What clients say about JKS Ventures Inc in Melrose Park (IL)
pressed #4 on the automatic phone menu and the guy on the phone was very rude. learn how to talk to customers on the phone. if you don’t like your job, work somewhere else. Also asked for pricing on salt bags and he said $40 for 50LB bags??? You gotta be joking me.
You lost a big customer.
I was there dumping clean concrete
And there were about a hand full of bricks
They charged me like it was regular construction garbage .
And on top of that I requested 3 scoops of gravel bob cat 1/2 yard scoop.
Im a contractor I know is about 1 1/2-2 the most. They rude told me close to 4 tons. End up paying about 400 for something that should be 100 to 150 the most.
I know we don't have control over their scale. But contractors knows their weights.
Bad experience
I called about about dumping bricks. The guy on the phone told me 35$/ton. I came, was told to weigh, dump first, then weigh again. I dumped a concrete/brick mix. My receipt showed I dumped 500lbs. The guy in the window charged me 85$. When asked about the 35$/ton, the guy explained that it was a different material. I didn’t want to argue, so I paid. Just felt like I was overcharged. Not sure if they have 1 ton minimum charges and they charged this as construction waste which is $80/ton, so I’m not sure if I was treated fairly. Easy place to dump though, and it is open on Sundays. I wish there was more openness/transparency on the pricing. I probably wouldn’t have dumped if I knew I was going to pay 85$ for half a pickup load.
Great place for dropping off any kind of debris including concrete, yard waste, and waste wood. They also sell commercial mulch, sand and gravel by the yard. Huge recycling facility.
I been a loyal customer to this company for many years they keep improving their service here . The best thing is they recycle perfect for the environment wood turns to mulch concrete to reusable stone and gravel cardboard gets send to China ect.. To me best place that helps nurture are planet every little thing helps.
Mattress disposal fee should be Specified on the scale, not by the window wen you all ready dump And the guy, on the window jus tell you it’s 200 .00 hundred dollars four a single mattress???Pay or you can go back and pick it up .
i delt with dave and he is very good and helpful. he had all the information i needed ready an available as soon as i asked and was very polite. highly recommend dealing with dave for any of your needs.
I just got a one yard of mulch this 2023 price is the same as last year for less material don’t come to get material here you can really see the difference last year and then this year Less material this year for the same price as the guy on the office and he ask the secretary and she is like seems like a yard to me if you don’t want to dump it, and we give you your money back please how serious is this?
I own a junk removal/ demolition company and I spent a lot of money there but today experience i had with the guy at office was extremely bad he was extremely rude
From now on i won't go there anymore I cant believe they have employee working there treating customers with such bad manners
If you are removing an old fence and have wood & concrete to dispose of, take it here! Don't get a WM green bag and save yourself hundreds of $$. I removed a garden fence and a small concrete wall, loaded it into the back of my car and dropped it off here. Recycle your C&D waste, folks!
Over priced for sure,I usually deal with advanced disposal, just 3 minutes down the street$ 70 a ton is what they charge, jks charge me 110 plus tax for about 400 pounds of clothes and one headboard
Easy in and out process. The front desk person was very friendly and provided simple instructions for being a first-timer. It was also very inexpensive. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Should have another scale installed so could have 1 for inbound and 1 for outbound or have employee control the flow of traffic in 1 scale (1 in 1 out) some vehicles going in wouldn't give me a chance to go on scale outbound with semi, some courtesy would be nice
Well that day there wasn't any employee directing traffic onto scale, outside there were about 6-8 vehicles waiting to go in and behind me about 4-5 waiting to scale out, i never said D&P didn't let me go on scale...not taking off my review !!! The stars are based on whole experience on your property
Now ridiculous was the note you guys had on scale window "masks for sale box of 10 for $60 " taking advantage on these times !!!
This place needs to control dust emissions; the amount of dust and odor coming from here need to be looked into by the EPA!! Also, customer service here is a joke, enter at your own risk!
Great place for a landscaper to go for dumping for yard waste or just a pick up some landscape supplies like mulch Stone and more. Very friendly and open on Sundays.....
If you have your stuff together this is a great place. They are high volume and very busy. Don't hide expensive garbage in cheap garbage you waste everyone's time. Garbage disposal is an expensive and difficult job. Understanding that will go a long way to understanding the process. Professional people.
Never go here!!!!! They steal weight!!! i went in with 95pounds and got paid for 65pounds not a good place to go!!!they dont show you the scale on purpose. ..better off to go on western & fulton!!! Top dollar and Honest people!
