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.

My credit card was charged $250. I don't do business with Waste Management and my credit card company said it was a scam. If you see a charge from this company I recommend looking into it.

I was driving to work on 820 in Fort Worth this morning and a driver hauling a dumpster merged into my lane, driving 75-80 mph in a 60 and flung rocks onto my car, cracking my windshield. I have photos but am unable to upload here. Please contact me for a resolution at anisalong@richaviation.com.

Had service 19 years have a tough time no money to pay. I cancelled service Jan. 2019. They will not cancel threatening to add to taxes.. They are not being ethical, causing duress, and taking advantage of me because I am unable to defend my self and they can because they have power. This is so wrong. They will not pick up bin and continue to bill me

This company is so corrupt and I hate them, they constantly try to charge a 5.00 late fee even thought I pay my bill as soon as I get it!

I always have to call their sleazy [censored] to get the fee removered! About ready to file a compliant with the corporation committee!

Greed at its best!

I informed Waste Management our company was moving to another city, paid for extra trash fees, called to pay our final bill.
We were over charged and I was informed a refund would take up to 30 days. As of today we are still being billed for service and have not received the refund. Customer ID: [protected]

One of the most disrespectful employers I have ever worked for . I don't know if the manager is bias or something . Regardless of who u are, you got other employees taking drugs on the lot . Sleeping under umbrella while they should be working, trying to buy my medication .

If you are in the area let them see a copy of the property sale, which will have the sale date as well as the new owners information. They may ask for the copy but you don't have to let them have it. That should let them see that they have erroneously charged you.

If they do end up sending you to a collections agency then other steps need to be taken. Such as a Cease and Desist letter sent to the collections agency via certified mail.

I worked for them for several years as a team leader and Customer Service Manager. The best advise I can give you is to ask for a Manager, not a team leader but the Customer Service Manager. Show your proof of residency and ask that the charges be removed. The second step you can get is to have them ask the driver for verification, many times the drivers will have the same routes for several years. The driver may remember you moving or when the new residents started occupying the home. The last option is to find out who the current resident is and on trash day see who they are currently using for the trash hauler. Call the hauler, explain the circumstances and ask when they started service, they may provide you with a start date.
Hope this helps...
