Gaeta Recycling in
Paterson (NJ)

We use Gaeta for document shredding at our accounting office TKB Corp, and they always do an outstanding job. Most recently, Travell, Danny, and Victor came to pick up a large amount of documents, and the entire process was fast, efficient, and hassle-free. They were professional, friendly, and easy to work with, making the whole experience smooth from start to finish. It’s clear that Gaeta values both security and customer service — we felt confident our sensitive documents were handled properly. Highly recommend them to any business looking for reliable shredding services!

If I can leave zero stars I would. Place is terrible people are rude there is an old guy working there who doesn’t know how to talk to people. He needs to learn some respect and manners or he needs to retire. Talking about they don’t accept out of state plates even if the trash if from New Jersey which makes no sense. Most definitely worst experience I’ve ever had.

We had shredding done today at our office. Brandon and Travell were both very courteous and did an amazing job. Would highly recommend this company.

I came to drop off paper to get shredded after riding around for 20min finally I got help the gentlemen’s brandon and travell . Was very polite and assisting and helpful the best way they could . They removed the papers completed by the mobile shredding and went the extra mile. I would only want them to help the next time around . It was a pleasure .

We've used Gaeta Recycling's shredding service for our business for many years; efficient, convenient and friendly. Tony & Travell came in today and were personable and friendly. Thanks Guys!!!!!

Terrible service wish my town didnt use them. Dont understand how they consistently skip streets, so now I have to wait two more weeks for my cans to be picked up. Same goes with the garbage pick up, always skipping streets. Its not like they dont drive down the street. Complained to my town and nothing changes. Not the only one who has said something. *****UPDATE*****! They came today for the regular scheduled garbage pick up. Everyone on my block left their recycling out from yesterday. I happened to be outside when they came. Guy on back of truck was laughing about skipping the street yesterday. They ended up taking both the recycling and garbage together. Guess their is no point to recycling if its all going with the garbage

Always a nasty attitude when you call you check on your pick up. Even when they are the ones who are late. Ive been with them for years but I am seriously thinking of changing. I'm on automatic pay and they never forget to take it out of my account but when they miss and I call I feel like they are doing me a favor. I'm getting fed up with the attitude!! whoever the lady is should NOT be answering the phone!!

Brandon and his assistant were very friendly and super efficient in shredding our many boxes of paper. The Gaeta company was quick to respond to my questions and gave us a very reasonable rate. Would definitely recommend them and use them again in the future.

Can’t just close my trash can after pickup so it doesn’t get maggots in it. Takes one extra second and you are gonna be the one that gets covered in them when you open the can.

I have used Gaeta Recycling for paper shredding fundraising events for my church and could not be more pleased. Mike was easy to work with to schedule the fundraiser, and the day of the event went smoothly. Very pleasant truck driver who worked the event. Will definitely be using Gaeta again this year!

Gaeta has been doing our recycling for years now and I just felt compelled to write this review. They are always on time, so courteous and friendly. They've never missed a pickup. They are such a pleasure to work with. I only wish the town would have them do the garbage as well!!

We recently worked with Gaeta Recycling to dispose of a number of documents/paperwork that needed to be shredded in a big spring clean out of our house. We called the company and they supplied us with a number of shredding bags. When we were ready, we called back and set up a time for them to come to our house and pick up the bags for proper shredding. The process was seamless and the men at pick up were very kind and efficient. We highly recommend using this company for confidential document disposal, and we will definitely be using them again in the future!

Gaeta Recycling is top-notch! Their service is reliable, professional, and efficient. The team is always friendly and goes the extra mile to ensure everything runs smoothly. Whether for residential or commercial needs, they make the process hassle-free. Highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I couldn’t be happier with the service from Gaeta Recycling! They are always on time, professional, and reliable. Their team goes above and beyond to ensure our waste is collected efficiently, and their customer service is top-notch. Scheduling pickups is easy, and their pricing is fair for the high level of service they provide. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable waste management company. Keep up the great work!

We’ve been using Gaeta Recycling for our garbage and recycling services, and they’ve been fantastic! Their drivers are always on time, and what really stands out is that they wave to my son every time they come by—it’s such a sweet gesture that makes his day. The company is reliable, professional, and environmentally conscious. I highly recommend them!!!!

Gaeta Recycling has been a fantastic partner for The Quarry Grill. Their waste management services are efficient, timely, and hassle-free, making it easy for us to keep our restaurant clean and environmentally responsible. Their team is always professional, and their recycling solutions align perfectly with our commitment to sustainability.

