbage men, they work hard! I respect my Garbage men. This review is about the Royal Carting Company and their lack of respect for the community they serve. $75.00 for a clean new garbage pail that should be provided to their customers free. It's not good to become too political, you lose consciousness, what the right thing is to do and have the conviction to do it! I will conclude this review by thanking Emil Panichi and his two daughters, Elisa and Evelyn, and their office managers "Dawn" and Christine for sending me a new garbage pail today! I am extremely grateful to you! Danny, the delivery guy was very nice and helpful. I want to share my favorite saying with you, God's Word, Romans 8:28 King James Version Verse 28  And we know that "all things" work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. Amen. I am thankful that "The Panichi Family" are good people. Barbara

Only polite request I ever reecived was not to show up 5 minutes before they close with a full truck If I have anything that I am not sure about, I go with a sample and ask if they take items like that. As to the review from a few years ago about being yelled at by "rednecks", I can only say that I would have just ignored somebody like that and gone and talked to the boss in the office to tell the guy off. I think these characters are no longer there. Also, complaining about what they pay is useless. They state clearly that everything you bring to them it is just metals, so what an item cost originally or is worth is of no concern. Just ask your self why you are "recycling" ? For me it is not to make money. I don't follow the going rates for metals. I like to do good for the environment and the few bucks you get can be spent at the hot dog place next door:-) It's close to where I work and I am happy to have this place for drop off, instead of putting stuff into regular garbage. May times I am just happy to leave stuff without being paid.

I recently found myself in the happy predicament of having to dispose of a broken air conditioning…read moreunit, which of course meant that I would finally have an excuse to visit the local scrapyard. Yay! Upon arriving at the gate, I expected to be led into a sprawling Hellscape with towering heaps of twisted and shredded metal as far as the eye can see where anything might happen, where I might get lost or chased by feral dogs or a gang of crazed mutants. Turns out, it wasn't really that exciting at all. Just a small lot with a few piles of neatly sorted scrap metal, a garage/office and a scale for weighing out your scrap. I waited in a line of cars for about ten minutes and got 2 bucks for the broken air conditioner. However, it was still pretty cool and I would definitely come back here although I don't really have any scrap metal to sell. Maybe I'll look around my apartment for something made of metal and break it so I have a reason.

(the car is sitting in my driveway so this must have been quit a magic trick) anyway I have been calling this company all week THEY ARE VERY RUDE!! so I finally called today because I needed some answers because they obviously dont check the vin # on the cars they scrap.... anyway I was hung up on, then called back very irritaed demanding answers telling them that I will give them a bad review on line... they said they would call the cops on me for "harassment" because I was calling to find out the status of my car without any answers and they also said they would call the cops because I was "threatening him" by saying I was going to post a bad review. After hearing this I got even more angry saying they need to solve this problem its their fault! the guy on the phone then said to me oooo your feisty are you married?!?!?!?! OMG I still have no answers from them except to call the dmv putting the blame on them. please please please dont ever do business with them... I felt sexually harrased on the phone and talked to horribly and the worst part is they dont check the vin # of cars they scrap which leads me to believe they are dealing with shady people who steal cars. repost repost please and if you need parts or looking for a car do business some place else!
