EDIT - Within 10 minutes or so of this post being live, I get a phone call from Phillip... the…read moreowner of Garby. He apologized profusely and says that no one had informed him of this service issue. He said that he himself is going to go by my house this afternoon and pick up the piece. Apparently, this has identified a process failure within his company, and he promised to correct it so it doesn't repeat. Props to Phillip for taking ownership of the issue instead of handing it off to someone else to resolve. If he keeps his word and the piece gets picked up I wll come back and improve my rating . EDIT 2 - Phillip was true to his word and picked up the trunk before I returned home. As promised, I have increased my rating from a 2 to a 4 star. Originally I had planned to raise it to a 3 star if the trunkhad been collected, but in recognition of the fact that Phillip understands that talk is cheap but actions are putting your money where your mouth is, as he left a small token of apology at my door. Yelp wouldn't let me do 3.75 so I rounded up in recognition... nice save Phillip. ORIGINAL POST Trash and recycling go out on Sunday night for early Monday AM pickup. Everything out where it should be on the curb. Nothing blocking the view. Come home from work early on Monday and the trunk I put out is still there. Recycling gone, three bags of trash gone. Someone made a decision to not take this item. Couldn't have been because it was too big... 30"x18" maybe.. made of chipboard and covered in vinyl. I call their "customer service" (I use that term loosely) at about 2:45PM.. CS is open until 7p. They tell me nothing they can do, all of their people are gone for the day. OK, fine, please have someone pick it up tomorrow (Tuesday). Get home about 5PM on Tuesday and it's still there. Call Customer service - surprisingly no one answers (not really), leave a message. Fancy phone system texts me back on my cell "Sorry we missed your call, how can we help? " I reply back with the same message I left on the VM. Fast forward to Wednesday AM... text back from them with a picture from the truck with the piece in question circled, asking if this is it; I confirm it is. "Thanks, let me coordinate with the crew about picking it up." 1:20PM... text back like they are delivering good news... "The crew tells me they can pick it up tomorrow morning..." I should be ecstatic except that they are actually going to pick it up on my next regularly scheduled trash day.... So, no extra effort to correct their mistake. Apparently, it's acceptable to the good people at Garby to leave trash in front of a customer's house for three days, then make it sound like they are doing you a favor by collecting it on a normal trash day. "And we flagged your address to ensure this never happens again"... that and $5.25 will get me a grande latte at Starbucks.

We initially went to another place off Euclid was just just shiesty, but traded in our steel and aluminum there, but felt our weight was off with them. So, we asked to weigh our copper and it just didn't seem right, so we decided to drive to Potomac. Right away, the drive through line was a good sign as well as the great customer service with staff assisting you to unload. Turns out the other place was underweighing us. So, just for the service alone, I'd take my scrap metal here!

I am extremely frustrated with the service--or complete lack thereof--provided today…read more During the initial pass, an American Disposal Service worker walked right past my trash bin while the truck was maneuvering. Because the truck was temporarily out of range, he simply left the trash sitting there. Moments later, the truck backed down the street and completely ignored my bin on its second pass. I contacted customer service twice regarding this oversight. Both times, I was explicitly assured that the driver was circling back to correct the mistake and empty the bin. It is now past 7:00 PM, and my full trash bin is still sitting out on the street. Missing a pickup due to a maneuvering issue is one thing, but being ignored on a second pass and then repeatedly misinformed by customer service is completely unacceptable. I expect the service I pay for to be completed reliably.
