I've been hauling big plastic bags of empty aluminum cans to the Cohen Brothers location on Ridge…read moreAvenue in Pleasant Ridge for longer than I can remember. I use transparent plastic bags, generally making a run after I've filled five of them - the max I can fit in my car at one time. I've always been impressed with how friendly and helpful the guys are (they are all guys in the recycling area) despite their *strictly functional* and amenity-free [*translation: dirty, grungy and often too hot or too cold] work area and the cashier in the little trailer (nearly always female) is extremely pleasant as she slides under the thick glass pane, the cash you've earned for what you've brought in. Aluminum scrap prices (all other metal scrap in general) fluctuates widely so I never know how much I'm going to make, but it's generally enough to pay for my gas and part of my lunch. Besides, I'd rather get the cash myself than give it away to the guys we *pay* monthly for curbside garbage and recycling pickup!

Butler County offers free recycling for Butler County residents. So I stopped by to drop off some…read morestuff that has been accumulating in my garage for years. It was a lot of work getting it in my car but the guys there unloaded it all which was pretty great! They were really nice about it, too. If you're from the Hamilton area, Cohen in Hamilton is in the Champion Mill on the East Side by the Black Street Bridge. You enter right by the bridge. I drove by the entrance. Don't be like me. Turn by the bridge. There's a big Cohen sign. It turns out there are Cohen Recycling places in tons of cities. It's really useful to know where it's safe to take your old computers, TVs and cell phones. ((There's a complete list of what they do and don't take on their website.) You can drop off computers and televisions at no-charge if you're a Butler County resident! (Or maybe your county has a similar program.) Currently it's on these dates: When: Tuesday & Thursday 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Saturday - 8:30 a.m. - 11:30 p.m. Cohen Hamilton: 105 Black St. (Cohen Middletown: - 3120 S. Verity Pkwy.)

We had a great experience with them. They came, take a look at our items, give us a price…read more(reasonable for the amount they were taking) and gone to work right away. They had to take out an old treadmill from our basement, up the stairs through a small hallway and they did it without scratching anything! They were nice and good with our dogs also. We will use them again for sure. Thank you

They did a fine job of removing the few items we needed junked. Expensive for the 15 minutes total…read moreof work and time spent at our home. $401. We were supposed to get an estimate but never received one. They showed up for the job and that's what was charged for the small amount of items removed and small amount of time that was needed for the job. Also - do you ever wonder how they have so many reviews or that the workers are almost always named? Mostly all on the big search engine. It's because they pull up the review page on their own device and tell you to write the review - right then and there in your driveway - after running your credit card on the device, that just looks like their personal cell phone. That's exactly what they did to my husband. Also made him take a picture of them to use in the review.

The last time that I was there, I think that I was cheated. I'm sure that I had more cans than…read morethey said that I had. They didn't even put my cans on the conveyor belt. The guy just went back into the office and came out and said that I only had 60 pounds but I'm pretty sure I had to 100 pounds. I will never go back there again . I have been going there for years, but never again.

Went this past Saturday and was surprised to find that they only had the dumpsters up on the hill…read moreopen even though the building was open and a couple of lazy butt men just sitting/standing around doing nothing! Um.. what are they getting paid to do? Visit? Cause if that's the case I'll work for the transfer station too. I'd love to get paid to do nothing like those bums. Do you know how freaking aggravating it is wait in a freaking line to dump your trash while watching these grown butt men do nothing? You're in a hurry and they are laughing and goofing off. Why are they even there? Our tax dollars go to their paychecks and they are doing nothing. If I knew who to contact about this, I would. Cause this needs to change. Either someone needs to talk to them and tell them to get to work or let them go and hire people who'll actual work! What is going on? People shouldn't have to go out of country to get good, quick service. They should be able to get it in their own county. But as of right now you can't do that in Miami Co. They have a bunch of lazy bum men working there. And it's just some of the men. It's not this way every Saturday. Only certain Saturday's. Whoever is in charge of the Transfer Station needs to get their head out of their butts and straighten some guys up or get new ones who will actually work.

Ok, I have to start this by saying it's a smelly place, at least the trash side is. It manages…read moregarbage and smells that way. Trash: to drop off trash, start by stopping on the scale. It's $5 for the first 1000 lbs. you'll need to state how you plan to pay and then your given a key card. Next, they will tell you where to drop off your trash, there are a number of options depending on what you might have. Once that is completed, you proceed back to the scale (outgoing side) and hand them the key card. Easy cheesy. Recycling: you can recycle here too as they have a drop center here too. We have recycling pick up at home so we don't use most of this but we do occasionally drop off cardboard boxes. You can also recycle plastic, paper, aluminum and glass. (Ceramic plates are not glass, don't mix that in.) Bike trail: if you watch as you drive in, just before the gate you'll see a paved trail. That's the Miami Valley Recreation Trail - the same bike trail that goes from Piqua to Cincinnati.
