I’m surprised to see the negative reviews, I’ve had residential service for about three years and they’ve been great. I’ve called them a couple times and I always have someone pick up and when I set up my account initially it took less than ten minutes. I highly recommend this company for residential pickup, I can’t speak on commercial.
The best trash service I've ever used.
Paid for February but they never picked up my trash. Got one message saying my road wasn't plowed, we had maybe 2 inches of snow. The next week they did show up but never got out of the truck...trash still here!
