Prompt (within 1 week) delivery of the scheduling and service was done in addition to our regular trash service. The timing was important; as we had a house showing unexpectedly early. Everything was cleared and clean with no remaining trash. Cost to us is $6. per pickup for regular trash service. If this seems high, Western Disposal is strongly linked to efficient recycling and provides excellent education and services in that area. I would like to think they can pay their employees as well. Last year a company employee, went out of his way to help us locate a small sized construction bin last summer as Western handles only larger ones. In fact, he made a personal call from out of town when he thought of new possible solutions. This personal response impressed me.
Description of Work: additional large construction and one time trash hauling. $26. per cu yd.

Unwanted stuff quietly disappears with a phone call. Isn't America great? For small batches of DIY effluent, this service is hard to beat. For larger loads it may be more economical to hire someone with a truck.
Description of Work: Call ahead and western disposal will haul extra trash on your collection day for $19 per cubic yard. You need to drag the stuff out to the curb with your cans but it doesn't need to be put in the can.

Reasonably priced, professional. Western delivered the dumpster on time, placed it exactly where we indicated we needed it, and promptly came and removed it when called. Easy to deal with.
