Refrigerator pick up

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

I was told the refrigerator was gonna be picked up Friday. To realizing nobody was coming, Ifinally called and I was told there was a back up on Friday, and she said somebody screwed up because it was supposed to be picked up on Monday and they had no idea that the refrigerate a sat in front of my house for a whole week.

She was very apologetic and had them at my house first thing the next morning. So they come at 6:15 AM and we dont know what day were doing but they made a loud flashing noise like they took the refrigerator and just throw it in the back of the truck. I dont know why they were so loud, but it was suggested maybe because theyre the ones who forgot to pick it up on Monday and they were mad.

Maybe they got in trouble we dont know all I know is they couldnt have been any louder at 6:15 AM. So its fair to say my service sucked!!

I was parked in a parking lot near a locked trash area in Dallas, TX. As the truck pulled up to the fenced-in area, the driver proceeded to get out of his vehicle and discard a can and an empty bag of beef jerky onto the ground.

I was absolutely dumbfounded at what I had just witnessed. A public servant doing the complete opposite of the job he is paid to do. I'm not sure if anyone cares, but your driver certainly didn't. When I mentioned it to him, he just threw his hands in the air as if to say, 'So what.' Plate # Texas VHP6219.

Truck #1755.

11:30 a.m. on Friday, Oct 4th.

I feel that once garbage trucks the bins they should pick up whatever trash is left with the broom because its not nice. Its unhealthy and its like I dont care and its really really very unprofessional.Ps once the empty the garbage dumpsters they should pick up whats left at the like cans, cereal, boxes, and trash

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. The account manager telephoned me after looking at all of the times that my garbage wasn't picked up and looking at the photos that I sent to him, he spoke with someone and now my garbage is being picked up on time!

Original review Aug 17, 2024
I don't believe my expectations are too high. I expect that once a week my garbage is picked up. I completely understand that there are environmental factors that may cause delays, but it has been almost one year since my garbage was picked up on time. Approximately once a month, I have to call the customer service line and report a missed pickup. It is often days later, or sometimes they just don't come for that week. As I read through the other reviews, it is evident that this is a problem everywhere. Out of 1,518 reviews, 85% of them are one star. I'm sure that more customers would complain but they've given up! This shows this is a systemic problem with your company. Not only are you unreliable but you don't respond well to complaints about service.

Trash day is scheduled for Wednesday. Sometimes, our street is skipped with no communication, other times only I or one of my neighbors is skipped. When I call customer service, I am told to leave the trash out and it will be picked up in 24 hours. Since when is 24 hours the weekend or the next week? The company's customer service is a joke. If you manage to get a customer service representative you can actually understand, you can expect to be told whatever it takes for them to get you off the phone. Why hire representatives that can't speak English well? Several calls, same result. A big fail! Missed pickup on a Wednesday, called, promised pickup within 24 hrs, called every day, now it's Saturday and the trash is still waiting to be picked up.

I complained to the township supervisor’s office about this and have been told that they are aware of the problem and working with Republic Services to correct the problem. Unfortunately, I don't have the option to use another company. If I could give them zero stars, I would. Stay away from using this company!

Poor customer service

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

This company has the worst customer service. They get the billing wrong, and it takes forever to fix.

Then they add charges and raise rates. DO NOT RECOMMEND

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

This company is the worst. Miss pickup way too many times & then wants to raise rates!

When you call customer service it seems like they want to push you to wait until your next pickup.

Really, WTH!!! They always have an excuse for everything

The truck driver extended the claw before reaching my trash can, which is 9 feet away from my vehicle, and tore out my back window. No one is answering the phone to make someone aware of the issue. I have filed a police report on the matter.

I have not had my trash picked up in 10 days! I was promised by Kim in customer service, it would be handled today!

I called and talked with her on several occasions and she promised Me it would be picked up today. I have had this happen on numerous occasions.

Terrible service ever

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

I ordered a 40-yard dumpster to clear out furniture and clothing from my property, but it arrived late, leaving my workers idle and still charging me. After countless frustrating calls, the wrong dumpster was delivered a few days later - a 10-yard one for construction cement, costing me $1,100!

After numerous calls and being put on hold indefinitely, they want me to pay an additional $1,100 for the correct 40-yard dumpster next week. They refused to correct their mistake and charged me more. This entire experience has been a nightmare, wasting my time and money due to their incompetence. This company's monopoly allows them to treat customers with blatant disregard.

I refuse to pay for their mistake and urge everyone to avoid this company at all costs.

Their service is disgraceful, and they will exploit you for their own errors. Stay away!
