For the past 5-6 years, we have called Ray (Smart Recycling) for just about everything "appliance" one could have. From refrigerators, to deep freezers, to a former bar under counter 4 door cooler, Ray has always been Jonnie on the spot. I call, he's always super friendly from the start, follows through every time, and takes the time to personally chat with his customers. Couldn't ask for a better guy to call for removal. Highly recommend Smart Recycling!

I was very happy to come across Smart Recycling to dispose of a mini fridge That has been in my way for weeks. They came shortly after I called and I was surprised it was that easy and efficient. Plus I didn't have to go to the landfill and pay their prices for appliance disposal. Will definitely do business with Smart Recycling again!

We tore down a trampoline and my neighbor suggested calling Smart Recycling. They were out there the next day to pick up the metal pieces. They even took a few pieces that weren't metal and disposed of them for us. Smart Recycling couldn't have been any easier to work with. I would recommend them to anyone trying to get rid of metal.
