I have used this facility no less than a hundred times over the past ten years. The folks working there have always been very friendly and helpful. I have no complaints and would recommend this place to anyone needing their services
Government funded business at its finest.
If you really want to know how a facility should be run go checkout the one in redmond oregon.
The oregon city transfer station has its place but people are mostly rude and remind me of government entitled people.
I came in with garbage and I left without it. The price was not particularly reasonable, but I actually do believe that they go through and sort everything and do everything to the best of their ability.
A total ripoff $80 for a pickup full of trash? Newberg and Salem and Sandy charge only $27. Companies like this are the reason why people do illegal dumping around the city. Then they also asked me to separate my metal so they can make even more money off me. These people are thieves
Garbage Into truck and trailer, garbage out of truck and trailer. 880 lbs I will never have to concern myself with again. Cost less than curb service from City Refuse Company.
Update: place still smells like garbage!
The people were quick with their responses and friendly. I dropped off some transmission fluid and it didn't cost a cent. I had a great experience there. It was quick and easy even as a first timer.
It’s going downhill. They all hate thier jobs here and that includes you. Last few times I was here they didn’t want to give me directions on where to go. This time they put me in the wrong line and wasted two entire hours of my life. If you ask them what materials they recycle here, they have no idea. It’s a very poorly managed facility.
After reading the previous reviews on this facility, I seriously considered going elsewhere. But since it was relatively close, I thought I'd give it a try. Good decision. Went in early and was out in minutes. Literally everyone could not have been nicer.
While the lines can be long, the staff are always courteous as they guide us through the process. It is a privilege to be able to bring large amounts of waste and know that it will be processed as correctly as possible.
Smells just like you'd expect. Plenty of incredibly helpful, personable, and we'll-paid employees standing around to help you with your every dump need. Avoid weekends if you can help it.
Its unfortunate this place is really the only place around to dump. Be very careful they will rob you while youre looking. They added 350 pounds to my weight. Pay very close attention to your weight when you go in and when you get your ticket. I weighed 8640 going in and they said I weighed 8990. Employees are not the brightest but they are nice. No real issues there.
Employees including manager are unbelievably rude and look at what they’ve scared of the bottom of a sink??? Don’t worry I’ll never go their again Joe Tharp wow got in my space and breathing in my face telling me how great his employee were
I used to be able to get in and out here relatively quickly. They implemented a new system and I’ve waited an hour to drop off one pickup of recycling and garbage. And I’m still waiting! Whoever came up with this new system needs to be fired!
I’ve dropped off a considerable amount of junk here including bio waste over the last couple years. The prices are reasonable and the workers are always really friendly. Biohazard section closes earlier than the main area so check closing times before making a trip if you need to go there.
3-9-25 $153.67/ton to dispose of trash and they charge $27 additional just for entering! 😬
Well it's Metro government that run it, no wonder it's expensive. I would bet if the private sector ran it, it would be 20% plus cheaper. At least they have a friendly staff. 👍😃👏
The latest because evidently you’re not allowed to leave more than one review how convenient, I just dropped off 680 pounds and had to pay $79, complete robbery and I wish bad things, it also doesn’t surprise me that people are dumping illegally all over the place, some people have no choice and the people at Metro South know this and that’s why they charge what they charge. I hope you’re happy and I hope whoever made the decision to Jack the prices of that high, knowing full well that people have no other choice, I hope that person gets fired . Even the person at the booth when I went to pay, was shaking their head and said the reason why the prices are so high is because they know the average person can’t do anything about it
Most of the people there are cool , there’s a few that should retire or find a different job. The prices do not need to be as high as they are and they close for “ the heat” at about 85 degrees…..I wish I had another option . It didn’t used to be like that .
NEVER in my life have I been treated so HORRIBLY by a "customer service representative!" I brought garbage/recycling/debris to Metro South, my online service was on the fritz so I could not look up the website prior to my arrival. I wanted to ask the man in the scale house 2 quick questions. Before I even got the first question out he (Jeffrey was his name 😠) very rudely rolled his eyes and said "oh boy, here we go." So I just shut my mouth and said I have yard debris and recycling. In so many words he accused me of lying about the yard debris and was VERY rude, aggressive, and snide through the entire transaction. He tried to make me look like an idiot in front of my kids and I actually heard him tell his co-workers all he ever gets are liars and fools for customers. My kids also overheard him say this. I will never give them my business again because of this one individual JEFFERY! It was completely uncalled for. I don't even ever write reviews, but this was just the most disturbing and disrespectful interaction I've ever had. I hope the owners see this! Because this guy seriously should not be in customer service!
Every person that I interacted with here at the OC location were very friendly and gave me direction as to where I was to go with my cardboard in the way back corner of the main building #2 - I could not believe all the junk being thrown away in the huge resevoir. Pretty amazing to see!
Very helpful and nice people working here. We went here after being turned away by the awful folks at the Newberg waste transfer station. It was quick in, quick out, well organized. Smells awful but it is the dump after all. Just remember to cover your load since the prices are much lower with a covered load. And bring hand sanitizer!
