    When the website says the holiday pushes the day out but they actually come as scheduled...
    Liv G.

    For labor day weekend they advertised one calendar and the trucks came on the regularly scheduled day with no warning/update. I have spent the past 3 weeks trying to get my recycling collected. I have called every day and am told they are coming the next day and to place any additional items next to the bin and they will be collected free of charge... They final came yesterday as it was the next scheduled day for pickup, however the 'extra' items were left thrown across the street. When I called to complain I was told someone would come back that day 9/21, then today 9/22 and now when I called to confirm today's pick up I'm being told it will be tomorrow... I also keep being told I will receive a credit to my account for the inconvenience however no one is able to put that in writing or provide confirmation of this so I doubt it will happen. They charge far too much for services for this run around.

    **NO PICKUP FOR 5 WEEKS!!** Missed Trash, Recycling and yard waste pickups in over a month. ***STILL GETTING CHARGED THE SAME** I have reported online, called and talked to customer service and just keep getting the run around. Such horrible service!! Location: King County, WA

    Following a series of failures to pick up in accordance with their published schedule I canceled their service. My cancelation notice was presented during a period of time when I had prepaid. Republic then billed me for a 3 month period after they had picked up their container. BEWARE . Now they refuse to adjust their Fraudulent unearned charges. Please do yourself a favor and choose Waste Management .That's the company I have chosen and so far all is good... also their rate is 20% less money than Republic!.

    Signs for neighbors and everyone else to be aware of this company's practices.

    DON'T LET THEIR RESPONSE FOOL YOU! It's been MONTHS with zero communication from them outside automated ones. The best part though? My city is talking them to court over all the missed pick ups. What a joke of a business. This company is negligent in their responsibilities, lax in their communication (to put it nicely) and the only timing you can count on is that they will NEVER make it when they schedule something with you. I have made upwards of 15 phone calls since May. First was to see about getting my pricing down due to a competing company beating their most recent price increase- I was told by a Jeremiah that he was going to be reducing my quarterly cost to $65! Amazing! What he neglected to tell me was that this was their "rope you in," pricing for new customers and had essentially made it look like I was a new customer without actually bringing me new containers. He also forgot to cancel my existing service making it look like I had TWO on the books with them. I spent 4 calls after that trying to get them to honor the price or at least reduce to the competing company, each time being spun a new tale and line for why what the last rep said wasn't possible/couldn't be honored. At one point I was charged over $200 for a QUARTERLY SERVICE! absolutely insane! I am thankful that the $70 overcharge wasn't the difference between groceries for us that week; but others may not be as privileged. When I called back to get it corrected I was told they could prorate it and send me the overage by issuing a refund to my card but that I had to call back once the account was reflecting the updated balance. I called back to request that be processed and was told, "Oh, no, that can't be done at all." They mentioned a check could be cut but it would cause billing issues as it wasn't a true credit so I was persuaded not to go that route. A week later a check comes in the mail for the overage?! As if those issues weren't enough, they are consistently a day late picking up your trash. No voicemail, emails, calls or account notifications to let you know of the latency either. They also will take FOREVER to pick up a container and replace with a new one, should your lid become damaged from the truck banging it to release contents. But don't worry, they also don't care about getting them back from you when you cancel either so you could probably squeeze an extra week or two of trash without them realizing! BONUS! Currently, my receptacles have been out by my driveway for seven days. I was told to put them out the evening of 8/8 for morning pick up on 8/9. 8/9 rolls around and they were never picked back up. I called 8/10 and was told they would be coming that day to leave the containers out and do not move them for risk of the vendors not seeing them. Shocker, that never happened. Repeat that process for 8/11, 8/12 and 8/13 (yes, they supposedly pick up on Saturdays). Each time I was told the problem was escalated and that should the pick up be delayed again I would receive a phone call- crickets. Here we are now 8/15 and I am being told they'll be picked up today, again. I am not holding my breath. Should I receive a fine from my HOA or city for having the receptacles out for over 48hrs I will be sending it to their headquarters. They also do not have any phone numbers for managers or the vendors to provide so it's on you, the customer, to make sure THEIR property is still scheduled to be picked up. At this point, as my sign says, my toddler could have walked them to the office. Oh, but take solace in knowing this isn't just a regional issue! Because this is nation wide practice for them! My BIL in GA had the exact same issues with them and had to call headquarters to actually get the bins picked up. I am lucky to have other trash options and feel horrible for those stuck with Republic as their only waste co.

