If you like your trash to be picked up at different times of the day and your trash cans left right in the middle of the road, this is the company for you! They also love to leave your trash lids open so if it s raining or snowing you get a nice buildup.

Every step of the way she made sure that my trash got picked up. Her willingness to provide me with friendly, courteous customer service is quite refreshing. Thank...

Thieves! If you don't pay your bill on time, late fees are assessed. I get that, but if they don't pick up your trash you still have to pay. I asked the customer service representative why I get charged if I'm out of town and there is nothing for them to pick up. She replied that it is because they ...

The company is very good about communicating when pick up days are changed for holidays. Otherwise they always pick up on time except for severe weather, and then it is picked up soon afterward. They also do not abuse my trash cans and leave them standing where I put them.

They won't notify you if they're unable to pick up trash because of snowfall, which means you'll wait until the next week for trash pick up. They will not remove any loose trash in the 90 gallon Apple Valley Waste garbage can they provide you, instead they will let it sit or in my case, scatter it a...

Recycling has been great. They take it all and no issues. The trash is a problem. The collector will not lift the containers so he reaches in and removes only that which is in a bag. If you put in a piece of styrofoam or a empty cup and it's not in a bag, he will not take it. So basically you ...

They tell you yard waste is free pick up, but then they make you pay for (likely non-biodegradable) stickers to put on bags that you have to buy. What a joke. Waste Management picks up yard waste for free and w/o having to buy special bags.
