Its was very convenience to go to this location. Quick and great customer services.I went there to dropped of my daughter's mattress. I drove up to the weighing section, and continue into the warehouse; they unloaded from my truck. Services request was honored. read more

These guys will screw you! read the fine print, they make charges up and make you pay them. You rented a small container, they apparently sent a guy out to "check on it", and they charged me $81.24 just for a guy to check on it. Fines, fees, additional charges! There are lots of containers to be rented in OC, do not rent from these guys. Carlos (wouldn't give me his full name) was the guy who called and screwed me, this guys customer service was non existent. CR&R is a bad company. They have a monopoly on this trash business, they can screw you over and laugh at you. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Happy to walk you through how they screwed me, laughed about it and Carlos the "customer service" person just not a good guy. I told him I never asked for a guy to come "check on it", how could that be my responsibility? Bad companies need to be called out so they have the chance to make things right. Otherwise, go in with caution. Rich read more

CR&R Waste Services - Utilities Near Me - Stanton, California

On our organics bin that we've had for 4+ years, it says "food solid paper" so like greasy paper and paper plates and that stuff... we've always put this stuff in the bin no problem but today they left our bin and wrote "no trash" on the lid. it is not trash as it is food solid paper (fast food bags from in n out and mc donald's WITH food scraps inside them and a COMPOSTABLE bag of food scraps!) if they don't want this stuff in it, they shouldn't label the lid saying they accept it. so now we have a smelly bin with food scraps for another week. 3rd bad experience this year. (1st time, mixing all 3 types of carts in the same truck new years week, and 2nd was a few weeks ago they leaked trash juice everywhere and said they would clean it up but they never did!) read more

See all

placed a bulk removal for the following week, placed my items listed the night before and they did not pick up. I called the business and Isabel said the people that were scheduled to pick up the items noted that there was nothing there. Of course they are lied. Sounds lazy to me. So now i gotta wait another week. Definitely calling monday for a follow up read more

Double charged me and refused to acknowledge their mistake!!! I made numerous phone calls and sent several emails, all were ignored. I guess this is what you get with a monolopy. read more

I have been a customer for over 30 years. ACH charges of $30 / month for the last two months have been billed to my account. I believe they are in error. I have been told that I am the only customer in the history of the organization that has faced this issue. I have been in contact with its Customer Service dept over 10 times over the last two months with no sight of resolution. I suggested that we escalate this issue to give it additional visibility to resolve and learn from this issue. read more

The company just posted numerous jobs especially in the accounting department. I can only hope this leads to substantial improvement in their residential billing department. Since the beginning of contracting with city of Laguna Beach, it's been a quagmire of overbilling and mistaken billing with no solution in sight. After countless customer service conversations, just when I think it's been solved, it starts all over again. So much time spent, they should be paying me. Just FYI - if you should need to call customer service- ask for Sylvia, Austin, or Adrianna. They're the best at what they do despite the inefficiency of other departments. read more

If I could give no stars I would. Over the past 6-7 months , CR&R has missed my pick up 3 times and each time I get the run around. No accountability, horrible customer service and zero follow through. The latest incident was Saturday. All the recycle bins on my block were picked up and the driver missed mine. Since it was Saturday, their offices were closed so I called first thing Monday morning. They promised it would be picked up by 6p, and it was not. I called again yesterday morning (Tuesday) and they once again assured me it would be picked up. I called again on Tuesday at 4:30pm since it was not yet picked up and if I waiting until 6 their offices would be closed. Was assured it would be picked up. Surprise suprise it was not. I asked for a refund or credit and they said it was not possible since the service would be completed. Now its Wednesday, and once again I called. They are now telling me they are backed up and no driver can come until the regular pick up day. So at this point I need a refund since services have not been rendered, and yet they refuse. Absolute pieces of sh*t who have no care for their customers. read more

This company is beyond useless. Missed collections. They charge for services not provided and drag their feet on everything. They're lucky they are protected by city contracts, otherwise they would be out of business. read more

If I could give this company negative stars I would. The driver hit my mailbox in MAY. It's JULY and after weekly, sometimes daily calls I am getting no response, no call back. Nothing. They keep telling me they'll repair it and get someone out for a new one but I have gotten nowhere. I can't believe the lack of customer service. I have never been this disappointed and frustrated with a company but of course, I don't have a choice in trash services so this is what I'm stuck with. Disgusting company read more

