Republic Services – By far one of the worst companies you will ever deal with.

This company operates a deeply deceptive and legally dubious business model. When you initially sign up for their service, there is a set term and an agreed price for the service. However, Republic deceptively evades the spirit of the contract by tacking on bogus "fuel recovery charges", even when fuel prices are not any higher than previously. Its just a scam to raise prices without "technically" violating the agreement. On top of this, the company will claim the right to renew your contract and change the rates on your contract without giving any notice that the contract was being renewed and your rates increased. When you try to cancel their service, they then claim that you have some ridiculous amount of time left on a contract you never agreed to at a price 2-3 times what you had originally agreed to pay them. They refuse to pick up their equipment and demand that you continue to pay. There are not many companies I would say this about, but Republic is a truly diabolical company and I cannot believe their practices are even legal.
