I'm usually easy-going and have an open mind to people trying to operate their own business, but this is something that needs to be documented. I have called 10 times to ask them about getting a recycling bin, and left voice messages 9 of those times over the past 4 YEARS. They have only returned my call ONCE, and replied with "We'll see what we can do". That was about a year ago... and still no recycle bin. Their service was extremely hit or miss the first two years I lived in this town and have gotten more consistent over the last 2 years. I haven't called lately for a recycle bin because there is no point; they never seem to get back to me and I have been extremely nice and polite up to this point, and never said anything bad until this review. I wish there was another company in town that drove around and picked up recycling, but we are stuck with Wadsworth, and I am waiting for a recycling bin that will probably never come. My house piles up with cardboard and milk jugs/plastics, until I make a 20 minute drive to the transfer station in coos-bay every 3-6 months.
The only "good" thing I can say about them.... ummm.... they mail out their bills to customers regularly? I give Wadsworth 0 Stars for recycling "service", 1 Star for my garbage service 2-4 years ago, and 3 stars for my current garbage service since they seem to have their driver/truck on a more consistent schedule, but have occasional breakdowns in the truck. That's an accurate/legitimate average rating of 1.33 stars, which I am rounding down to a 1 star because they can't seem to get my recycling bin. Give me a bin, and I will revise this review, and possibly my rating to reflect the additional service.
Edit 11-9-2016: I have now upped my current garbage service rating from 3 stars to 3.5 stars for one simple reason: the garbage guy *usually* will throw an extra trash bag in the truck that we often have sitting next to the bin. We would put it in the bins, but they are really tiny in comparison to other bins from other companies I have had in the past. This gives them an overall rating of 1.5, which I am still choosing to leave as "one" star overall until they break the "2" threshold. read more
