If you have a lot of metal when you first enter you will stick to your right because you will drive over the area that says " Truck Scale" they will prompt you when to move onto the scale. They weigh your truck and by looking right they give you a green light to go ahead. After you get the green light you drive towards the back where you unload all your metal. Once your done you will go back to the truck scale and weigh your truck without the metal. After your done you will park anywhere get off and stand in line at the cashier so they can give you a check for the amount of your metal. Now if you selling cans/ scrap stuff that isn't as large you' would drive in get off and then get asstaince that way but since we had large metal pieces our process was different. It is a crazy little process but nonetheless an experience to understand.

Absolutely horrible company to deal with. Disorganized staff which usually stems down from management. STAY AWAY from them. I called to start service with them on Jan 29th. Was told that my bins would be delivered on the next service day. Which for my area was supposedly Tuesday for trash Friday for recycling. Tuesday February 5th comes and no trash bin. I called republic and the CSR says that my service is on Wednesdays for trash Fridays for recycling with recycling taking place on alternating weeks. Friday the 8th comes and I get my recycling bin but not the trash bin. I call republic and they tell me "your trash bin is coming on the next service day which is Tuesday". To which I say "you mean Wednesday right". They say "no Tuesday". At this point I'm seriously thinking twice about who I'm dealing with. Is this a professional company? I get the trash bin on Monday. Set it out on Tuesday February 12 only to find it full when I got back home. I call republic again "my trash hasn't been picked up" to which they say "your pick up day is Wednesdays for both trash and recycling. Recycling is every other Wednesday or this week." I'm pretty irritated at this point and tell the CSR that I was told Tuesdays and Fridays to which she responds "I'm sorry they told you that but your pick ups are on Wednesdays". So I prepare for the next day. I set out the recycling bin and the trash bin on Tuesday night. When I get back home I find the trash bin empty and the recycling bin full. Yet another phone call to republic services. During the call I say "I was told that my pick up day was Wednesday for both trash and recycling, and that this Wednesday was the recycling day. My trash has been picked up but not my recycling" to which they respond "oh your recycling is not scheduled until next week". That was the end for me. I slept on it just to make sure my mind was clear. I cancelled service the next day February 14th. They told me that the bins would be picked up on the next service day which were Wednesday the 20th and March 1st. So now we're back to the Wednesday Friday schedule. Which I told the other CSR "my pick ups were on Wednesdays." She said "yeah, Wednesday and Friday". LOL, you can't make this stuff up. So I have to wait 2 weeks to get the bins picked up. Meanwhile the new company I'm with was willing to start service the very next day even before dropping their bins off. They came when they said they would and even offered to use republics bins in the meantime. Now THAT'S customer service. So republic picks up the trash bin on Wednesday February 20th and that leaves the recycling for March 1st. On February 27th I arrive home to find TWO NEW republic bins in front of my house! I'm furious at this point. What the hell is going on?! I call republic and tell them to come and pick up their un requested bins, TODAY. I get transferred to 3 different people who make it obvious that they do not communicate with each other. The last girl (Marilyn) was trying to set up a new service. I had to immediately interrupt "NO NO NO, I've already cancelled service. You dropped off two new bins for no reason and haven't even picked the last bin". So now I have a total of 5 bins on my property. Even the exit process with republic has been nothing but a circus. Completely unprofessional and unreliable. How they're still in business is a mystery to me. I had them for less than a month. If they so much as hint at billing me for their non service I've got a letter the the FTC and the Attorney general at the ready. read more
