It holds 3.9 stars from 14 Google ratings. A 2025 customer who said they had used the company for some 45 years wrote that, after falling behind on payments while raising three very young children, the company told them to pay a small amount or whatever they could and continued the service without interruption. A 2022 customer who said they had had the company for 24 years wrote that the trash man got out of the truck to move a neighbor's bin, which was blocked by a vehicle, so he could empty it. A 2025 customer said they had to call every week because the company forgot to pick up the trash, the recycling and sometimes both, and said it was more expensive than its competitors. A 2023 customer said the company had to be called weekly with reminders, that the trash was not picked up even after assurances from the main office, and wrote of three weeks' worth of recycling building up at home. **Strengths:** - Payment flexibility — a 2025 customer said service continued after missed payments - A blocked bin emptied — a 2022 customer said the trash man moved it **Concerns:** - Missed pickups — a 2025 customer said they had to call every week - A higher price — a 2025 customer said it cost more than competitors ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - The company says Thaddeus Zommer first started it in 1937 _(confidence: low)_ - [Official Website](https://www.wastematerialtrucking.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): We were recently digging around in the archives and discovered company records that Thaddeus Zommer first s…” - 3.9 stars from 14 Google ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Waste%20Material%20Trucking%20Co%20Inc&query_place_id=ChIJsyqcKi2354kRba5fl0PrCpE) — “Google: 3.9★ from 14 ratings” - A 2025 customer said the company kept up service after they fell behind on payments _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT25CblRUUmpXRlZGYlV0NmNIYzFTMWRHY1UxVFVXYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x910aeb43975fae6d!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOnBnTTRjWFVFbUt6cHc1S1dGcU1TUWc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ I just have to give another shout out for this great company.

Have to call every week because they forget to pickup the trash, recycling and sometimes both. Very unreliable and will be switching back to a better service soon.
