Last 6 months: 1 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Associated Refuse Haulers delivers 4 to 30 yard containers, and its own site says it has been family-owned since 1982 and delivers across Fairfield County, Lower Litchfield County and Western New Haven County, Connecticut. On its BBB page it describes itself as offering residential and commercial hauling, debris clean up and container service. A recent Google customer who has used the company on a number of occasions says a human picks up the phone, with no prompts, and calls everyone from the scheduling team through delivery, pick-up and billing professional. A 2021 customer said they had been with Associated Refuse for 12 years and praised its rates. In a 2023 Google review, a writer described calling the owner, Pat, about a truck backing up the next-door driveway around 4am every Monday. That 2023 reviewer said Pat promised to switch the pickup to later in the day, and the following Monday the truck did not come until after 8:30 am. A 2024 customer complained that the company came to pick up the dumpster at 4:50am without calling first. **Strengths:** - A human answering — a recent customer says a person picks up, no prompts - A moved pickup time — a 2023 reviewer said owner Pat moved a 4am pickup **Concerns:** - Early dumpster pickup — a 2024 customer said pickup came at 4:50am without a call ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Says it delivers 4 to 30 yard containers across Fairfield County, Lower Litchfield County and Western New Haven County, Connecticut, and has been family-owned since 1982 _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](http://www.associatedrefuse.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Prompt delivery across Fairfield County, Lower Litchfield County & Western New Haven County, Connecticut. 4…” - A recent customer says a human answers the phone and calls the staff from scheduling through billing professional _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT21ScWRGZHVaRVJJTWpCMGJYSlVRekp3ZGxRd1pFRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xcea215fdcbe6ecee!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOmRqdFduZERIMjB0bXJUQzJwdlQwZEE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Have used these folks on a number of occasions, super cool people from the scheduling team (no prompts, a human picks up the phone), to t…” - A 2023 reviewer said owner Pat moved a 4am Monday pickup to after 8:30 am after a call _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUM1cEtYYzFRRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xcea215fdcbe6ecee!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgIC5pKXc1QE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ I have to give a huge shoutout to Associated Refuse, and the owner Pat.
