Renovating a basement downtown and the front yard is surrounded by a 5' hedge (2-1/2' thick), which meant I had to get a street permit for a bin. Alas, it takes 2-3 weeks for that to happen....so I just piled all the loose construction waste in the front yard. Given the situation, I was worried about finding a company that would be willing to haul this stuff away - or what the cost would be. I called Scarborough and described my predicament, and they sent a truck around the next day. Unfortunately, there was some sort of miscommunication and Spyder, the driver, didn't expect to be loading loose waste into the bin on his truck over the hedge (he thought it would be bagged or bundled, and would require less than 1/2 hour of work). After calling the owner (and sending him pics of the waste), the owner said it was up to Spyder to decide if he wanted to load the truck or pass on the job. Spyder agreed, and helped me throw everything in the bin in the rain - took about an hour and twenty minutes. When I told Spyder I needed to have another load hauled away, he told me to mention him by name if I called back and he'd be happy to do it again. Needless to say I was impressed and very appreciative of the service, and will be calling for the next load. Over the phone estimate was spot on, as well - not to mention less than it would have cost me to rent a truck and helper to do the job myself.
- Approximate cost of services:
- $330.00