CR&R Service in La Habra is a joke. I scheduled bulky items pick up service. Only one of 4 items was picked up. Spoke to a supervisor on the phone. Was told they couldn't pick up those items. Well you told me you would pick them up and you did before! Why the policy changes? Why so picky about residential items.. Answer - To save land fill costs they're deny their customers. The CS agent said it was free. Are you joking? I checked my bill and see the chargers I pay. CR&R is discriminating against different types of trash. Trash is trash. Get over yourself. Pick up my trash like I pay you to do every month. Stop these phony excuses for not doing your job and stop the elitist attitudes. It's trash not items, they are trash cans not bins, and get back over here and pick up this trash today! . read more

They constantly lie!! Missed our entire street. Called the next day and was told they would be out that day, by 4:45 pm called again was told they were en route and of course nobody ever came. 14 other houses on block also called and were told this was the first time they heard about the entire block being missed. Called this morning and was told they would escalate it to "Operations". I asked for a call back and so far nothing. They close in 40 minutes. Second time in a month an entire street was missed. They have all new drivers, and they really don't care. read more

Absolute horrible service. They constantly miss pick ups and don't provide any credit for missed pick ups. I call every day and every day they tell me tomorrow they will pick it up. Tomorrow comes, they don't pick up, I call again. They assure me they're escalating the situation and it will be picked up the next day. Next day - no pick up. Recycling and Trash Bins are overflowing and very unsightly, they could not care less. Must be nice to have a business that is mandated by the city to be used - no competition creates HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! The city needs to make a change to a company deserving of the contract. I just received my letter saying rates are going up AGAIN next month. Every year they raise the rates and continue to provide HORRIBLE SERVICE! Contact your city and request a new provider be contracted! If enough people call the city perhaps there will be some change, if you just keep calling CR&R you'll just keep getting BS LIES! They DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS! read more

Organic Waste Can hadn't been picked up in over 4 weeks. They FINALLY picked up after I made 5 complaint calls. Now, its been another 3 weeks since the last pick up. I've made 3 calls so far. The "service" from CR&R has been TERRIBLE. If my HOA pays even a penny to CR&R- its too much. We deserve a Refund for the last 2 months. read more

I've had to put up with these clowns for years. I don't give out one-star reviews lightly, a company truly has to earn it. Unfortunately, the city chooses which garbage company I must use but if I had a truck I'd strongly consider hauling my own trash to a landfill. Every week I'm out sweeping the refuse that is spilled from my bins (as well as my neighbors') as the drivers can't seem to empty them properly. I always adhere to their requirements: I put bins out the night prior to pick up, lids closed, 3 feet apart and away from the curb. For a decade, about once every 3 months they miss one of my bins. Every time I call and tell them my bin was missed they tell me a truck will be by the next day to pick it up. Customer service is obviously trained to lie about this because they NEVER do come back. I see this lie is common practice from reading other reviews. The reality is, if they don't pick up your trash you just need to wait until your next trash pick-up day and hope for the best. I can handle the incompetence of these dolts not being able to operate a mechanical arm that lifts a bin and dumps it into a truck. But a company that repeatedly lies so often that it becomes policy is unacceptable. read more

Missed my "green" bin pick-up. Called the next day as soon as they opened. They started it would be picked up today, between the time I called and 6pm. Never picked up. Called the next day, same exact story. Bin never picked up. Hopefully they don't miss me 2 weeks in a row read more

The absolute worst waste management company there is. On four separate occasions I have ordered bulky item pick ups and on four separate occasions they have not picked up. This means I have to call all of my bulky items all the way back in my garage and find a location for them while I wait for another appointment day. Multiple times they simply don't pick up on the rescheduled appointment day either. If I could give zero stars I would and this company should not be in business. They absolutely suck ass. read more

Garbage company (pun not interested). Terrible service. Lack of customer support. If you can avoid using this company, do so and save yourself the headache. I was suppose to have a roll off dumpster delivered and it never showed up. Customer service couldn't even explain why. Don't you think if your in charge of an major operation such as CCR that you'd have answers for your inadequacies??? They could NOT pull it together. read more

Our city of Laguna recently changed to them. Their trucks are so loud. It disrupts my life. Waste Management trucks were a lot more energy, efficient and quiet. read more

I'd pay double to use a competitor. Order a dumpster, never showed, called 3x. useless company

The drivers are careless out on the road. Today a driver was merging into my lane while I was coming through, I had a green light and he didn't seem to care. As he is pulling up next to me he stares me down.. Great job!! For the customers that don't get their trash picked up, why not be polite and take your trash to the corporate yard and save them the trouble of driving to pick it up... read more

