This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

We just received a "demand for payment" for services to a property that we sold 3 years ago. We did not receive anything from them prior to the nasty letter demanding payment and a threat to turn it over to a collection agency. On august 8, 2004, I cancelled the service to the address 16857 e. Napa drive, aurora, co. Our bill was paid in full at the time I cancelled it. What is the best way to handle this.

WM has owed me $104 for an overpayment on a previous account and have not paid it after nearly 2 years.

I was finally able to cancel my other business contracts with Waste Management, thankfully. But...When they came to remove their containers they charged me a $200 removal fee.

This company has treated me unethically and should be avoided.

My contract was legally terminated on September 6, 2023. However, I am being charged $300 plus expenses for removing a 96-gallon trash can, which I find unreasonable and excessive. I am disputing this charge and refusing to pay such an exorbitant fee. I have offered to drop off the trash can, but the offer has not yet been accepted.

The 'recycling' was cancelled in March 2023 and we have been billed every month since. YOUR system still indicates that we have the recycling tote. WE DO NOT have one. We do not want one. We do not have the slightest desire to try to solve a environment problem with a 'company' that doesn't do half what they claim.

Approx 3:45PM PST (Pacific Standard Time) WM truck decides it's ok to run red light with pedestrians waiting to cross. It was clear the driver had lots of warning with the yellow light and then red light and still made no effort to stop or slow for crossing intersection.

Driver of truck 107020 dropped a pile of trash on the road and just left it there. If you are unable to train your driver in how to pick up and dump a container, the least you could do is instruct him to pick up the mess he made.

I have been using the WM last two years and there was no cancellation charge to pick up a bin during the Sign up. The prices for the service all over the place and they are asking me to pay 75$ to pick up a trash bin.

Why it is not mentioned anywhere in the website and in my contract? Why should I pay to pick up your trash bin?

I fulfilled my contract and completed my time with them and did not want their service any longer. I cancelled the service, and they stated I had to pay the $75 fee. I did not do early cancellation, I just do NOT accept and cancel my future service, but I am still be charged 75 plus cancellation fee, which totally do not make any sense

i submitted bulk pickup in california for May 30. It was not picked up on May 30 due to Memorial day backup. It was not picked up on May 31. I contacted WM and was guaranteed pickup by june 1 by 7pm. It did not happen either. I then contacted them again and was told pickup would happen on June 2. That also did not happen. So...what now?

My bin was to be exchanged yesterday per RossTwp.

No-one ever showed up. I have lived here almost 60 yrs. I want the exchange asap. .I was called 7:00 am , was woken up! Now I'm still dealing with this. Large bin is too much for me to manage. Please take care of my complaint.

Recycling at our address is not being picked up. Trucks do not show up for rescheduled pickups. We have recycling piling up and it is not being addressed. Calls to WM have not resulted in action.Most recently they missed the pickup on Monday, April 10th.

I received a $306.00 bill from Waste Management for 3 months of trash pick-up. When I called to cancel I was told that I had to pay them $75 plus surcharge to cancel my service. This is a ridiculous charge to cancel service.

Once again my trash wasn’t picked up. on March 10,2023. I pay a small fortune and they regularly skip my pickup. I can honestly say that I have never had a company that was so poor in their service

The guys name is cliff and is rude and thinks he can tell you what he is going to do and refuses to cancel our service at our church and we are tired of messing with him he also told us we would have to get a lawyer to get it canceled seems like to me if you go to Walmart and they force you to buy something before you leave 2/9/2023

I cancelled my service but still don't get a part of my prepayment. I paid $160 for the next quarter, but only had pickup 2 times. I feel I should be refunded at least a portion of my payment. [protected]

Our trash pickup is each Wednesday. Our trash pickup on 12\14 was picked up on Thur, Dec 15. The next week our pickup should have been Wed, Dec 21. On WM my account, it said it was picked up Thur, Dec 22 but it was not. I reported it and was told it would be picked up the next day. Today is Monday Jan 2 and we have still not had a pickup.

I canceled my service their prices keep going up. From 69.16 i get charged 94.80 every 3 months. i used service 2 months i get billed 119.48 and the website doesnt let me see the invoice at all. It makes no sense being charged more. on top of that I had to call twice to cancel because someone wasnt doing their job.

I live in Chevy Chase on 107th Ave. Today (Wednesday) was our normal pickup day. None of the trash was collected on the entire street, this includes garbage and yard waste. My bin was set outside Tuesday evening.

I have spent days on the phone on hold to try and cancel our service as they have tripled the cost of our service over the last couple years. When I get a live chat agent online they refuse to help me cancel and defer me to the unattended cancelation phone number.

1/24/20.
Partial dump left 1/2 full 3 bags in container before 11am.
I can hear and see the trash man in the end of my block.
I called customer service at 11am.
He would be notified to come back and get the trash can by 6pm. Never came, noticed the broken wheel, I'm getting tired of it.
The Recycle person does an outstanding job, very productive
