I have been a Pro Disposal customer since I first bought my house, back in 2009. And I had been a very content Pro Disposal customer up until the last few weeks. Usually, they pick up my trash and recycling like clockwork (though I wish they and many other companies would give us weekly recycling pick up rather than bi-weekly, because honestly my household generates more recycling per week than trash).
There have been a few times when my recycling seemed to be passed over and I had to wait until the next pick-up. Usually it has not been too overwhelming and my life is so busy I barely take notice. However, I currently have a huge pile of recycling that has been sitting outside since May 26th. According to my -calendar- that they sent me in the mail, that was my pick-up day. My trash was picked up, but either the recycling was forgotten or passed over.
I emailed them this past week just to be -sure- that they would pick it up this Friday, June 10th (which is the next pick-up day according to my calender), or even pick it up earlier since my pile is getting large and making my yard look like crap.
The response email I got was not the nice customer service I was expecting. I was told that it would cost me an extra $25 if I wanted them to come out and do a special pick-up, and otherwise I needed to wait until my next pick-up day on the 17th. My calender does not say the 17th is a pick-up day, but even if it is, that means that 3rd would also have been a pick-up day, but alas... my recycling still sits.
I know it's not a holiday issue, either, because I have not moved the recycling from the curb since May. It's been there, waiting for pick-up...
And as of yesterday (the 10th) my recycling AND now my trash have still not been picked-up.
Anyone have a good recommendation for a new trash provider? Apparently my complaining has made them stop providing me any service at all. Talk about great customer service...
EDIT: July of 2012. I've been with EDS since cancelling with Pro Disposal. Have had not one single problem. Last year, I talked to someone at Pro Disposal about cancelling and having my payment refunded (I was one month into a three-month period I had already paid for). However, after several weeks I still had not seen a check. I sent an email complaint about not getting the refund, and again never received a response. It's been nearly a year and they never refunded my money. I am tired of dealing with their "customer service," so I decided not to call and continue to beg for my money. Definitely left a sour taste in my mouth. read more
