Hauled/picked up recycling crunched-up jugs of laundry detergent bottles and these things had plenty of detergent still in them! So by the time I got unloaded, I wasn’t able to pickup another load because my wooden trailer floor on my dry van had detergent liquid smeared all over the entire floor of the trailer!!! Had to get a washout and wait for wooden trailer floor to dry up! And it’s going to take extra long because of the oily liquid!! By the that time all the loads will be taken!!! Never again!!!

On 02/24/2026 at 1:30 PM, a blonde, glasses-wearing male staff member at the scale house, approximately 35–38 years old, once again made me feel uncomfortable. For the past two weeks, I have been bringing South Portland’s trash with the same truck. In order to hear me, he needs to open his own window, but most of the time he does not. Yesterday at 1:30 PM, he did open his window; I clearly told him the load was from South Portland, he said “okay,” and the trash was dumped. However, when I later came to pick up the paperwork, he handed me papers labeled “Saco.” When I told him this was incorrect, he responded in an irritated and aggressive manner, saying, “You’re making things difficult for me, but I will take care of it.” Previously, I always thanked him, but he never responded, so I eventually stopped. I do not understand how it can seem acceptable to treat people this way because of differences in skin color. Racism only creates unnecessary problems for everyone. I strongly disapprove of this behavior.

Ecomaine is such a great place with wonderful people that work there. Except, Dave the loader operator who causes conflict and makes others feel extremely uncomfortable. I have made many complaints, with absolutely no changes whatsoever. There have been numerous times where he used the loader as a scare tactic when driving extremely close to my truck. He has tried to speak to me with the utmost disrespect for any concern he has. I have also had many customers tell me that they will not go there because of this man.
