I became acquainted with Betty and Rubbish Works through a networking group, and have had the extreme pleasure of doing business with them. Her company loves to exceed expectations by not only getting rid of your rubbish, but also making sure that as much as possible is reused, re-purposed and recycled. If you have to throw stuff away, make sure you do it the proper Portland way by using this service that has a heart. This is NOT a run-of-the-mill disposal service. They will enter your home or business and sort through the piles to determine what needs to go to the dump and what is salvageable. If the idea of sending perfectly good stuff to the dump makes you sick but you don't have the time to sort and make all trips to drop-off sites all over town, CALL RUBBISH WORKS! Recently, they gave my business a large white board that they had been asked to dispose of from a large corporate site. They once gave a large number of empty bottles to a needy family to recycle and make a large sum of money in bottle deposits. Another time they donated their services to someone suffering from cancer. Betty and Larry have a passion for helping people and making a difference. They embody the Portland spirit!
