I ordered a 20 yard dumpster and was to get 7 days. It got picked up early without notice, however, customer service and the driver saved the day by sending a dumpster back. The driver, Greg was great! I'm moving and a dumpster is better than spending tons on IGOTJUNK... read more

Avoid this company at all costs.I canceled my dumpster service nearly 12 months ago, yet they continue to bill me every single month. Their customer service and billing departments are impossible to deal with. A billing representative named Kate completely refused to assist me, obstinately demanding that I provide proof of my new refuse provider (Groot) before she would terminate the billing. What vendor I choose to use now is absolutely none of their business.To make matters worse, they flat-out refused to pick up their empty dumpster, forcing me to return it myself. If I could leave zero stars, I would. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this company. You will deeply regret doing business with them. read more

7-year commercial customer. Started getting large oil spots on our concrete where they drive up to pick up our dumpster. Which is also an employee entrance. Called our account manager he came out and looked and saw another manager who came and looked at it.The obvious solution repair the oil leak in the truck. There solution is drag the dumpsters to the end of the concrete and empty them. But they do not return them, and we have oil spots at the end of the concrete and on our blacktop drive and have to struggle to put the dumpsters back they made it worse. And this is how they treat a 7-year commercial customer . read more

I have Flood Bros for garbage , yard waste and recycling. For one good luck if you want to call and talk with anyone there. One needs to know the names of someone there. Secondly they miss taking the yard waste 50% of the time. I'm extremely disappointed in their service. read more

This is some serious bullshit , I called to ask about my yard waste not being picked up and the bitch lady who answered the phone hung up on me, not knowing the company's policy and routine I tried asking several questions and she just hung up on me! And there my yard waste sits! And this is how they treat the Customers, I don't care who you are they should be fired immediately! So WTF am I paying for explain that to me! read more

This morning 26 Nov 2025, this truck reversed unto our lawn & destroyed our lawn and the just drove off. It's probably the third time this has happened within a year. I would stay away from this company as they are very unprofessional and money hungry company. I had experienced their services as I was a customer and their rates are high and they bill you an extra 13th cycle. Upon getting lower rates I cancelled and they wanted to charge me $1900.00 just to cancel the contract. read more

They have stolen our property multiple times and never returned it or made restitution despite calling.

I had met up with my yard waste driver Robert. I am in the Oak Lawn area. I had some questions about the containers. What a Gentleman. This driver should teach customer service at some of these other places. Thanks again Robert, and thanks again Flood Brothers. read more

I was confused with the Holiday Schedule and did not have my cans ready for pick up, 100% my own fault. I called customer service and spoke to a young lady. She said give me a few minutes and I'll call you back. Less than 15 minutes later she called and said we have a truck close by and if he is not full we will reroute him to you house. If not I'll put your house on the list to be picked up 1st thing in the morning before the driver starts his regular route. Oh and one other thing we will waive the regular pick-up fee. They took a bad situation of my own doing and made it all work out. Thank You read more

So garbage day is normally Friday morning but the last several months I've had nothing but issues with our garbage men in particular to where they won't take anything that's not in a can, I understand for overly heavy items and furniture I gotta call ahead but this ain't that I dragged it from garage to curb with 1 piece in each hand. My mail lady will be getting Xmas gifts and even my FedEx/ups drivers will but I just can't with these people. Worst move the village of Thornton could of made was hiring this joke of a company. For the Garbage they pick up and the cost of their service I'll pocket that money and buy a dump trlr and take it to city dump for $80 a ton if I could but unfortunately it's paid straight out of escrow in my property taxes. Call the village of Thornton asks for my address and phone number she states she's going to call but here it is they still out there. Last week and this week it looks like I'm pulling it out and taking it back in. May just take to work and ask if I can dump in their dumpsters but regardless it's ridiculous I can't even get small crap picked up read more

They are extremely inconsistent with garbage pickup. Never know if they'll come or not. For no reason. Our alley entrance is always open and clear. Worst part is customer service. We've spoken to them several times to try to find out why they are not coming. They always say there's no reason that they can see and that they'll follow up and call us back. Never hear from them. Garbage still not getting picked up. All I can conclude is they don't care. And "customer service" is a joke to them. read more

The only reason why I'm giving this company one star is because if i didn't, i wouldn't be able to write a review, I would like to give them -10 stars. This use to be a good family business that had great customer service, they have turned out to be a huge disappointment! Sneaking in 5 year contracts, where no one else has 5 year contracts is just not good business, I can't wait for my contract to end and I will never do business with this deceiving company again and I suggest you don't either! read more

Just observed garbage collector this week on regular garbage truck hop out and throw all our recycle items we had sorted in a separate bin into the main garbage truck. Then emptied our garage on top of it and drove away after flinging our bin across the driveway. Awesome to see people who advertise recycling show how much they care about the environment and do their job properly. read more