The trash and recycle pick up here in Lake Forest is okay but the green waste is not. I called today (12/30/25) due to another missed pick up and was told my green waste pick up would take place before 6pm. At 7:10 pm I checked and.. surprise, surprise (NOT) they did not come. We live in a complex where the choice is not ours to use CR&R or not. The group that handles the green waste pick up sucks!! The office employee who took the call was nice, so this is not on her but on the team who handles green waste pick up. They should be ashamed.. other neighbors also had non- pick ups for green waste. This has happened multiple times. read more

Unbelievably terrible customer service. I spent over an hour on the phone attempting to have a recycling bin replaced. I am still not sure if it will be done. CR&R has zero regard for their customers. I will be petitioning my city to replace them. read more

So I mistakenly set up bill payer from my bank for monthly withdrawal instead of every three months!! When I received a bill stating that owed $500+ I knew something was wrong. I checked with my financial institution and saw all the payments. I sent all these documents over to them and it took three weeks for them to get back to me. This has been going on since March 2025. Once the error was discovered with the documents I sent, it took another 2 weeks for them to tell me how much the overpayment was to the tone of $800+. The check was supposed to have been sent May 12th. To date, no check and they continue to lie and give me the runaround. read more

Service is terrible. Constantly having to call due to missed pickups. Called again twice this week alone about a missed can. Was told both times a driver would be there shortly. Then a driver will be there tomorrow. Nothing. No pickups or call backs to see if everything was taken care of. Just shitty services all the way around. Wish we could switch companies. Would do it in a heartbeat read more

I am tired of calling this company over and over and over and over about missing trash pick ups. The business stinks and that's a compliment. Most recently they missed our pick up again. The customer service guy who answered when I called was dismissive. He said leave the cart out we'll come get the trash today. That was yesterday. It's still full. Losers. read more

This company does not care about its customers. My trash was not picked up on my designated day because they claimed they never received my payment, even though I received confirmation of my payment. I have called 6 TIMES over the span of 3 days. Each time, I was told that they would call their operations department and get back to me. Never received any return calls. I was assured that my carts would be picked up. To date, they remain overflowing. I am waiting to hear back from my city manager's office as it was suggested by my neighbors to do so. This company is quite literally trash. read more

Absolute pieces of . It looks like they don't even care about the reviews because they don't seem to be responding to them, but I will go ahead and vent here. Organics pick up was Tuesday. They picked up trash and recycling, but didn't pick up our organics can. I understand it's a smaller can it might've been hidden by the bigger cans. But I called them the next day and I will give them credit, they have actually been good about calling me back promptly. That's where any semblance of praise ends. I called them once on Wednesday and they assured me that it would be picked up. It was not. I called them twice on Thursday and they assured me the same thing. It was not. Today is Friday and I have called them every two hours since this morning and each time, they assured me that it would be picked up before 6 PM today. They promised that they have expedited and that the driver is on his way. I don't believe single solitary word they are saying. It's like the customer service agents are encouraged to lie. I bet they have a leaderboard on how many times they can lie to customers and the winner gets a trip to Hawaii. I wouldn't have as big as an issue if it was trash or recycling. But this is the organic bin. It is now filled with maggots and a health hazard. No way am I keeping it in my garage but leaving it out there probably encourages wildlife to come rummaging through it. I wish my HOA can switch companies. This is the absolute worst. read more

CR&R Waste Services - It's been here since Tuesday - Utilities Near Me - Stanton, California

CC&R picked a trash day and decided to drive past and not even consider loading our items. We were even ready to assist. Highly paid and lousy service. We ended up helping our neighbor on the same day because CR&R also left their stuff on the curb. read more

I understand the 1.3 rating. Requested a "bulky" pick-up. This is an extra service, but you're allowed 6 a year, this was my first. Lugged my Cal King, box springs, and broken up desk curbside at 6:00 AM yesterday as instructed because they have a 13-hour window (and you thought cable companies were bad). Twenty-seven hours and three calls later the mattress, et al. is still curbside. My streetsweeper missed the front of my house, my neighbors (and me) still have to look at this and I was told this morning that even though I was missed yesterday, my window for pick-up is still 13 hours. I believe that companies like CR&R, Waste Management, etc. receive city contracts so I don't have a choice in who picks up the waste, but, if the Orange City Manager is reading this, you may want to open the bidding process and kick CR&R "to the curb"...pun absolutely intended! UPDATE...Just called for the 4th time, after what is now 30 hours...was told that they pushed me back until Saturday (that's in two days), no call, no text, no email. I set this time up over a week ago and I've now been relegated to the trash heap...again pun intended! How does this "business" stay in business? UPDATE TO THE UPDATE...Called the city of Orange, left a message, got a call back from an understanding gentleman who said he would call the scheduler and guess what, everything was picked up. Do we really need to contact city government to get the services that we were promised and paid for...I guess so! read more

They don't pick up when they sure, sometimes not at all. Then the lie everyday that they are coming until the next pickup.

