Republic trash services is by far the worst place to serve you residential trash needs. We've had…read morethem for almost 15 years and the service has slowly gotten worse, while the prices for the same service has almost tripled. The people that drive the trucks are some of the most incompetent, unreliable, uncaring, I think I have ever had the displeasure of interacting with. They would constantly run over decorative stones along the driveway, because they are completely incompetent and driving a large trash truck. Interacting with customer service whether via email or on the phone, is just as bad. You're constantly placed on hold because no one can really help you, so they switch you to somebody else. That person picks up and ask you to hold. this is the whole cycle of Republic. And they charge you for everything to drop off their own crappy trash receptacles they charge you. then when you finally decide to go someplace else, they charge you to pick up their own crappy, filthy, broken, smelly, trash receptacles.

AWFUL COMPANY!! I have had this company for 3 weeks, THREE WEEKS, started on a Tuesday, next week…read morethey came on Wednesday, then I put my trash out Tuesday this week to get notified they are moving it to Thursday, then I get an email...."we're going to be 6 hours late", its FRIDAY and I just called. I was told they don't know what it going on but they can have someone come MONDAY. I have 9 days of dang trash, my can is overflowing. I have trash INSIDE that can't go out because the can that was SUPPOSED TO BE EMPTY IS FULL. Then I ask for a refund for the week, he says he will send me to the billing department. He didn't it I had a dial tone when he "transferred" I will haul my trash to week every single week before I keep trash service through this AWFUL company

Why does this place make me so uncomfortable? My dad had a great side-gig in scrap metal, so I am…read morepretty well versed in identifying metals including my copper grades. I understand why and how it's important to strip insulation from scrap wiring and remove inferior fittings from brass. My first decent SLR Camera, purchased with $ I made from cashing in aluminum cans back in the day. Still, for some reason when I roll up on one of these places just to dispose of scrap w no expectation of payment (just want to drop it so it's not simply dumped in a landfill) my anxiety rises. It's a nice crew here, really helpful (albeit a bit suspicious when you don't want payment, just more responsible waste handling). I have also purchased a couple "Burn Barrels" here for only about $10 to handle occasional yard waste. For any kids out there reading this, you really can make some good $ from scrap. Work w your neighbors, whoever. Do them a favor by cleaning up their yard and you may be very surprised by how much you can make for very little effort. There are only SO many resources to go around, recycling materials makes good sense. (Study up on identifying how to grade scrap metal, you will be pleasantly and financially rewarded).
