When I disputed the bill, saying that they never delivered the promised service, they came after me with lawyers. I ended up paying, but will never use them again. Stay far away from these guys, they are cheaper than the other guys in the area for residential trash, but in this case, you really do get what you pay for. If they had at least tried to work with me, I would have given them a good review, but they just didn't care, I was just one more account number on their ledger. I do not recommend these people.

The entrance is easy to miss on Robin Hood Road across from the Diamond (I've never seen the Boulevard entrance open as the gates are always closed). There are several recycling receptacles but they tend to fill up pretty quickly; however, I've always been able to squeeze in my weekly pile-up. This is a convenient self-service for apartment dwellers, especially since it's open seven days per week from 7am to dusk. They do close the gate after that time.

So why the five star rating? They pay good money for your scrap metal and it's relatively quick and easy. I've been here several times over the years. My wife saves all our aluminum cans (crushed and in large trash bags) and other metal scraps. On my most recent visit I had half a dozen or so large trash bags of crushed aluminum cans and some miscellaneous aluminum pieces that netted me about $30. On my previous trip I had cans and some old gutters which got me $44. Okay, you're not going to get rich on this but it makes a difference. The whole experience is pretty quick and painless as it usually takes me about an hour to load the truck, drive to recycling center, unload, get paid and return home. Not a bad payout for minimal effort. The yard is set back from S. Military Hwy. in Chesapeake just east of the Gilmerton Bridge. After you turn off S. Military into the business you will be mostly driving on dirt so don't head over there after a fresh wash job on your truck. Pull up on the scales and give the attendant your name then head into the yard. Make sure you are wearing a face mask or they won't let you in as they have COVID protocols in place. If you aren't familiar be sure to ask the attendant what to do. The attendant will ask you what type of scrap you have then direct you to the appropriate area where you will have to wait for another employee to assist you. It's all pretty quick and painless. You unload your scrap as directed, fear not as they will help you if you need or desire assistance. After you've unloaded just head to the inside scale area as directed where they will weigh your scrap then direct you into the office where you will show the attendant your ID then receive your cash. From there just get back into your vehicle and exit the yard. It's just that easy. All the employees I've dealt with on my visits have been pleasant and very helpful so you don't have to worry about not knowing what to do when you get there. I think it's great to have this facility available where we can get rid of some scrap and get a few dollars. Thank you Elizabeth River Recycling for making it so easy.

I've only ever called one plumber in Richmond to come back for repeat business, and that call was…read moremade tonight to Harry, that really should be just about enough of a review. But in case you want more details, I've had bad luck with plumbers. I get overcharged and jerked around... I called Harry because, well, he had one review on Yelp, and it wasn't a bad one and he isn't somebody I had called before. I don't think I was the nicest guy to him on the phone (not outright rude) but I did tell him I didn't really trust plumbers in the area based on my previous experiences. He told me his story, and it's basically that he worked for the big companies for years, knew their tactics, didn't like it, and wanted to do his job for an honest price. He went to my house and unclogged my kitchen sink. Guess what, when he called me to tell me how much it cost, it was in line with what he told me when I first called him. He didn't jack the price up on me, he didn't rip me off, he was honest. He fixed the problem, he charged me what he said he would charge, and there were no additional fees. Tonight I called him about another issue. Like I said, he's the first plumber that's gotten my repeat business and he will continue to get my business as long as I still own my house in Richmond, which I hope not to for much longer, and am planning on putting it on the market this spring, if anybody is interested... just kidding, sort of... no, not really, I am not kidding, I'm ready to sell it. I can't be a long distance landlord anymore. But enough about me, if you need a good plumber, call Harry, seriously.

He squeezed me in his schedule and updated me the day of service multiple times concerning his arrival. He is honest, kind, professional and VERY knowledgeable! He also has the most reasonable prices I have EVER seen for a plumber. I couldn't give him a higher recommendation. I'm recommending him to everyone in the Harper's mill area where I live. So grateful we found him. Below review from 7/2025 I have never left a 5 star review from only talking to a business owner, but please read on. I left Harry a detailed message about a couple of toilets in my 4 year old home leaking from tank to bowl. I thought maybe the flapper, but when it happened to an upstairs & downstairs toilet around the same time, I panicked & thought it was maybe a plumbing system issue. Harry called me back promptly & let me know right up front that he was fully booked until August. But he also eased my mind by reminding me that the toilets were all put in at the same time, so more than one could have components wearing out at the same time. Since I only had leaking to the bowl, I changed the flappers & now they both work great! Even though he was very busy, he took the time to call me back. Even though he was booked until August, he listened to what I said. Granted he didn't try to diagnose over the phone, but his common sense, honest approach prevented me from calling another company for an emergency that I didn't have. He was right. I had two toilets with faulty equipment at the same time..a coincidence! I would highly recommend Harry; he is busy for a reason. I would schedule with him in the future if I needed a plumber.
