Prices Change Like I Change My Underwear....!

Sooo, 3 Short Months ago, I took my trailer into the yard in Harrison AR,. I Paid $33.00 for a Load, as they said.

I just went yesterday to dump another load as I recently bought a property filled with Junk, Scrap and Garbage everywhere that was left on the property, I have a 14ft Trailer, the lady told me yeah, a 14ft Trailer is $164.00 dollars, I was shocked to say the least, I told her 3 months ago it was $33.00 Dollars, she said no it wasn't, so I believe the guy who said they're full of deceit and lies...! I went to Methvin and I had 800lbs of crap in my truck and trailer, It was $64.00 dollars to dump, more than fair, DO NOT GO TO LRS any longer, if you have bulk, Go to Methvin, They ARE LIARS and CHEATS...!!!

You should honor what you tell the customer. Six promises to replace. They are terrible at customer service.

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. The dumpster that was overflowing with garbage since November was picked up this morning. Hopefully it will be emptied on a regular basis, thank you.

Original review Feb 07, 2024

There is a dumpster that is from Lakeshore Recycling and the address for the business it belongs to says FLOYD'S 27 E HARRISON, for Floyds 99 Barbershop located at 27 east Harrison, Chicago, Illinois 60605.

This dumpster has not been picked up in over a month, and it is never picked up by your company unless someone from our neighborhood calls and complains. Its is always overflowing with garbage and we think it is a dangerous situation because it is adjacent to a high school, restaurants, student housing, and senior citizens housing.

This has been going on for over a year.

Called and emailed LRS last week and was assured the dumpster would be serviced, unfortunately it is still overflowing with garbage.

Absolutely the worst service there is

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I would give a lower rating if I could. Absolutely the worse company to deal with.

The amount of times you have to call and bed them to do what you have paid them to do is ridiculous. And don't arrange for them to pick up anything extra. They will charge you immediately and then come up with a different reason every day why they couldn't do it and then when they have finally fun out of reasons they will still not pick it up because it isn't your regular day. Never mind you paid extra and if they had done what they were supposed to on the original day it would have been your scheduled day.

Managers are just as rude as customer service, they do a lousy job and make excuses for their employees ta not work and do what they have been contracted to do. They apparently don't care about a bad review as there are tons of them.

Hoping to save at least one person from the same aggravation we have dealt with. Appealing to the city of Sugar Grove to immediately end the contract with them.

Horrible service

These people have flat out lied to me about picking up a dumpster for weeks. Everyday I call they tell me that dispatch has it scheduled for the next day.

I have talked to at least four different people but the manager is never available.

After the first two no shows they told me that they would need paperwork for this. I got the paperwork and after a number of phone calls I am know on the third missed pick up with no explanation and i have to start over every time.

Updated by user Sep 01, 2023

They offered me a meager settlement only if I signed to never retaliate even for future incidents on their part without me being fined

Original review Sep 01, 2023
First they reported to my bill that I was calling for extra pickups each day by stating they forgot me after picking my trash up. This got me on a watch list according to email I received through FOIA.

This was a complete lie on their part.
Then they escalated about 2 months later by stating to the village that I was putting bulk items on all my neighbors properties in order to take advantage of the system. Also completely untrue. The village and them decided to shut down my service with out even contacting me. I had to fight everyone including the mayors bully tactics to get restored.

They denied all and said a driver was mistaken, I talked to the driver who confirmed management made up said lies. After proving them wrong they refused to apologize, compensate me for the lies, rumors and slander.

They did offer a meager settlement only if I agreed never to share this incident or any others in the future should they happen or be fined heftily. Corporate lying bullies who should be held responsible for their actions against the little guy.

Very unpleasant customer service!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I sold my house and moved to another in the same town. My closed account had a credit of 60 dollars.

I did not realize that until four months later. I assumed that they did applied it to my new account ( being the same company)or they reimbursed it to my credit card linked to my account. But no. I accidentally logged into my old account and found out.

Called the customer service.

Very unpleasant and rude customer response. The person basically stated the fact that the credit is sitting on my old closed account from July and we are in December.

Nobody would never do anything about it.

Main reason though I am writing this is I am in dismay how awful the customer service is. They barely acknowledge you, treating you like inevitable pest.

