What clients say about Kennebunk Recycling Center in Kennebunk Township (ME)
I was reading other reviews and I'm shocked I have had a different experience with those who work there. Yes, they are over priced which is frustrating. However the person who sits in the booth and checks people in has always been friendly to me. I only come through about every 6 months but they are always nice and professional.
70 DOLLARD A YARD FOR BRANCHES! Are you kidding me. At least we don't have to buy your town bags anymore. I will be investing in a fire pit for small branches and try to pick up another town trash receptacle. 70.00 DOLLARS A YARD!
The woman who works the booth tries really hard to be as miserable and unfriendly as possible. She is succeeding. Put her on a tractor moving trash. She should not be client facing.
First time there. I had to drop off a couple of appliances, 3 printers, wiring, an air conditioner. For 103.00, I received lame, completely unclear directions or help from the very grumpy attendant. I did not see any signage to indicate designated areas to dispose of items. This led to the increased disdain from the attendant as I had to ask where the heck to put the things.
All this is extremely disappointing and to think: I’m actually trying to do the right thing and dispose of it all properly. Being treated like that never helps either.
I took the exact same amount of bagged leaves last Saturday and today. Last week I was charged $10 while this week, I was charged $15. Again, for the exact same thing and the exact same amount. Their prices are arbitrary at best. I'll just burn my leaves from now on.
Called prior to driving there to see if they take brush. The woman said yes. My driver got there and they refused the load because she said nothing over 10 inch diameter. There was nothing in the load meeting or exceeding 10 inches. When i questioned her she got very upset and screamed she was not taking the load. The lords of the transfer station have spoken.
Would get 5 stars if the grumpy attendant would smile, on occasion. Now that we have to stop, get out of the car, show proof of whatever, some casual interaction would be a pleasant change. That said, the recycling center is tidy and organized and I do appreciate the 'effort' and accessibility.
Was charged to recycle flattened boxes. This might be the only place I've ever lived where this is a thing. Be better off throwing them right in the trash. Taxes are high and I'm getting charged for this?
Also couldn't drop off trash because it wasn't in their special bags. This place is a total headache and a joke. If possible use a different site. They punish you for responsibility disposing of waste.
There is a charge. We were charged $7 for one bagful of mixed recyclables. Not sure what residents would have to pay. There’s a “Treasure Chest” room that’s like a little thrift shop but free.
A fifth star would ease up on the reuse restrictions for multiple reasons. And for what it’s worth, I’m chatty. At the refuse station, I pipe down out of respect. She’s a quiet professional.
