The young man on 2-9-26 around lunchtime was amazing. Greeted us with a smile, asked for the ID, looked at the load and thanked us as he left for the next vehicle. Great guy with public facing skills - a keeper. read more

Although the line is usually long for a dump run, once you get checked in- unloading is pretty quick. The people that check your id and take payment are always kind and try their hardest to make the line go quicker. It is so nice they offer 4 free dump runs a year to homeowners. They are in the middle of town which makes it easy to get to. Every time I have had to call someone at the facility for hours or what they will take and what they won't- the employees have been knowledgeable and kind. read more

We recently learned that Waste Management customers are allowed four free trash dumps per calendar year. We are clearing out things from our house that sadly cannot be recycled or donated so we decided to try out the dump service today. As you pull into this location on Commercial Row, on one side of the street there is a place for people to drop off recyclables and metals, and on the other side of the street you can pull in to dump all the other non-hazardous stuff. It was an easy process. We pulled in kind of like a drive through where someone from a little hut came out to greet us. She was kind and informative! I presented my ID as the account holder and a copy of our most recent bill. She went inside the hut presumably to note our visit on our account. She also advised that we have three more opportunities available this calendar year and then we will have four opportunities starting again in January. We only waited in our vehicle a few moments when another worker waved at us to drive in the building. We were instructed to back in next to a row of other vehicles with people doing the same thing we were (only they were lucky to have pickup trucks and could bring more while we just had our Honda Pilot). Everyone was literally dumping their trash into a large pit! We were done in no time and will try to make use of our other opportunities before the year is out. read more

Waste Management - Recycling Center Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Easy place to drop off cardboard that doesn't fit into your recycling bin. I prefer to drop off here so that it gets recycled and not in the dump. Back in and drop off. This is self-serve so they don't have anyone to help unload. It's a free service that Waste Management offers so no frills. The place is right off of 4th street so not the best.area but it's daytime so no issues. read more

See all

Same old Waste Management: our can fell into the back of the garbage truck and they couldn't get it out-- the guy said we'd have to call for a replacement. I spent 25ish minutes on hold, then spoke with a woman who promised to rush one out...on Monday, six days from now. "Got no can," I said. "Bears (in the national forest up the hill) are just out of hibernation. They're in the yard every night. Why do I have to wait a week for you to replace a can you took?" "We can get it out on Monday, sir..." Same old Waste Management. read more

The WM cardboard drop point is simple and easy to use... I wish the rest of Waste Management services worked this well read more

Waste Management - Recycling Center Near Me - Reno, Nevada

It's been a rather significant amount of time since I visited this place for a dump run. But, we had a lot of stuff to get rid of recently. We were able to use our landlord/owner's free dumps and had no issues. The gentleman at the booth was very friendly and quick to get our information together. They weren't busy in the morning so it was a relatively quick trip. It's easy to back in and toss your garbage over the rail - kind of therapeutic actually haha. read more

My container was not completely emptied at last pickup. I called and they pretty much said it was my fault and would not return to pick up remainder but I could put out extra bags at next pickup. Supposedly my fault for stuffing bottom to tightly which was not so. Did not care that I was unhappy with the result of my complaint. I received a senior discount when I set up my account in 2012 which was stop about 2 years later and the rate have continued to increase with a $5 increase this month while the service is unacceptable. read more

Can fell in to truck during pick up. Didn't notify me!! Reported it missing on the app said it would take by the seven business days. So I called them. The lady that I spoke to had me on speakerphone. I explained the situation she told me that I could put bags out on the curb. She said they will deliver a new can on my pick up day. Told her that isn't going to help me. I asked her if she was going to send me stickers and I was told no. She said that she would leave a note on my account for the driver to pick up any bags, even if they didn't have stickers. When I asked if there was a credit or compensation coming to me for the inconvenience she told me we don't compensate our credit for inconvenience. So we'll see what happens next Thursday. read more

Customer service is terrible. I've been online for approx. 30 minutes to request a change in service. I was bounced out of the queue and had to rejoin. All I want is to have a recycle bin returned. Customer service joined a chat and hasn't responded AT ALL to ANY requests that I'm making. How fucking hard is it to answer this question? I think I'll check out pricing to take my trash to the dump. If a company can't provide customer service, it doesn't deserve customers. read more

