We always used to go to Beartown Redemption Center for years and were always satisfied customers…read moreuntil recently... We operate an animal rescue and get many bags of cans and bottles donated to us. At first, we took a large load to Beartown to cash in for funds for the rescue. One employee that is currently working there, (middle aged, dark hair, medium height, usually has chew in his lip), came out and informed us that there were some non-returnable bottles, specifically Gatorade. Fair enough. We apologized and offered to take the bottles that were not returnable and he declined and continued counting. The following load, we sorted them all before bringing them in, which was a very dirty and gross job but we know it is worth it for the animals and certainly were not trying to cause a problem for the redemption center either! The second time, he came out and said the same thing... that there were "A LOT of PA cans" to which we again apologized and let him know that we did make a significant attempt to sort them beforehand. He stated that he had found 10. (This was a load of probably 1,000.) He also stated something about having been in the military for 15 years to which we are not sure why this information was given. We again stated that we could take the non-returnables and dispose of them and he again declined and continued counting. SO MY QUESTION IS THIS: WHY SAY ANYTHING THEN???? I then walked into the building to watch as I really didn't believe that there were that many non-returnables as I had looked through them myself. He was still grumbling to another employee, who was polite and didn't seem to mind, about "they must have not gone through them very good!" Then he saw me sitting there and acted like he knew me... which I don't know him. He then stated he didn't have his glasses on. (????) It is really a shame because all the other employees are really nice and aren't odd or rude but because of this one guy, we will not be coming back to Beartown Redemption. My guess is that they will probably lose a lot of business due to this guy, which is a shame. He isn't someone that has worked there a long time because we only recently started seeing him within the past year or less. On a positive note, we went to Rey's Redemption Center today and got more for our cans and the employees were all very sweet and welcoming. We were even entered in a drawing to win a prize because we had more than 400 cans! We experienced the best customer service at Rey's of any redemption center that we have ever been to so far! The employees all have excellent attitudes and have the can and bottle redemption down to a science. Even though they count them all by hand, they don't seem to be any slower and they know how to treat their customers! We will be going to Rey's from now on!!!!

We had never booked a dumpster rental before but we had done a big cleanup on an old property and…read moreneeded to get rid of a large amount of varied materials. Anthony at Mansaz was responsive, helpful, and really friendly, taking time to answer all of our questions. We were able to pay online; the quote we were given in advance was 100% accurate, something I've heard some other waste removal companies struggle with. The truck was delivered on a Friday, and picked up again on the following Monday, which was very convenient for us. I had been nervous about lifting heavy material up into a dumpster but it was actually the back of a truck, with a ramp, which was a super user-friendly arrangement. Anthony recycled the metal we had put in one corner as he recommended, and sent us a bill for the disposal fee on the tires we had collected - smaller than we expected and very affordable. The whole process couldn't have been easier or more straightforward. Based on this experience I highly recommend these folks.

Communication was excellent, drop off was right on time. We quickly discovered we needed more space for all the trash. Mansaz were able to book us a second 15 yard dumpster. (They hauled the first load at short notice and returned with the empty dumpster for that second load.) We could not have done it without them. We were also down a pair of hands on the second day of the move and were able to hire them for one hour of assistance. Again, saved us! Highly recommended.

We spoke with this company and explicitly told them how much we needed hauled (small basement's…read moreworth). We were very specific to ask the size of the truck. We were told they had a small truck and a large one for whole households and that we'd be the smaller truck and gave us a quote. Today they showed up, put 4 things on a mostly empty trailer (not truck) and told us that was all they could take. If we wanted to fill the trailer it would be twice as much. It was unbelievable, very misleading. We had them unload the few items and they left (telling us good luck finding anyone else.) They may have gotten good reviews from those who only need a specific item or items taken, but beware of hiring them for anything else. Oh, and by the way, they request to be paid in cash rather than check.

Small laundromat, with 18 washers. There are 10 single load washers that are $1.75 (2/2015) per…read moreload. Six washers are $3.50 and two are $4.00. Dryers are $.25 for eight minutes. The facility is clean and obviously maintained by the Pizza place two doors away. The machines were shining because they have been wiped down, and all were in good working condition. Wash time is incredibly shorter than the thirty minutes I am used to with a wash cycle of 15 minutes. Clothes came out smelling fresh and I hope this is not because of the short rinse cycle. The dryers have substantial heat, so they get the job done provided you don't over stuff them. People leave paperback book for patrons to borrow while waiting, or to take home. My only complaint is the 1990's TV that has a 'display' box blocking one third of the screen. C'mon, TVs are cheap now. Build a retaining box if you are afraid it will get stolen!
