Michael brother continually impressed us with their customer service and flexibility. We ordered four residential dumpsters from them. Many of them requested the night before the previous dumpster was filled. Michael Brothers came through on every occasion by picking up our old dumpster and replacing it with a new one. Their reliability was excellent and I highly recommend them for any waste management specifically dumpster services in the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania area

Best place to dispose of debris. There is recycling on site too so you unload your garbage and then you can take the metal to the front and get paid for that. Staff was friendly and helpful!

The customer care was exceptional, matching the quality of the product. The process was straightforward, with prompt delivery and pick-up. Additionally, there was no damage to the driveway. The Mighty Binz, with its wider dimensions and lower height, proved to be highly efficient in use.

Out of all the scrap metal places I've gone to, Michael Brothers is the most well structured and easy to navigate. The staff are friendly so even if you don't know what you're doing or what metal you have, they'll help you figure it out. Just pull into the garage looking place and go from there. Or if you're already set up in the system and you have a truck full of stuff you can head straight back to the scale/yard. Prices are fair and they don't appear to be doing anything sketchy.

Minimum is a little steep at $100 but for construction debris it was easy in/easy out. Staff at scale house was friendlier than a lot of dumps/transfer stations.

Very organized. Separate marked bins. Michael Brothers makes it very easy to recycle many items, such as #1, #2, #s 3 through 7 plastics, all types of cardboard, glass, styrofoam, plastic bags, etc. They pay you for aluminum & metals. They also recycle electronics, sweepers, & even garden hoses. Staff are friendly and very helpful. CORRECTION: I recently found out that they DO NOT recycle Plastic Bags & Styrofoam anymore.

I dropped off #5 plastics last Friday and was overall very pleased with my experience. The facilities crew was phenomenal and made the process go off without a hitch. Their facilities manager, Matt, was very personable and answered all of my questions. Would definitely recommend, especially since they accept #1-7 plastics.

Clean, extremely nice staff, and very approachable once you figure out how to navigate to where you want to go. Unfortunately, I learned that scrapping metal simply wasn't worth my time. Over a year of saving up aluminum and it amounted to barely anything compared to the time, storage space, and energy I put in. Still, it was a fun little project that bought a dinner and I'd definitely go back if I ever found myself with some metal and just wanted to do the responsible thing. My rating is 4/5 not for the pricing, but for the signage. Given how little value the scrap is worth, I do get why it would be a super low priority, but it could be a bit clearer for newcomers. Great to know the place, just a bit intimidating trying to get to know it from square one.

Top of their game, no need to look anywhere else for your Dumpster or scrap buying needs. They also recycle everything in the dumpsters and are pushing the needle on environmental sustainability in Western PA. Every team member i dealt with was amazingly kind and helpful.

❤️Absolutely the best experience we could have possibly had was with Michael brothers! They are prompt professional and took very good care of me and my family! We had a family medical emergency with my son and they went above and beyond for us in our time of need! I highly recommend them and can not thank them enough for everything they did for my family ❤️❤️❤️ they have a customer for life with us! Thank you guys so much!!!!❤️

Title: Top-Notch Recycling Services! Review: I can’t say enough positive things about Michael Brothers Recycling! Their commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship is truly commendable. I’ve been using their recycling services for years, and I’ve always been impressed by their efficiency and professionalism. Whether it’s dropping off recyclables or scheduling a pickup, the process is seamless and hassle-free. What sets Michael Brothers Recycling apart is their dedication to going above and beyond for their customers. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to assist with any questions or concerns. I appreciate knowing that my recyclables are being handled responsibly and ethically. With Michael Brothers Recycling, I can rest assured that I’m doing my part for the planet. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for top-notch recycling solutions!

Everyone I dealt with was super friendly and accommodating, even after i had to reschedule. The guy called when he was on his way to deliver the dumpster and sent me pics to make sure he had it in the right spot. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

Virgil has made my scrapping experience a pleasant one. He is so helpful and kind. I’ve learned a lot from him about the difference types of metals, which helps separating them so the process goes quicker and smoother. He is very patient and a real asset to your company.

This is the second time we've gotten a "residential dumpster" for spring clean-up and we couldn't be happier than with Michael Brothers! A simple phone call is all it took to reserve and schedule delivery. Their prices are reasonable and they have a "menu" of sizes available. The woman on the phone was friendly and courteous and explained everything we would need to know, and all our options. Delivery was timely and Terrell Hart, the driver, was very professional and friendly! He called when he left the yard to let us know he was on the way, and asked when he arrived exactly where we wanted the dumpster, how close to the house, which side of the driveway, etc. and put it just where we wanted. He even lowered the dumpster gently onto the cement drive so that there wouldn't be any damage, we'd heard horror stories about damage being done to driveways and lawns by other companies. We don't plan to collect as much junk to clean up in the future, but if we do we will be happy to call Michael Brothers again to help us get rid of it!