The staff answering the phones are friendly enough and they do seem to try to help, but their management is horribly negligent and refuse to call back to resolve issues. I had a dumpster get pushed into my warehouse door by the driver. The first time they denied it and I had to pay to fix it. The second time they accepted responsibility, but it took months to get it resolved. It took cr&r months to pay the company that had to replace the door, so the door company kept calling me for payment. They consistently do not service the dumpster at my office and it takes multiple phone calls and messages to get it handled. I was offered credits because I had to pay my employees to go to the dump and pay dump fees even though I pay for a service to handle this for me. My credit has never been issued and I cannot get a route manager to call me back. Today is Monday and I've been trying to get this most recent nonservice handed since Thursday. read more

I put out bins and Amazon boxes on top of the bins because the guys told me it was easier for them. I have a service where a couple of workers get out and move and empty the bins because the street is too narrow for the truck with the mechanical lift. Today they took the boxes and threw them out on the ground and drove away. The alleged customer service rep told me I was lucky that they took them all this time because the policy is to refuse to take anything not in a bin. I pay $75 per month for this. read more

This company was good at first, and they have progressively gone downhill. They started charging more every quarter, but upon doing so their service got crappier and crappier. They started missing my cans at least ones a month, and this past week they missed it again. I called the next morning, and they said they would be out that day. Did not come out, and was told that they would come out first thing the next day....nope didn't come out. They are a pathetic excuse for a company. It's not hard to get all the cans on a street, especially in a Cul'desac where they got one half of the street but not the other. They really need to get their act together. Not a good company at all as far as their operations department go. When you pay for a service, you expect it to be done properly and timely...I've gotten neither. read more

Apparently my situation isn't unique. After reading through some of the reviews, this seems to be the norm for CR&R. My trash was supposed to be picked up on Tuesday, they missed my organic. I called Wednesday and they said they would come by before 6:00pm. Ummmm... no show. I called again Thursday and they said that they will come by before 6:00pm. Well, you guessed it. Another no show. I called again on Friday and they said that they will come by before 6:00pm. I said ok thanks, and I would like to speak to a manager. I was connected to Crystal, the manager, and I told her that I had called numerous times and she said that they will come by today (Friday). I had high hopes. Sadly, my bubble burst. THE TRUCK DID NOT SHOW ! ! ! I had thought that speaking to a manager would actually get things done. Apparently the Manager is as useless as the call center. I thought about calling the area/district manager, but I'm sure he/she is just as useless because that seems to be the theme, CR&R is useless liars. read more

Horrible customer service all the way through. Missed pick up of cans, send out a notice for a Christmas tree pick up and it doesn't happen until a week later. You would think municipalities in southern ca with all the taxes we pay would have a decent company to PICK UP TRASH CORRECTLY! read more

Great on replacing broken or missing bins. Always on time and tidy. Can't ask for more.

CR&R is constantly raising it's prices while it's services become worse and worse. Getting a large-item is practically impossible, even though it's touted as part of their service. High prices, horrid service, and your only choice. CR&R is a prime example of why monopolies are bad. But at least the CEO gets to have a 32nd summer home, and a few yachts. read more

Francisco was helpful, professional, accommodating, and considerate! The customer service was impressive. Not to mention being able to speak to a live person quickly was appreciated. read more

This trash pick up service is terrible. They dropped of new trash cans at my location but did not pick up the old cans on 20MAR2025. I now have a ridiculous 6 cans! I scheduled them to pick up my cans for 27MAR2025 and they did not pick them up! I labeled my cans for pick up to help the trash guys ID the cans for pick up. I scheduled them again to pick up my cans for 10APR2025 and they did not pick them up again! How many times do I need to contact them to pick up these stupid unwanted excess old trash cans? I never ordered the new cans either, everyone on my block including myself just gets new cans without notice. Terrible Terrible Service. read more
