Worst company ever they are rude and when you try to ask a question. They quickly dismiss you. They never pick up the phone if you call. Last week I tried to ask the guy a question who picked up my trash he waved me off. WASTE MANAGEMENT was much better nicer and friendlier. We pay money to pick up the trash you guys can at least be respectful and kind.

I'm giving one star since I can't give a 0. This company is horrible. They leave trash everywhere. Speed thru neighborhoods. Sometimes they go right past your trashcan and never dump it. It's ridiculous. I want the old trash people back. At least they were good people.

Worst trash service. My dad was denied to dump our home debris from the storm. They asked for an ID and when he showed them the employees rejected it and accused him of having a fake ID. Absolutely absurd!! Lazy people who don't want to work.
