Helpful and professional!

"Very friendly staff at the scales and in the warehouses. The colleagues are always very helpful when I empty my roll-off containers. Even now in winter, when everything is frozen solid, they immediately get to work emptying the containers. Thanks guys, you're great.
Not to forget the office staff!
