What clients say about Blackstone Valley (Pawtucket) Transfer Station in Pawtucket (RI)
Pawtucket residents can still bring a few bags of trash and other items to dispose of here.
Only the commercial portion is closed, so you cant fill up a whole truck and bring it on the scale any longer.
Been there dozens of times. I AM A RESIDENT. Extremely rude guy, wouldn't let me dump last time, said I was not a resident, wouldn't accept proof...I had to go to mayors office and DPW to protest. Inconsistant protocols. Absolutely, rudest people. Worst service. You will get harassed for your well paid tax dollars here. These people need to be replaced asap. Terrible, terrible experience.
Way too expensive $50 for two bags of trash just because I have a landscape assigned in my truck dial means it's for my business I'm up Pawtucket restaurant I should have a discount because of the house owners they don't go over all the time we as a small business we go over there all the time we don't make a lot of money to spend $50 with two bag of trash
Very easy process and the staff were helpful. It is a huge eye opener though, whenever possible, donate, reuse, repurpose, and recycle! Be prepared it is a bot overwhelming to see, and well the smell isn't great either. I do wish they would update web information, as they no longer accept certain items listed as acceptable.
Great service, great people, it's awesome if you are a business trying to get rid of anything or even if you are a homeowner trying to dispose anything in the Pawtucket area, this is the place to go. I highly recommend it.
It all depends who is working. I have a rental house in Pawtucket and the nice woman usually looks it up with two clicks of her mouse with no issue, today a rude guy said he’s not doing that and he was to busy. Forced me to pay the commercial rate after I dumped my yard waste. Cost me $83 and should have been at least half that. I would have not dumped if I knew I would be forced to pay commercial rate just because they were busy. I asked for a abatement form and he told me I would not be getting a refund. Every time I come, there is a new protocol and people enforce it differently.
Place isn't bad. Went on a Saturday morning long line to get in and out. But that's not their fault. They need to wight your car going in and coming out and they only have 1 weigh station so both entering and exiting need to take turns, causing a delay. keep in mind the place was not originally build to be a dump and they are short staffed. Spent about 20-30 minutes to get in, 10 minutes to unload trash, and another 20-30 minutes waiting in line to pay and leave. don't know what its like weekdays. They charge $50 per ton for RI residential. I rented a box truck from Home depo and loaded it with furniture and trash and it cost me $35 to dump it.
Came to drop off wood from house in pawtucket Rhode Island called ahead to confirm that I was able to dump as a resident rate problem was did not have ID she give me rude attitude told me that I need to pay commercial rate because I had a commercial truck not true asked her if I could show her a valid license with proof of residency she did not want to hear it she made us fill out proof of residency form just to dump very rude multiple reviews from this one woman that staff Pawtucket location
zero stars(had to pick one to be able to post) = place is a RIP off =was never asked to see license was charge MA rate - when questioned rude girl on phone stated I never check to see if Pawtucket resident just look at plate and charge commercial rates whether it is or not = and never told of extra fees either = was told one price from Pawtucket DPW than charged different= DPW than says not our problem - privately run- total rip off - good way they make money on honest people - wont be screwed another time - will be calling to get the bill fixed to RI rate............guess this is why most people just leave their trash on the sidewalks - beats getting screwed out of hard earned $$ and being honest.