    The worst trash service in DC. 3 missed pickups after several complaints.

    Republic Services, who oversees what was previously known as Tenleytown Trash, frequently misses pick up services (sometimes for weeks) and often does not actually separate recycling despite charging for a separate services. My landlord has complained numerous times with no results. Other tenants and I are requesting a new company. This is creating rodent problems around our property. Stay away from this company!!

They are honest and offer highly competitive pricing. I recently rented a 40-yard dumpster to clear out my parents' house after my father passed away. After 50 years of accumulation, I had no idea how many dumpsters I would need or how quickly the contractors would fill them. Although I took a best guess, the first dumpster was filled much faster than anticipated. Elena and the team found a way to accommodate my last-minute request immediately without taking advantage of my situation. Their service truly restored my faith in humanity. I cannot say enough about Elena, the office staff, and the drivers. If you are looking to rent a dumpster, look no further; their pricing is the best around, they are transparent with fees, and they are simply great people. I felt so grateful to work with this company while navigating the many other arrangements required after my father's passing. It may sound strange, but I actually looked forward to speaking with the office staff during such a difficult time. I felt so much gratitude that I have DoorDashed donuts to your office as a thank you. I hope these words and the treat express a fraction of my appreciation for your hard work and kindness.

It shouldn't have been a hard thing to schedule, but somehow it was the most impossible thing in the world to find a company that would haul a dumpster to Des Moines for under $500. I finally contacted Eastside after trying the major garbage carriers and just getting ignored; Steve answered my emails and was very prompt and professional. He explained that what I was looking for (a dumpster rental for just a short time) would be a little cheaper than the standard 5-day rental. I was also equally impressed with Heather (I believe that was her name, sometimes it was hard to hear her). They both confirmed that I could rent a 20-yd dumpster for 2 days for about 250 (+tonnage fees). Not bad, considering another company wanted 550 for a 10-yd! I had a few odd requests (pick up the dumpster as early as possible because it was an abandoned house and we didn't want neighbors deciding to dump stuff in it, etc. etc). and when I swung by the house at 9am the next morning the dumpster was gone. I specified that it was important that I receive the total as soon as they knew it - guess what? They called later that same day with the total. (Anyone who's ever tried to get customer service to call them back KNOWS how rare this is.)

I needed a dumpster for a rental property we own. We were tearing out a deck, removing a small kitchen, and the tenants left a whole lot of junk - toys, garbage, just junk. We also had several very heavy pieces of concrete to dump. With these items, we almost filled the 20 yard dumpster. I had no idea how to estimate how much this might weigh (since they charge per ton to dump). To give you an idea, it was 3.37 tons of waste. (They charged $100 per ton to dump as of Nov. 2012). That is on top of the 20 yard rental fee ($250). The dumpster is on wheels and is tall (almost 6 feet I think) - but it has two doors that swing open and make it easy to load. I called around and priced other companies - this one charges just about the same as others. I went with them because another company didn't allow you to mix waste in the container - it had to be either garbage OR construction debris. The one annoying thing that happened was that I kept the container for almost the whole week that is included - since it's a rental property and I don't live there, it was unattended at night. One of the neighbors noticed and dumped 2 toilets, florescent bulbs, and other heavy items that I then had to pay to dispose of. So I called Eastside Hauling the next day and had them pick it up early. Keep that in mind - if you're not going to be home to keep an eye on the dumpster - arrange to have it dropped off and picked up for only the time you need it, otherwise it's too tempting for neighbors to help themselves.
