Absolutely awful 71 dollars minimum I had a fiberglass tub I had to drive 30 miles to dump it for 10 dollars at a honest dump they also charge to borrow a safety vest which is required by law absolutely terrible I should start throwing all my trash on the side of the road in front of the dump so they can take it for free.
Other than the fact that this place is conveniently open on Saturday and the staff being helpful, the $71 minimum just to go dump stuff is ridiculous. And they also charge just you for a bright colored vest if you don't have anything bright on you. It's no wonder that people sometimes just dump stuff on the streets.
The folks that work in the front shed are very good. You people have to redo how you have people come in this place? Contractors to the left, because they know they have to wait. And then people like me with mixed recyclables and cardboard to the right. I don't want to have to wait a day and a 1/2 to drop off my recyclables. Smarten up, get with the program.
What a scam this place is!!! Went in with a mattress (which is free disposal per online ) a box spring and toilet. Got charged $143!!!! They stated the box spring was a bad shape. I’m sorry what? You’re not going to resell it or use it! You will burn it with every thing else! But you’re going to charge me $70 to dispose of it????? And then to top it off had to pay $1 and buy a “safety vest” to unload the items! No wonder why you see trash and junk thrown on the side of the roads! The state is charging an arm and a leg to correctly dispose of the stuff! Anything to make money as usual with this state! Never again!
They recycle old mattresses and box springs for free. They must be in decent condition. It was a hassle figuring out where to go and they changed me $ 3.00 for a safety vest. But better than dumping it anywhere, which a lot of people do. Employees were nice and tried to be helpful.
This place is the worst they make you sit and wait 30 mins sometimes longer that is not right to do to any customer we contractors can't have our customers wait like that so you do you make your customers wait beyond a reason wait time
Good for textiles recycling dropoff, rigid plastics, hazmat, etc. THEY NO LONGER take foam for recycling. They're website is not great, so if you want to drop off foam for recycling, this is the nearest place in MA
Great tour! Learn more about the Materials Recycling Facility (MRF), and how you can be a better recycler. Check out their informative web site for more information and to schedule a tour or school field trip. Landfill will be full by 2035. We all need to make the effort to be better recyclers.
Tractor trailer review Had a fabulous experience picking up baled aluminum here, in and out in 45 mins. Guys were really quick and nice. Portable potty on site, no legit washrooms.
Easy and easy out if you plan your time accordingly usually first thing in the morning when they open if you beat the commercial trucks you can dump rather quickly. Make sure you have a fluorescent vest and long pants that's their new policy for safety otherwise they will sell you a vest for three bucks. Don't forget about their Eco dump where you are able to recycle things for free some items.
The Rhode Island central landfill in Johnston,Is amongst,"The best run landfill operations in the USA.I have been coming here since 1986, and operations have improved with each passing year.The staff, is on point, when it comes to, "what goes where."no matter how many people,go over the scales in a day.the place runs like a well oiled machine, day in, and day out! Kudos people.Keep up the good work sincerely will sully!
99% humidity today and 0 dumpy smell. Nicely done. Also that tire pile is starting to rival the Simpsons. We need some fun playground companies to come grab these and turn garbage into community centerpieces.
I visited the RIRRC for the first time and had absolutely no idea where I was going. I stopped at the guest area and two lovely gentlemen showed me where to go. One even escorted me every step of the way which I very much appreciated because I get lost all the time . The employee at the recycling area was very helpful and sweet. I felt comfortable and safe as a woman being there and will be back!
((I recycled a year's worth of cardboard boxes from deliveries for my Mom and mattress bags amongst other plastic bags as well))
We had some items in our she'd that needed to be brought to the dump (eco depot). I was impressed with how quickly they got through the @50 cars in front of me. I had some difficulty finding my way out, but they had someone looking for direction-challenged drivers like me .
It is really nice to have a landfill that takes good care of both recyclable and non recyclable waste. Their prices are pretty good for do it yourself folks as well.
It was very expensive ($68) just to dump a very small pickup ved of trash. It's also very confusing to figure out where exactly in the dumping area that I needed to go
I've accumulated about 35 gallons of used motor oil over the years and want to recycle it responsibly. Eco-Depot's next available appointment per their website is 6 months from now in December and I can't even find out of they will take the stated 10 gallons or the full amount. It's clearly not easy being green.
What an amazing trip to the center with my family to learn about the process. 15 Years is all we have left for space in the landfill. Every family in Rhode Island needs to make changes in their recycling and purchasing efforts. I syrongly suggest you take this tour and tell 10 more about it.
First experience going to a dump and didn't know what to expect. Everyone I encountered was very helpful and nice and will definitely go again! The prices were more reasonable than I had thought as well.
The tour of the recycling operation is fascinating! Our presenter was amazing. Highly recommend for all curious kids of any age.
Did not see a bike rack. More than 2 miles from the nearest RIPTA stop. Limited parking. Able to park the wheelchair lift van there but did not use the lift so cannot completely comment accurately on parking.
Great service and assistance, the attendant at the entrance to the recycling containers could not be nicer, Christian Ramos could not have been nicer, proud of his work there and very helpful. A happy Taxpayer
This is truly a great resource for RI residents! Pay by the ton for trash disposal, or go to one of their seasonal events to drop off hazardous waste, tv's, mattresses, plastics, paper, etc. Occasionally they offer free paper shredding, too! The staff is very friendly and does their part to help you get around a huge facility.