I use this facility for the company I work for , I've dumped debris, recycled tons of buggies and scrap metal, recently dumping tons of house debris and construction debris. The lady at the dump station is always a pleasure to deal with I enjoy talking with her!! It's been very quick and now with the brand new dumping area right by the scales I don't have to drive up into the neighborhood, it's literally right beside the scales and cannot be easier😎🤩. Everybody has always been nice to me even when I'm not sure where to dump they guide me:) very highly recommend this business!! we rented huge rolls from them as well and always a pleasure!

Been there twice. First time with cans and brake rotors and got a reasonable price. Second time with even more brake rotors and somehow made less money per pound. Fairly certain whoever rung me up used the wrong scrap value the second time. Scrap steel rung up as .02/ lb when Auto cast is advertised as .105/lb at the time on their own website. Im not going to completely tank the review as I'll assume it was an honest mistake. Verify the price before arriving.

Price was competitive; person scheduling rental was very responsive and professional; driver did a fantastic job of dropping off and picking up 'lift-off 22 cu yd' dumpster, placing boards down on driveway to make sure no damage to cement! Bottom line: very satisfied customer - will be sure to call on Michael Brothers again for future projects!

Ordered dumpster for a Friday they dropped off Tuesday. Did not get a price when ordered. Thought it would be picked up after 7 days it was not. Called a week and a half later and they charged $20 per day. Not disclosed when originally called in. It is in the fine print but not very happy with the operation. I will explore other options in the future.

My experience with Michael Brothers was great. The container arrived right on time Monday morning. The container was incredibly clean. When I emailed to schedule the removal, the truck was here and gone before I noticed. I highly recommend Michael Brothers.

We were happy to discover this place primarily because they collect plastic #5 - something I've been trying to recycle for over a year because the smaller collectors still haven't resumed operation since covid. This place also takes plastics 2-4, glass, and cardboard right up at the front entrance (for free). They pay for aluminum/metals. Happy to have an all-in-one facility closer to home!

I never thought I would be so impressed by a dump. The service here is just great. They’re efficient, organized, friendly, and the prices in my experience are very fair. My dad and I have probably brought this place up in conversation more often than anyone would care to hear. I think he bought a dump trailer just so he could haul more stuff here.

Quick service and friendly staff. I ordered a dumpster for a landscaping project, and I paid the same as a junk removal company was asking for 1/20th of the job. The staff also answered questions over multiple phone calls and was super friendly and helpful. I will definitely use them again.

Hoarders buried alive? You better clean up your property before you get fined and or get evicted. We have laws! Load up you garbage and bring it here!

Our company was spending $1500-2000 month using them for hauling. On top of the payments we were paying each time we used them, we noticed they were taking thousands of dollars per month out of my bank account. They have a controlled chaos system where they charge twice for the same service. This way they make out with an extra $500 instead of the $2050 they charged extra. They told us we have to pay before they send the dumpsters. But their billing department charges our bank account an additional charge the first Saturday of each month to make it look legal to our banks security. Good thing I keep a close eye on my banks finances. Like I mentioned, their policy for Live Load Dumpster Hauling is they demand payment upfront, this company was paid upfront for services, there was no reason for them to continue to withdrawal money, credit money, etc. They were paid before the trucks showed up. They went to the homeowners house trying to strong arm money from the homeowner, threatening to sue the homeowner. This company is crooked, they are unprofessional, and they use controlled chaos to rip people off. Each employee has a different story and different price for services. Seems as if someone within the company is stealing funds and changing the books. Pay cash and don't give them your debit or credit card numbers is my recommendation. Everything they stated below is a LIE. None of that occurred. They have us mixed up with another company or they are just lying. We never asked them for their help to begin another job. They owed us $475 from the first $1000 they took out of our account and we only owed them $500 and some change. We proceeded to pay them as usual for each dumpster UPFRONT. We never paid them after the jobs were done. We always had the funds to cover our expenses. They are plainly lying.

Recently had a massive home cleanout project and rented two large dumpsters from Michael Brothers. Could not be happier with the service from start to finish. Super friendly staff, lightning fast delivery and pickup. My driveway is slanted - most other companies I researched were not willing to place in the driveway for that reason. MB had zero issues getting a 30 yarder in and out. They are also the only hauling company I could find willing to take tires. Thank you so much for making a headache of a job so much easier on us. Will recommend to everyone.

I have used Micheal Brothers in two remodels I have done. They are easy to deal with, relatively fast pickup. I have used their Hogges bags extensively and the bag and the pickup is great. I have also used their full dumpsters and generally they get swapped out on the same day. I thought i was going to get an overcharge for tonnage on one of them because we put a LOT of the plaster/drywall that is soooo heavy. They said it was a little over but not a problem. Never had any problems getting pickups or drop off. Can't ask for better. oh the prices are competitive. I have no affiliation with MB except as a satisfied customer.
