What clients say about Lee County Recycling in Giddings (TX)
I live in Sun Valley, there used to be specific days for trash on Wednesday and recycling every other Friday.
Lately the trucks come 1 day later than they are supposed to and since they went to the hydrolic arm with the claw and not people cans are everywhere. I am a disabled veteran and every rimes trash or recycling run they leave my neighbors cans directly in front of my driveway so I cant just leave. I have to move the cans home to the houses on either side of me plus my cans, the ones bestowed on us by thr city of Giddings.
The drivers for this route dont pay attention to what they are doing. If city trash and recycling cans continue to be left bin my driveway way because the driver's cant leave yhe cans at the house to which they were given, I will start running them over.
I have already been talking to management out here, they have a fine set up for anyone not getting thier cans in by the end of the day. Which the neighbors DO NOT take their cans in.
Some of this can be rectified by the garbage and recycling driver's having more care for thier jobs and us. We do pay for trash service, the city does ask us to maintain the cans and not tear them up on purpose.
Since the garbage and recycling driver's leave the cans in my driveway on purpose and not caring. Then I wont either. Any cans th city garbage and recyclingtrucks leave in my driveway that are not mine because I pull mine in I am responsible for what I am granted, other cans will be run over when I need to leave my driveway.
I have had enough of people not caring about others. The garbage and recycling driver's are also slinging trash everywhere its flying into my yard giving me extra work.
I called to asked how much they were paying for scrap pounds and the guy that answered sound like he belonged doing that job he had absolutely no customer service what so ever he needs to get Jesus in his life before he returns because with that attitude he will be turned away. I called at 10:48 am 12/30/2025 so whoever you are guy get the praying for yourself
The white gentleman in the office I'm guessing is the owner he's disrespectful can't even ask a simple question without him getting bothered. So don't waste your time coming.
Amazing people, they know recycling so if you go in there trying to get one over there head and you won't, I bet you gave them bad reviews on here, they've always been honest, serious and professional, hard working crew great operators customer service, I've been going their for years and they've always been professional and effecient. Thank you guys at LEE COUNTY RECYCLING!!!!
Don't ever go here if you want to be treated with any dignity or respect the man that's working the office who obviously is the same guy that answered the phone yesterday absolutely rude no customer service skills ob noxious I've never been there so i asked a few questions he wasso rude I decided to drive to Bastrop.
Older gentleman (the owner) is extremely rude and shouts at you for asking a simple question, extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. Also they won’t allow you to view the weight on the scales, definitely pencil whips your weight to favor them, when asking about that I was told scales certified move along. Little did he know I had weight prior, will be reporting fraud to the Measurement and weight division since this isn’t the first time they’ve been deceitful. Many people feel they’ve been cheated by going here. On a positive note, outside staff was friendly and helpful.
Easy to find, convenient location and good way to get paid for junk metal. Pulled my loaded trailer onto the scale, got weighed, then drove around the mountains of scrap metal to get unloaded. One of the workers fired up the Komatsu excavator with grappler hooks and easily grabbed all the junk appliances and other scrap off my trailer in about 15 minutes without a sweat. After he finished offloading I had to drive around the mountains of scrap and thru a massive mud pit to get back to the scale for the tare weight before stopping in the office to retrieve payment. The guy inside had the cash waiting at the window by the time I got there. Easy peasy, no hassle, no grumpy attitudes. I wish I could load the junk onto the trailer as quickly as they offloaded it.
Older man in the office is a very rude. Wants nothing to do with customers and the attitude of the office is just negative. The workers are super nice and caring and professional but the owner I guess in the office screws it up for the whole business.
Called before showing up had a full load
Owner was totally rude and won't take load. Drove it to Austin and they took full load no questions asked. Don't waste your time.
Two things I like about Lee County Recycling: 1. They take barbed wire & fencing materials; 2. The guys that work there are nice. Update: Lee County Recycling is NO LONGER OPEN ON SATURDAYS.
Small place but I've never had to wait to get on the scale or get help unloading items far to heavy for 2 or 3 people much less when I'm alone. It's not always clear where you need to go to unload as there are no making it signs except one that says, and I quote, "go right". Well thank you kind sign. And just which of the 15 huge piles do I stop at? Just don't forget your ID if you want to get paid for your scrap.
I bring a Tahoe full of cardboard every Monday from a local charity thrift store where I volunteer. The workers here are very quick, efficient and friendly. They do their jobs with an excellent attitude!
This place is not for the faint of heart NOR for anyone looking for consistency. All information states open on Saturdays from 8 to 12. No phone messages to indicate otherwise. I've driven 35 miles on a Saturday morning to bring a 20k lbs load of short iron to this guy and the place is closed, been here since 745a, leaving now at 845. No use in calling this place since they dont care enough to leave a message to state otherwise. My opportunity to drop steel is over for this weekend as I dont have time to take this anywhere else now.
.
THIS IS A FAIR WARNING....STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE UNLESS YOUR IN TO GAMES OF CHANCE. I'm the dummy for coming back here, DONT BE A DUMMY.
i had bad luck and had to switch a spare tire as i was on my way here.
I was driving from 1 hr away, and made it at 12.06, they close at 12and the guys were still there messing around back there. and said nope you're too late, they didnt even want to hear about my tardiness.... i guess they dont make exceptions
