    This is what's left over after Local Waste Services picks up trash in the neighborhood. They leave more behind than they pick up!!

    This is the WORST Waste Management Company ever!! The Mob does a better job!! As the photo shows, this is what it normally looks like after they pick up on trash day. They leave more trash behind than they pick up. If you are late on your bill, they will stop picking up your trash. Yet, there are people in the neighborhood that do not pay their trash bill ever... But they still pick up their trash. I have a neighbor that NEVER pays his trash bill, so he always puts his 2 trash barrels with the neighbor's trash barrel. Mind you, Local Waste Services say they will only empty ONE BARREL per property. Then why are they emptying 3 barrels at this property?? They don't even follow their own rules!! That is 100% ILLEGAL DUMPING!! And nobody cares?? But, we are FORCED to follow their rules!! You can't call the Police, they say it's a Civil matter, and if you call Local Waste Services, they do nothing about it!! Why are any of us paying these people?? Not to mention, their receptionists are complete BIT***S!!! Rude as can be & nasty to the core. Obviously, the company doesn't give a crap about good customer service either. If you ever have to call them, it's usually the same 2 people and they do not care about why you are calling!! If you ever have to call and complain about some thing, you will find that out real quick. Why am I paying their exorbitant trash bills when I can just put it on my neighbor's property?!?! This company has completely changed all of their rules for trash collection, and to top it off, they have raised their prices!! Since I have lived in Whitehall for the past eight years, the prices for trash collection has tripled!! When is the community going to come together and do something about Local Waste Services?? We are being ripped off, and provided with terrible service!! And if you have to call them, you are provided with total attitude by girls that have no business in customer service!! This is the first time in my life I have ever had to complain about waste management. I have never seen a waste management company that is so terrible at their job!! And they know that you have no other choice, so they use that to their advantage to treat you like the garbage they collect. I guess I will have to call the Mayor's office in order to get anything done about this.

    I never expected a junk haul to end in a group hug. If you want a team that treats your home, your…read morebelongings, and you with real respect, this is who to call. Five stars don't feel like enough. Their commitment to treating people and belongings with respect and zero judgment drew us to them initially; that promise held up completely in person. The fees were very reasonable and the experience was great from start to finish. I got an appointment within a day and a half; the appointment time window was only 30 min (practically unheard of!); they texted confirming their actual ETA and arrived on schedule; and they were kind, careful, and efficient. They'd already exceeded expectations, but at the end, they volunteered to move some heavy items I wasn't getting ride of into the garage. One grabbed a broom while in the garage and swept fallen leaves and sticks away from the entrance. Another grabbed a hand truck (with permission) and stacked a few bags of compost on it so it would be easier for me to move it around the yard. They were so observant and thoughtful. By the time they left, they'd practically turned into motivational speakers, showing a level of kindness and encouragement that made me genuinely felt cared for. I truly couldn't be happier.

    Had a sizable hoard of trash in my bedroom from years of piling junk. About 14 kitchen waste bags…read moreworth. Also some electronic waste, old clothing/shoes, and a tv. Way more than I could put on the curb. It was raining and two days just before New Year's and these two women came the morning after I contacted them! Cost $175! It's rare when the price I imagine is the price I get. No surprises, very reasonable. I chose Mary and Michelle because they not only take your garbage but also donate worthwhile items to the homeless in your stead. Very sweet women and very fair service!

    This review is based mainly on the functionality of the website and their hidden pricing tactics…read more I'm writing this so others can avoid the mistake I made and be better informed consumers (see pics for pricing). I needed to get rid of a couch. It's an L-shaped 'sectional' couch in the sense it has two pieces that slide together. However, it is overall not too big (both pieces approx 6 feet long by 3 feet wide). It's made of run of the mill fabric and all cushions and pills are removable. It's incredibly light weight. Options I considered were Facebook marketplace, donating to Salvation Army or Habitat for Humanity, or a junk removal service. I didn't want to deal with strangers on Facebook marketplace, so figured I'd save that for last resort. Donating to Salvation Army or Habitat for Humanity seemed like the best idea. However, the Habitat for Humanity website is rather difficult to navigate and I struggled to find an easy way to schedule a pick up. Salvation Army offers a pick up service, but they only come on Fridays (in my area) and there's no timeframe given. Thus, I found myself on the 1-800-GOT-JUNK website which has several problems of its own. The biggest, though, is the lack of transparent pricing. After following some links saying I could get a quote by entering basic information, I was surprised to find out that instead of receiving a quote online, I had actually booked an in-person appointment. This seemed incredibly misleading, but I figured might as well have them come out, that way they are already here and can take the couch. Looking back, this is exactly what their marketing scheme is because it's a lot harder to tell someone "no" in person, when they are standing there willing to haul something away. I did end up getting a coupon via email, and added that to my appointment. However, on the day of the appointment I was told the coupon was not valid because of the fine print, which states "Valid for participating franchises only. Offer not valid on standard item pricing or minimum loads. No cash value. Cannot be combined with any other promotion. Not applicable to booked or scheduled jobs." The key part is 'offer not valid on standard item pricing,' which apparently removal of a couch is consider to be part of their standard item pricing. Welp folks, it costs a lot more than you could imagine to get "junk" hauled away. Because my couch has two pieces and is therefore a 'sectional', the price was $238. The crazy thing about this is that for an individual couch, the removal fee is $109. That's right, you could have 2 separate couches removed for a cheaper price than 1 two-piece sectional. I pointed this out to the employees who came and they agreed it seemed silly. I even asked if they would consider my two sectional pieces as two individual couches to save some money, but that didn't work. I understand that some "sectionals" may have more than 2 pieces, might be made of leather, with potentially reclining seat features that make it incredibly heavy. For that, I would understand charging more than two individual couches. But it just seemed astronomical for how small and lightweight my couch was. The most frustrating part is that I fell for their hidden price, on-site quote tactics and ended up just saying screw it, they're already here and can take my item right now, so I succumbed to the $238 fee. But, the rest of the day I had a huge pit in my stomach realizing how much I had spent to remove a couch. Am I glad the couch is gone? Yes. Do I feel like I got absolutely fleeced? Also yes. Would I ever use 1-800-GOT-JUNK again? Absolutely not, I'd rather take my chances leaving my item near an alley dumpster. If I had it to do over, I would rent a U-haul and take it to a donation center myself, as this would have been way cheaper. The only reason I'm giving this 2 stars instead of 1 is because the employees were extremely friendly and respectful. They communicated well leading up to and on the day of my appointment. I hope this review helps others, and at the very least, allows others to be informed of their prices via the uploaded pictures.