This is the worst company ever. They don’t come on schedule. When you call because they don’t come for weeks at a time, everyone you talk to is rude and lie to you saying they are sending someone right out and they never show up. They don’t reimburse you for the days they never showed up and they steal your money. We use this company in my building and we have a chute system, a garbage room with a dumpster downstairs that collects all the bags from all 4 floors. Well these geniuses, when they show up, take the dumpster out of the garbage room, empty it onto their truck and leave the dumpster anywhere they want in our parking lot!! They don’t put it back in our trash room so when people throw bags down the chute there is no container receiving them and they splash garbage all over the room. They are a HORRIBLE company and HORRIBLE PEOPLE to work with. They should be reported to the Better Business Bureau!! Run from this company! The picture attached is from today. They just left the container out there. Oh and they have all sort of excuses and lies you can imagine when you call them to find out why they haven’t showed up. It’s a disgrace to deal with this company!! Update: This company has all sort of excuses not to pick our garbage. In the summer time because of the heat and in the winter time because of the cold temperatures. They always have problems for x,y & z with their trucks. Oh but wait! Gets even better…. When they FINALLY decide to show up they would not pick up the bags that fall off the overflowing dumpster due to them not picking up on time. They won’t honor the contract and schedule they have with us, would not reimburse you for the days they do not comply with our contract and would not allow us to hire any other companies. These guys are full on crooks!

Bad service, they often delay to pick up. They don’t arrive whole week. My service is 2 times a week. But they disappear. But the monthly bill come out on time. Last pickup time on June 27. Today is July 8?

Have never had a negative experience with Gaeta recycling or trash pick up. These guys are courteous and professional. I missed trash pick up today, and I called, and spoke to Mike, who was super kind and so professional and said, “Not a problem at all, I will send the guys to swing back.” Honestly, I am a resident here for 21 years and I have reached out on occasion and they are always quick and professional. They almost always pick up on the first ring ?

The employee was very courteous and efficient. 45 yea0rs worth if paper was sheeded in minutes before my eye. You can feel confident that your information is kept private.

Blerim came with the Gaeta Shredding truck destroyed and shredded all our Confidential Files, The service was on time, Quick and professional. Blerim work clothes were clean and spotless and his appearance was well representation of the company and service provided. It was our second time using Gaeta for our confidential destruction needs. We would not use any one else but Gaeta and Blerim

Garbage an recycling pick up is a tuff job I’m sure !! I’m simply asking that the cans are returned to the spot they pick up at , no left in road an if the fall over they roll out to middle of road this becomes a safety issue . Our home as a ramp in front of house I sure they realize someone had. Handicap issues I’m not asking for special treatment just simply return cans to place found not in street ! Now I see why towns are looking to change services !!! I called this morning spoke to Carlos explained issue he was very polite an kind said he would pass on problem !! Thank u Carlos hope other are as responsible as u !!!!

Best garbage service in our town. Highly recommend. The men that come to my house are very kind and friendly. They even said if I forget to bring out the trash they will note to grab on the side of our house (only if I allowed them and I said yes of course) We usually don’t forget but when we did they actually really came to the side and grabbed our cans for us! They are the best.

When you go to dump your truck Sal a great guy ?if you need some help ask ?thank so much Eddie ?just a big help had a dead battery on truck when on line to dump Sal the man helped me out thanks so much ?

****8/29/21: Update on this review: Dawn went above and beyond to make this right. We would like to personally thank Dawn for helping us trust Gaeta for any future service again. We came yesterday to get the form that needs to be filled out and spoke directly to Carlos who told us that we would be able to rent a van from Home Depot not a Box Truck and even showed us a picture to bring the material we were going to dump. We went ahead rented the van, loaded the material we were going to discard, came at 4:30am to make the line to wait until they open at 6:30am only for Carlos to say “sorry” he gave us the wrong information. We feel so belittled and mocked at with this whole situation. Hope no one has to go through this. Wasted money, wasted effort, wasted time. We were treated very inhumanly. To them this seemed like a big joke. Carlos should be fired!!!

Such a delight dealing with this company. My husband had so many files that needed to be shredded and he called Gaeta. They were courteous, here on time, left my driveway clean--no residue or paper flying. Price was very reasonable and we would highly recommend them. I know we will be using them again In the near future!!! Thank you very much for your professionalism!!!

My family has used Gaeta for as long as I can remember. The customer service is beyond exceptional, very professional. The drivers are so nice, courteous, clean and very careful. They have never just dropped a dumpster and took off. They make sure it is in the right place and everything is ok and safe. I have never had a billing issue, no surprise charges and everything was done as agreed. I highly recommend this company.
