Really cool staff at this place! The loader operator went out of his way to help. Super friendly guy! Will definitely utilize this place over the city dump.

I had some issues with a junk remover company and I was helped by a person on-site. I forgot to get her name but she was very helpful and went above and beyond to help me try and locate my stuff. The staff were so friendly there as well. The area was clean and maintained!

I still go to ECCO regularly & for a while now, I haven't seen creepy Barry at all! Thank you! I have changed from 1 star to a 5.

Original review
My boyfriend accidentally left a TV I had in the truck for my daughter at ECCO in the electronic recycling pile.
When I learned he left the TV at ECCO, I went back there to retrieve it.
I was just leaving ECCO when an employee approached my vehicle, who very rudely accused me of stealing the t.v, demanding I put it back into the recycling pile.
Even though it was my TV, I had bad anxiety, and his overall demeanor and demands made me feel so uncomfortable that I ended up leaving it behind.
I feel like every time I go there, if he is there, he is creeping on me, staring at me, and now he's confronting me, accusing me of stealing my own things.
He's accusing me of taking things when the previous time I was there, he was actually looking through the recycling himself, putting things to the side of the bin.
The TV I was pressured into leaving there was a nice TV, maybe he wanted it himself or maybe he is just a bad creep. Or both.
At any rate, if you're a woman, beware of ECCOs employee BARRY because he's a super disrespectful rude creep.
Other than that, it's a good place to recycle electronics, cardboard, plastic, etc.
If Barry wasn't there, I would rate better than 1 star for sure.

I go to this place as convenient location and most of the time is a good place and the old ladies are really nice and efficient. This one star rating goes for the young girl who lack customer service and after making mistakes doesnt even apologise after charging extra and is very rude in explanation.Thankfully i realised later and got
She should learn a thing or 2 from the older ladies.

Don’t waste your money here. This is a privately owned dump, and they have a $55 minimum charge which is over double the city of Calgary rate of $25. I dropped off a couple hundred pounds of particleboard, and the bill was 56.19 after-tax. Ridiculous.

Came here just before close on Saturday. Was unsure where to drop my electronics. One of the guys working there helped me with a smile. I didn't catch his name but thank you to the mid to late 20s looking guy who helped me out with my stuff from my minivan.

Only comment about the place in general is better signage for public electronics drop-off. Only comment about electronics drop-off in the city in general which isn't ECCO's fault is there needs to be more, and better public awareness. Some places only take certain things also, which is frustrating.
