What clients say about Recycling Concepts-West Mi in East Grand Rapids (MI)
One of their drivers almost killed me on the freeway today, because he didn't want to let me merge in front of him even though there was plenty of room and we had been traveling at low speeds. He sped up to keep me from merging. He needs his CDL taken away. He proceeded to honk at me and make rude gestures after I made it onto the freeway and passed him. Truck no. 524560 operating on May 19, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. in Federal Way WA. USDOT 1372756. They need to take a serious look at hiring and training practices for drivers. This was wildly unsafe.
Absolutely horrible pick up sitting for 4 hours no other trucks here, guess it be ok if you was getting paid by the hour! Big Rig Drivers Beware! Take another look at your load board.
They assigned me a door quickly. They move pretty fast and I would assume it is partially because of how small the lot is with trucks coming in. I just do not like the mud. I was stuck in Denver while having to back into a dock with a huge mud hole in front. So it was kind of similar. They need to pave the area. Seriously. It does not take much for this yard to get flooded. Anyway, the only real issue I had was another driver. He seemed cool at first but he is the type who rushes people. I did my thing. He was trying to get somebody to move while it was my turn. I understand that there is not much room and I knew the guy was getting his stuff together such as closing his doors, maybe sending his loaded or empty call, etc. Then I was was finished and ready to go, I pulled out and he was hollering at me to move faster. The ground is messed up. I will be as careful as I need to be especially when I own the truck. I do not care if taking my time may cause another local to hurry in front to mess up your position to proceed. Either he is messed up in the head or just an a..hole like many other selfish truck drivers.
I don't know the general business practices but I can tell you I was almost rear ended by an erratic driver on shaner in Sterling Heights Switch lanes and start a tailgating another driver. With a load that Size you would hope the cdl driver smart enough to follow the rules . Speed limit on shaders 50 miles an hour not 65
Super fast guys.. IN my 10 years driving experience never saw that type of guys ... hats off. Loding full truck load just 5 minutes... brilliant guys...
Website clearly states they deal with industrial waste. Contacted them and they do not deal with industrial waste relating to chemicals and plastics. Why advertise it on the website when its clearly not the truth?
Worked here briefly. Place needs to be shut down. Birds sit above you crapping everywhere, rats hide behind barrels and pallets and hi-lo driver drive with reckless abandon. I was pushed by a driver carrying a bale so he could make room. I was also stuck under some garbage and slowly began to be pulled by their balers conveyor belt before it dropped me down. Nothing about this place is even half way decent.
