Lostocco Refuse Service describes itself on its BBB page as offering rubbish removal services, and its own site posts holiday and bi-weekly recycling schedules. The company says it has been in business 40 years and lists Danbury, Brookfield, Bethel, New Fairfield and Newtown as its service area. That bi-weekly recycling schedule is where a 2026 customer's story starts: they wrote that recyclables would be picked up only twice a month instead of every week, and that the company later called, explained it had sent a notice and offered another large recycling can free of charge. A 2025 customer said the cut to recycling pickups left their bins overflowing and amounted to about a 25% increase in price. A 2024 customer of three years said that when they put the garbage or recycling out too late, the company had someone come back to pick it up, and named Donna in the office as helpful. A 2024 customer said there was a mix-up over where to put a dumpster in the driveway, and the company came back the next day within its stated 11-to-12 window to move it. A 2024 customer who said they had been a client for over 22 years wrote that you could set your clock by them. A 2023 customer who rented a small dumpster said it had not been picked up on the scheduled day and they were told Monday or Tuesday of the following week. A 2023 customer said a driver skipped their recycling when a car was parked near the cans, and two calls over three days had not resolved it. A 2022 customer who missed putting a pail out said they called for days and it still had not been picked up after 6 days; that customer called Liz rude and not helpful. A 2022 customer said garbage was dumped on their driveway and the cans taken away, and that customer service called their wife a liar. On Google the company holds 3.8 stars from 52 ratings, and its Better Business Bureau grade is A+.

Lostocco is the best!
Edited: They called and explained that they sent out a notice, and offered to get me another large recyclable can free of charge. The only reason I left the four star, is because the notice was sent without the same diligence as their monthly invoices. But other than that, I’m back to liking them again. We were informed that recyclables would only be picked up twice a month instead of every week. When my wife asked them why they raised their rates they said we didn’t. We’re just not picking up recyclables as much.
Extremely poor customer service. So glad i went with a much better company than Lostocco. Lostocco doesn't know what they are doing
They’re not the company they used to be. Consider other options. Our recycling Bins are overflowing because they decided to come half as much to pick up recycles. We have one garbage bin and one recycle bin, so that’s basically a 25% increase in price. He might as well go to any other company you can get a better price from, this one used to be locally owned, reputable, and when I called, I always got nice people on the phone. Now I’m disgusted.
Fantastic customer service!!
