So a couple of friends and I had to dispose of two 26' truckloads of damaged furniture last week…read more We rented a box truck, loaded it up, and headed out on a voyage to this great unknown literal wasteland. The entry signage could be a little larger and more conspicuous, but perhaps a bright, flashing neon monolith broadcasting "DUMP HERE" migh be misconstued in all kinds of ways in the Big Easy. After passing up the more reserved and understated entrance, and making the requisite u-turns to make our way back, we found ourselves in a short queue of trucks looking to likewise loosen their loads. The line was short and moved efficiently for something run by the city. We did note that it was "cash only" and that there was prevalent "no smoking" signage, which we found odd due to the fact that a huge nasty landfill seemed like the perfect venue for smokers to puff away without bothering anyone else. The people staffing the truck queue were quite friendly. We only found out that they don't take televisions or mattresses upon inspection of our load, but such impermissible contraband only constituted a small percentage of what we were disposing and we were simply asked not to deposit those items at the site. So it turned out that for a mere $20 per truckload, we were treated to some exemplary seagull and crane watching, a really cool monster equipment show consisting of heavy duty construction vehicles crushing unfathomable quantities of oversized garbage, some spectacular elevated views of the New Orleans Central Business District from a hilltop created from vast quantitites of other people's waste, and a free workout hurling all of the items packed into our truck into a giant pile over the edge of a small hill on a steamy July day in New Orleans. All in all, it was an immensely pleasurable experience and the place didn't smell anywhere near as bad as some of the moldy furniture of which we were disposing. Between us, I'm sure me and my friends burned more than 1,000 calories! If you ever have the opportunity to venture here, I highly recommend it. You just might want to squeeze your trip here in prior to consuming any huge meals.

I love the idea of recycling & Richard's gets it done for me at my place of employment…read more This company, one of two, service the area where I am employed & I find that they do a good job picking up the trash & recyclables. I've had to call to remind once or twice in the beginning when we first started to recycle, but since then, they've been on it... Doing a great job. Mr Clayton, Ms Troy, Ms Linda (I think that's the other dispatcher's name) do a wonderful job picking up our trash & recyclables. If I have to call in, Mr Clayton is sure to follow-up to ensure the job is completed properly.

I gave one star here because there is no half star…read more My trash pickup was scheduled for Saturday so I put my trash can out to the curb on Friday night. Saturday morning the Richard's truck goes up my street but instead of picking up the trash on one side of the street like they've done for years the driver decided to get in the turn lane and have his workers pickup on both sides of the street. But sure enough they bypass my house and do not pick up my trash. So I called their phone number and after a few tries ( their phone rings 4 times and then ends the call ) I finally get someone to answer. I told her about the missed pick up and she says she will look at the truck's GPS and return my call. I never heard back from her and my trash never got picked up. This is totally unacceptable. How the heck do the workers not see my trash can at the curb? Plus this is not the first time this has happened. Our rates keep going up yet their service gets worse. Picking up trash is not rocket science, there is no excuse for missing a resident's trash pick up. I also wonder if I'm the only one this has happened to, I'm willing to bet there have been many others. It sure seems like after getting their big contract from the city, there is no concern to provide quality service. They have their money and now they let the chips fall where they may. Maybe our city council should reconsider who to hire next time their contract runs out. Again, there is NO excuse for missing a residents curbside pick up.

This review reflects the boards members and the manager, Jasmine of The Green Project. On a…read moreSaturday of February 28, I visited The Green Project, a salvage store facility in New Orleans where all items are donated. I've been a customer for over 5-years and have made many donations as well as many purchases. I intended to buy a pallet of flooring; I gave my credit card to the cashier to pay for the flooring; I made a hasty decision because I was leaving town in a few days, then I changed my mind. On Sunday, the following day the stored was closed, I made contact with one of the stores workers by the name of Jerome. I told him I decided not to buy the flooring and requested my credit card be credited back to me for the $1980. On Monday I called and asked if I needed to bring my card to the store for the 1980 refund. I spoke to the Manager by the name of Jasmine; she informed me that they don't give refunds. Of course, I thought that was ridicules because I hadn't even removed anything from the store and proceeded to call the credit card company and file a claim for the $1980 to be refunded. Credit One gave me a temporary refund, I left town a few days later, when I returned, I still didn't think there was a problem until May 6, 2026, the day my bank reversed the credit claim, and I owed my creditor $1980. Since then, I've made attempt after another trying to recover those funds and I have not been successful. At this time my credit account is past due, and I refuse to pay for something I did not receive. The Green project sold the flooring to someone else. The manager Jasmine told my creditor that I had picked up the flooring and also told them there was a large, posted sign stating, "no refund policy", but this is not true, there was no sign at all posted. The Green Project knows very well I did not pick up the flooring, and they should've simply refunded my card. Basically, this is theft.

The Green project is a must for any DIY, creative maker, home improvement peoples or…read morevintage/historic home owner. This multiroom warehouse offers a plethora of bits and bobs from donated and gathered home improvement wares. One time I picked up an old door, an old timey facet head and some hinges. From these super economical finds, I was able to fabricate a garden gate, using the faucet as a creative spin on a traditional doorknob or latch. I love it. Recently, I eye spied, a partially used tub of tile adhesive and several random tiles. They'd be the perfect solution with someone with a tiny bathroom or counter top that needed sprucing up. You can find doors, windows, screen, light fixtures, tiles, wood, paint, and a whole host of parts that you can't pick up at any big box store. Think of the green project like a thrift store for your house or creative endeavor. Be patient and diligent, as it can be hit or miss.

They always go above and beyond to help their customers, even when it's not something that benefits them directly. Sometimes the advice alone is exactly what a customer needs, and they don't hesitate to help. I buy cars from auctions, and sometimes I don't get to look at them first. I recently ended up with a car that had a bad motor, which put me in a real bind. I reached out to Hansel at the wrecking yard, and he was able to assist me with a motor. Even though I didn't make any profit off the car, I was able to break even, and everything checked out perfectly. After replacing the motor, the car had no issues and runs great.