Could've been better. I've been a prisoner customer of Waste Management for now 28 years. Here's what in those 28 years I've learned Waste Management is good at: Playing monopoly Making the mafia look like amateurs Avarice Putting people on telephone hold for hours Lying Ungrateful to Veterans (has no Veterans Discount) Ungrateful to Active Duty (has no Military Discount) Littering Low hiring standards Low emotional intelligence Chronic sarcasm Inflexibility Not following through Impatience Being a control freak Lacking empathy Being closed-minded Hypocrisy Constant complaining Managing with fear Narcissism Doesn't have a real Senior Discount. Instead gives a smaller can. Name-calling Bullying Community indifference Rudeness Losing customer payments Cover up errors Never admits error Never apologizes Blames others for their mistakes Being petty and childish Dump their cans out in the street or turned over Fire customers (remove cans, continue billing, won't pickup trash) when things don't go the way Waste Management wants it to Only the Waste Management executives at the top are benefited. James Fish received $13,057,363 in total compensation as Director, President and Chief Executive Officer at Waste Management Inc in 2021. Manages well the written garbage they throw at their prisoners Not driving in snow Not playing well with others Their website has a "chat" feature with no one monitoring it Making errors Beware a business that doesn't want to put in writing what they're telling you. Email communication allows for the flow of information and representations to be dated, recorded and preserved so that there are no issues with miscommunication. p.s. I checked all the one and two-star previous reviews here of this business as Useful and Cool. read more

Waste Management - Burning natural gas is NOT green or clean. greenamerica.org/fight-d… - Recycling Center Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Bad customer service, they took my personal trash can and they advised they are not responsible for what they take.

I'll have to praise WM for their four free dumps a year for residential costumers. Definitely helps with spring (or whenever-you-feel-up-to-a-big-project) ceaning, and getting rid of whatever large, unwanted items that are cluttering your life and mind. It's a must to take advantage of! read more

Waste Management is the absolute worst. We've always had not the best experience with them but not a lot you can do since it's the only trash company allowed in town. This last week took the cake though They Missed our trash pick up on our regular day even though it was out the night before. Spent three different times on hold for over an hour trying to talk to someone. Was assured on Tuesday that they would do a missed pickup run on Wednesday. Friday still no pick up. Now we have two weeks worth of trash from a large family sitting out on the street WITH EXCESS TRASH stickers on another container. Called again in today, waited an hour. Finally talked to a lady. She was speaking to me so quietly I could barely hear her but her tone was dripping with sarcasm and condescension, I explained the situation. And she was basically like, tough luck and hung up on me. Customer service Trash service However nothing we can do since Waste Management has a monopoly on the trash business. read more

we were supposed to have a dumpster picked up last week, they never showed and they claimed they picked it up. we called and scheduled to have it picked up this week AGAIN. the driver finally showed up today and refused to drive to location of dumpster claiming that something was in his way. two of our employees approached him and said they would move it right away, he completely disregarded them and continued to reverse without giving them a chance. considering the amount of money they charge we would expect better service. we have never had a problem with them before in the past 8 years than we have in the last two weeks. read more

They are impossible to get any one on the phone to talk to! It took almost 2 weeks to discontinue our service!

Have been on hold for 40 minutes. Was told it would only be 30 minutes if I hold or three hours if I have them call back.

This is In regards to recycling the idiot that collects my recycle has not taken my recycle because in his own words, the lid was not closed and a box was sticking out 6 inches!! What kind of stupid idiot would say/do that!! I think waste management is good, prices are fair, is just this asshole that has done it to me twice. The idiot has one job, one job only, and that is to collect it read more

I thought monopolies weren't allowed in this country yet waste management is allowed to completely control the garbage industry for some weird reason! Their customer service SUCKS! They are rude and in efficient, but that doesn't matter because we're all FORCED to pay them and use their service. What a racket! read more

I rarely ever write negative reviews. But I am so fed up with Waste Management and their terrible customer service. I used my last three "overflow" stickers on three bags of yard debri. I put them on my bags last night, and out to the curb for our garbage day today. I don't know what happened to the stickers, but my guess is they did not "stick" to the trash bags and blew off in the gale force winds sparks had last night. So the bags were left in the roadway and never picked up. After 30 minutes on the phone with them, most of it on hold, I was just told there is nothing they will do, and I have to purchase more stickers. Are you freaking kidding me???? I did everything I was supposed to, but because of something out of my control, they are punishing me and telling me I have to buy more stickers? What ever happened to taking care of your customers? Why would I lie about putting stickers on my bags? I follow all of the "rules" and always abide by the standards. And this is the treatment I get after being a loyal customer for 10 years. Unreal. Waste Management is a disgrace. They treat their customers like crap because they know there is no other option for garbage removal in this area. I do not have the money to purchase extra stickers. What a horrible reflection on them. I literally was in tears on the phone with them. They don't care about their customers. They don't care about treating people right, and perhaps looking at my account and seeing that I have NEVER made a request like this or had any issue with my bill. What a slap in the face. read more

The saga continues. After Waste Management neglected to pick up my trash yesterday, I spoke with customer service. I was assured someone would be out today to pick it up. At 4:00 I called because it hadn't been picked up. Customer service said no one was available to pick it up. I asked to speak with a supervisor. Kathleen got on the phone. She saw the notes from the call yesterday. She apologized but said there was no provision for sending someone out. She offered to pick up three free bags next week. Since I rarely fill up the container halfway, I declined. I asked for by bill to be adjusted appropriately. She agreed to make that happen. We'll see. Maybe if everyone insisted on their bills being adjusted will hit Waste Management so that the accounting department takes notice. read more