LRS made a big mistake dealing with me regarding a roll off box. They have made no attempts to solve the issue or even communicate with me. I am not looking for something for nothing but the facts clearly are in my favor and should rightfully be addressed by them.

Original review Aug 16, 2023

It is amazing how poorly managed this company is. They hide behind voicemail and will not respond to customer concerns.

Even their responses to poor ratings must be AI created. Their "customer experience manager" will not reach out leaving customers with problems that are unresolved.

Poor customer service and failure to deliver what was paid for

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Lakeshore Recycling Systems - Poor customer service and failure to deliver what was paid...

It's seems a common theme for Lakeshore Recycling across all their negative reviews here and elsewhere is a failure to deliver on contractual obligations coupled with a failure to remedy the situation when they don't do what they are paid to do. On top of that, the customer service group is inept.

Specifically, they don't have tools to correct the situation or they've been instructed to not correct, hope for the best and make the customer call back a second time and escalate. In our case, our condo association pays Lakeshore Recycling to pick up our recycling three times a week. Instead, we often just get one pickup. This week, we got zero pickups despite my having complained on Thursday to make sure I'd get a pickup on Friday; despite the complaint to customer service, nobody came.

This is typical. I complain. They do nothing. I have to call back irate and escalate.

If you enjoy having your blood pressure rise, this is a great vendor for you. Why can't people just do what you pay them to do? Customer service seems to be declining everywhere, but Lakeshore Recycling is leading the pack for poor service. I have to get a new vendor.

But first I'd like others to know that this is not a vendor to be trusted. It's not a vendor that cares about the customer.

You're just a means to their EBITDA earnings targets and if they cut a few corners on service, and miss some of your pickups, it just helps them to hit their numbers, get their executive bonuses and eventually sell out. Recommendation: Avoid them at all costs.

Pros:
  • Garbage pickup has been ok
Cons:
  • Apologies and credits are never offered
  • Escalation is the only way to get service
  • Recycling pick up is very unreliable

Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

User's recommendation: Avoid them at all costs...unless you enjoy high blood pressure.

I have yet to receive a credit after calling 6 different times

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have called six different times about a billing error and each time I am told it is taken care of. The customer service department is very inept and constantly tells untruths.

I need this charge removed from my account. It is showing 31 days past due which is ridiculous.

I have always paid my bill on time. Had this credit been applied immediately this would not have occurred.

11 months for the refund of my money. 11 months?

Hundreds of phone calls, being lied to and given false phone number who to call. Lie's nothing but lie's. Then a paper check is sent instead of re-credit of card which you want before service. Hot knowing where service begins or ends.

Even as of today, I am in the service area, but you still say no. Hire a different service!

Breach of contract/False accusations

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

In January 2022 Steven reported to my Village (Wauconda) that I was refilling my waste toters on garbage day after pickup and calling them to come by and empty them again, claiming they missed me. This is absolutely not true, nor have they provided and records or evidence of such claim.

His intention was to put me on a watchlist for further incidents per his email which Ive obtained through FOIA.

In March, he then contacted them again to claim that I was now putting bulk items of furniture sets on my neighbors properties to circumvent our contracted service. This was also untrue and I have signed witness statements from my neighbors refuting this lie.

This lead my village to shut down that portion of my service which took me a week and a half and much work to restore. My village has claimed that they still believe their reports even though service is fully restored and refuses to hold the company responsible like they did me. This company now denies these blatant lies, stating that a driver merely noted that pickup was out of the ordinary.

The evidence given to me clearly shows otherwise and somebody should be held accountable for abusing my rights and government resources instead of trying to sweep this under the rug like it never happened. Please advise my options to make this right as a consumer whose rights were violated by big corporation lies and small government mismanagement of due process.

Thank you, Robert (JR) Meyers

I call them 3 weeks ago for an additional garbage container, well they gave me date after date for that container to be delivered but never happened, I tried calling them multiple times I have always received the same answer, that they will bring it on a certain date but it never happens, I have talked to a manager there and she seems not to care enough. they definitely do not care about any customer, can you imagine if that's how much they care for an additional service you requesting now imagine when talking about an overcharge this people are not worth it believe me
