Town of Brookhaven Landfill — Local services in Town of Brookhaven

Very stressful first experience at the Brookhaven Landfill. I came to dump waste oil. I couldn't find any limit posted online. I just cleaned out my yard and I had about 15 gallons with me as well as many empty containers in my open single axel trailer. When I arrived I was told they had a limit of 10 gallons. I asked if I could dump 10 gallons and take the rest with me, which they agreed to. I pulled 10 gallons out of the trailer and set them on the ground. I started emptying the containers when an employee came over and started taking more containers out of my trailer. I told the employee that they said 10 gallons up front but he repeatedly told me it was fine and not to worry. He was emptying my trailer while I poured my 10 gallons. Sure enough it was not fine, as when I got to the exit they wanted to charge me. They were saying that employee is not a scale operator so whatever he said didn't matter. They withheld my driver license and argued with me. After I had a manager get involved to explain the situation, I was given my licence back. They need better communication between employees, and really that employee who went into my trailer to empty it and say it would all be fine needs to learn the rules of the place he works at. I really was trying to do all the right things and their own employees led me...

This morning American Waste Garbage Truck picked up one of my Garbage cans and left the small garbage can that wasn’t even full Untouched did not remove the garbage in the can.My Neighbors have complaints about this Driver and his workers.I came out and seen the garbage truck drive away .I got in my truck and asked the worker in the back of the Truck Why he did not remove my garbage .He tells me the small can was to Heavy.My small can wasn’t even full there was nothing Heavy in the can.I also had a garbage bag included in it.I approached the Driverand asked him why his workers did not pick up the garbage.He ignored Me and kept Driving.I called the Town of Brookhaven Waste and made an complaint.She told me to make sure I emailed as well.This is Terrible .They are getting paid without doing their job.This Driver and His workers did makes it bad for all the Hard workers that does their Job.They just don’t care at all.The Truck number is E11 .The truck says American Waste...

I give this particular landfill 5 stars and a standing ovation. I've been a loyal customer for 3 years. All of the staff is warm, welcoming and helpful, to say the LEAST. The views of the highest point from Woodside Avenue are breathtaking, especially in the winter when it's snowing. Another reviewer commented that the hours don't allow for more than one trip, but I simply can't understand how that is possible. Unless you're coming from another state. In that case, I hope you find a closer landfill, although I do understand that you would travel such far distances to use THIS one. However, the lack of stars awarded leads me to believe that it might be an employee of a competing landfill in an effort to drive business away from Brookhaven. Please disregard his/her comment, and trust me, if you use the Brookhaven Landfill you will NOT be disappointed. Two thumbs up. P.S. Love the photo!! Birds love...
