😠 When your turn around to go to the bins, the dudes standing wearing reflective vests are extremely rude and unpolite with customers. It's a shame to see a little politeness can go so far but they choose to go with rudeness. We are paying here and not throwing our household items for free The female...

    The person who directed me into the building with my trailer was very polite. However. When exiting as I pulled up to the machine I received a very important call. It took me a few seconds to put them on hold to pay and request a receipt. Only to be subject to a very sparky and rude remark from the cashier about me being on the phone. I was really suprised at this because I have always encountered polite people at this location.

    Jul 4, 2022: Again, wasted an hour to learn Pickering station not open as the contractor to haul garbage out of their site was not working, so they can not accept garbage in. Failure to offer simple channel to look at their site before leaving my home, demonstrates an indifference to their customer service level & brand. June 2022: Customer service is measured when things are going wrong. Pickering site closed May 30, person at the gate says truck problems. 1st time I experienced less than honesty & lack of transparency from this company. No notice, no update on google or their company site, sent you to the Whitby location without a simple fact like, your wait time will be at least 30 minutes. Calls to determine if open to avoid time waste is fielded by "mailbox full". Shame such disregard for your brand!

    Miller Waste Management system has the best recycling, waste management facility in the city of Pickering. They collect solid organic waste, recycling and garbage from the neighborhood. They also have drop off system where individuals can drop off their household waste on their own. Currently 30kg dump rate is flat $5. They also provide mulch, manure etc things at reasonable rates.

    Waiting times to get in and out are insane, two people working the scale house one car on scale at a time... I use alot of waste facilities across Durham and this is by far the worst one for wait times

    Convenient and cheap. Sometimes there’s a wait, other times in and out. Some people have no patience

    Wonderful people. The lady was super sweet, she was petting my dog while I was unloading and even gave her a milk bone.

    I live in 1010 Glen st, today a truck was dumping a bin for the complex. My mom’s car was parked in the spot where the driver needed to get in. The incompetence of the complex not informing me prior to the date is absolutely ridiculous, but the driver…, Coming at me in the hallway, accusing me of not answering my door for 3 hours, how I’m wasting his time & money. Trying to intimidate me. I was not having it. My mom who passed 3 weeks ago, I’m not even on the insurance to even drive it. I explained my sister who is, is picking it up from the 24th. Again the driver getting even more angry. I went out and moved it. Luckily nothing happened. Not impressed. Zero stars!!!

    Where I live in Pickering & where we pay the highest taxes, we get the worst services for garbage & recycle removing. We had to live in Scarborough for a year, till our house was repaired, over there they picked up everything that you're allowed to get rid off. Here in Pickering, they are fussy about everything. It's been weeks since they removed our recycled bags of leaves & sticks,,, You put them out in order for them, they drop sticks & leave them there!!! When you phone about any inquiry, the women who answer the phone are rude & disagree with you no matter how right you are. Recycled objects were left in the bin, even though it clearly had the RECYCLING logo on,,,, The lady insisted I was in the wrong, so I took it to their office, the supervisor said it was recyclable!!! Terrible service.

    You need to put a stoppage to waste leaking out of your trucks on residential streets immediately. It is disgusting to go cycling in my neighbourhood because of your organization, all streets are covered in a steady stream of waste fluid. This has been ongoing since at least March, if this is not stopped ASAP, further steps will be taken against your organization.

    The man who welcomes you as you approach the bins to pitch your garbage is the happiest friendliest guy… thanks for your welcoming nature… it always makes someone’s day better

    It’s a dump yes. Horrible wait times(over an hour to get in) because they were “at capacity”. When I got in I saw 2 other cars in there. What waste of time!

  • 4/5 TJ S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place in and out at the right time, I went at 11 45 no line up after that line up

    Lady at the weighing scale was very helpful in explaining the process, and friendly staff at the garbage area.

  • 1/5 MOORE S. 9 months ago on Google
    Soooo slow to get in and out with the scale. Oshawa is way better even if one scale is open.

  • 5/5 Tania R. 2 years ago on Google
    First time going here and the staff was friendly and the disposing waste process was very quick. The Front Desk worker was very welcoming and guided me where I needed to go. - Base fee is $5.

    Different Hours for Haz Waste: Hazardous waste hours for Squires Beach facility, from their website and a call I made: "Source separated loads of Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) are accepted from Durham Region residents only free of charge Tuesday to Saturday 8 a.m. – 4 p.m."

    Nothing feels better then being able to unload a bunch of trash from your house. Even better, when it's on a Monday and other places aren't open until Tuesday. An easy 5 stars.

  • 1/5 HP S. 1 year ago on Google
    Lined up and entered after 5pm only to find out they don't accept hazardous waste after 4:30! The bins are right there but they told me to come another day!! "Hazardous waste" time are different than opening times! BEWARE

  • 3/5 Pauline S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good facility. Wish they would post online that the hours for hazardous waste are different than regular hours
