He charged me $85 which I assume is the minimum, and that’s a pretty low minimum. It wasn’t a complicated problem and didn’t take him long, so I didn’t “run him through the wringer,” as it were, but I thought he was great." Liz Adams: "The non-crossed-out number is Cooper Appliance; the 0397 is his personal cell (the first number might be non-working).

61 | Junk Disposal | Valley Recycling (Rt. 10, Easthampton) | Pricing | Lauren V & Erin | Good for stuff like disposing of old rugs, etc. It’s about 10 minutes away on the way to Easthampton. Drive thru the orange cones on the right after you enter and a person will ask what you have and charge a flat fee./When you drive in, you can choose to weigh your vehicle ($25 minimum, so especially worth it if you have a very full or messy load) or you go to the right through the bright orange cones, and someone will help you… In the case of TV, furniture, AC etc, there are specific disposal fees, so you don’t want to go on the scale for that. Just head through those cones, and you will find help! | 7/1/2026 | |||||||||||||||||||||

97 | Lafond Septic | 413-667-3622 | Linda Kleinerman | His base price for me was $450 (1500 gallon tank) and their is an associated digging fee (mine is only about 1.5 feet down) and was $30. I also knew where the opening was to my tank which saved another small fee. From Sandra H.: I had asked about a discount if multiple LP scheduled their septic tank to be pumped on the same day. They said they’d like to work with LP homeowners, but don’t offer a discount; their services are priced as low as possible. (I think they are cheaper than Greg’s?) Below is an excerpt from a text they sent to me about their prices: Pump out for a 1000g will be $450 and for a 1500g $550. We do offer locating and digging, but we do not dig in parking lots/areas or driveways. To locate a tank we charge $100 per hour and for digging $75 per foot/per lid. Our base risers install price is $300 per foot. | 2022, 2026 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
