    They don't pay good because of dumb rules and the customer service is terrible. Don't come here if you want your money stolen.

    For many years, I've done my recycling at a recycling center deep in Poway, but it's not conveniently located to where I live. Today, I tried Green-Go Recycling for the first time, which probably is as far as the other place I go, but it's mainly freeway and surface streets to get there. I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit and will definitely visit again based on my positive experience. Green-Go is located in Escondido where I took the 15 North freeway and exited off of 9th Ave/Auto Parkway. If you're familiar with where the Target shopping center is located, Green-Go is within close proximity. There is an abundant amount of parking for you to empty your recyclables. For a recycling center, it was clean. I thought it was well organized and completely understandable on what you needed to do to turn over your recyclables to their employees. I was impressed with the customer service from Green-Go's employees from the gentleman who answered my question about what bins to grab, to the young man who helped me with my recycling assortment, and finally to the kind young lady who paid me. My other recycling center opens at 9am, so I was happy about Green-Go opening at 8:30am. I made sure to get there early to beat the rush and I was glad I did, but I was told on Saturdays, it's packed early in the morning. All the different bins you need are neatly organized. I grabbed the blue bins with wheels for my plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and miscellaneous plastics. Once I was done filling them, I rolled them to the customer friendly young man to have them weighed. Once he was done, he provided me with a receipt to take around the corner of the building to get paid. I felt like what I got for what I recycled was comparable to my other location I've used for years. This entire process from start to finish was fast and seamless. The Poway recycling center isn't as spacious as Green-Go and it's kind of out of the way. I had an awesome experience from the large parking area, the memorable customer service, and the expedient process. I believe I've found my go to recycling center.

    Needed to get rid of a lot of clutter I had accumulated so I decided to rent a dumpster (like the…read moreones you see at apartment complexes). Quanita at EDCO was AMAZING. She answered all my questions (I said I needed to think about what was the best service/company to fit my needs), and kept me informed by email about booking, delivery and pick up. I rented it for a week for $310 but it was so hot that week I only worked in the morning going through boxes and throwing all the things I now didn't need, so I decided to rent for another week - it was only an extra $5/day! I ended up extending another 2 days (it was a holiday weekend) because there was still space in the dumpster to get rid of clutter in my attic and a broken chair! The dumpster has a plastic lid but I used 3 bicycle locks roped together to keep the lid secure in case someone else in my neighborhood decided to use it! I had it parked in my driveway which had a slight slope but the guy who deliver it found some cut off wood in my garage to secure it from rolling away and secured it by putting them under the four wheels at angles. My room is now clutter free and it was great dealing with EDCO and their staff! If you want to get rid of clutter I highly recommend hiring a dumpster from EDCO.

THey have WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE. I WENT ONLINE TO GET SERVICE on, THE WEBSITE. THATS HOW YOU HAVE TO START, after the third time, they finally called to confirm it. When they called me, I had some other questions and decided not to get the service and told them to cancel everything. And then I was out of the country for a few months and when I got back, I had a bill for two months of service. Ùwhen I called them they said no have to pay. I said, but I never got the service and I didn't use it. They said no you still have to pay it. Then she put me on hold and said that the person I talked to said I didn't cancel the service. Mind you this is four months later. At this company, the customer is always wrong and they don't care about you at all. This company is so behind the times and backwards. WHY WOULD A COMPANY MAKE YOU PAY FOR A SERVICE YOU NEVER GOT T OR USED? They are totally rude and greedy and go after every dime they can get. WE ARE PRETTY MUCH FORCED TO USE THEM IN SAN MARCOS, I'M MOVING AT SAN MARCOS AS SOON AS I SELL MY HOUSE AND I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN. THEY ARE CROOKS AND THEY WON'T LISTEN TO REASON AND THERE'S NO APPEAL PROCESS AND IT'S TOTALLY RIDICULOUS THAT THE PLACES IN BUSINESS BECAUSE THEY'RE REALLY SHADY. THEY DONT CARE ABOUT CUSTOMERS AT ALL