VERY POOR SERVICE. No one can tell me who my account manager is, I have submitted virtual credit card payments, and because they apparently lost the person who processed those payments, those payments have not been applied to my account, then THEY ARE CALLING ME ASKING FOR PAYMENT! EMBARRASSING that one hand does not know what the other is doing. I am actively seeking a new company. Ridiculous. read more

Nonexistent customer communication. I waited long enough, so I contacted FLOOD to find out our Condo Association's pick-up dates for recycling and garbage, along with our account number. I was finally told our pick-up dates, and our account # will be on our first bill. Shouldn't a new customer get all the information they on their account without them making calls and contacts? read more

I give these Dummies a "0". The owners are stupid, the truck drivers are idiots. I have had several collections that the dummy driver left half the receptacle full and when I called the dope that called himself a manger said the video shows the dummy driver shaking the can with the robot arm and didn't bother to get off his lazy ass to empty the rest of the contents by manually. Another dummy driver had to empty yard waste manually because the robot arm couldn't grab the garbage can full of yard waste so he was mad and kicked all the cans across the street and in my yard. This is after he destroyed all the cans first by forcing the robotic arm to grab them, ALL 6 can. The arm cracked, crushed and destroyed ALL of them, When I called talked to both owners, the idiots refused to pay for the damage they caused. read more

They are not garbage disposal, their name should be Lazy Brothers. They never picked up my trash on garbage pick up day. I called numerous times to ask them to please come pick it, they never showed up. I'll be making a compliant to the HOA. This isn't the first time they do shit like this and additionally they always leave trash on the streets. Lazy and stupid employees. read more

front office is a disaster. do not hire this company to service your unit if you want any kind for accurate bill, and any kind of response. all you ever get is 'well I have to take to operations' and you never hear back. what a crapy company. just go out of biz if you are going to be so horrid. read more

You could start with customer service or operations or sales but definitely their drivers are the rudest, incompetent lazy people around. Basically the company sucks. They never call back nor follow up on any issues that you bring to their attention. So many different options that Flood Bros would be my last choice. read more

I wish that I could do a ZERO STAR review....Patrick Flood doesn't even understand the definition of Good Customer Service, nor does he bother to return Voicemail Message left for him personally, which could have avoided alot of confusion....Originally, they delivered a new Trash Container that I hadn't requested and didn't have room for....I had left him a Message, asking for a callback that never came. Instead, Patrick simply entered the order to pickup my Container, however, had he called me back, he would have learned that I had decided to keep their new Container and discard my old Container....Much to my dismay, I came home on 4/16 to find out that they had picked up their new Container....When I called to explain the situation, I left another Voicemail message for Patrick, which he also didn't return. When I called back and actually spoke to Patrick, he stated that the Container will not be returned until 4/23, leaving us with no acceptable Container for collecting our trash throughout the week. Patrick offers no apologies for this poor service. He is a terrible representation of the Flood Family Name, a HUGE contrast from Brian and Mike Flood, who actually understood how to provide excellent Customer Service. Patrick also doesn't bother responding to his personal email. Pathetic service... read more

Flood Brothers trucks are constantly in the alleyway next to my building picking up the trash/recycling for JeffJack Apartments, where a bunch of bedroom windows are located. They are picking up trash and recycling in between the hours of 1:00am and 5:00am EVERY NIGHT OF THE WEEK. The noise from the pickups is SO LOUD and it significantly disturbs hundreds of residents' sleep on a nightly basis at ungodly hours, which are illegal in majority of the city of Chicago. This is now starting to affect me and my partner mentally and on a physical level as our sleep patterns are being disrupted nightly. PLEASE change your pickups to occur between 6:00am and 10:00pm, and not outside of those hours. read more

This company is such a joke. The customer service is extremely rude. They can careless about any concerns you have. They leave the dumpsters half full on the day of garbage and then claim it is my problem. Will be looking for someone else. read more

do not do business with this company is a completly scam and customer service is terrible they don't answer phone calls or emails, and they use stupid agreements and still charge you wherever they want read more

I talked to some Jerk name Sam today on the phone was a fast talking shyster and won't give you an opportunity to say anything. He claims the payment was made post / after services, which is a lie. The bottom line is they ripped me off and at least 50 of my neighbors. Would anybody else like to join our class action lawsuit? read more

Your drivers are extremely rude. I have personally just watched them (truck #204) drive recklessly down a residential road where children live. When they use the automatic arm on their trucks they don't pay attention to anything that falls out of the garbage cans leaving broken glass, or garbage laying in the curbside. They never put garbage cans back where residents put them, example in the middle of a driveway for resident sto be blocked in or out of their own driveways. Also, our village has told us four or five times that we would be getting Street sweeping and we have yet to see that this year, 2024. read more

I can't say enough about the Flood Bros collection service in Bolingbrook. No complaints whatsoever! The drivers are so courteous and professional. read more

We are supposed to have twice a week trash pick up, Flood Brothers consistently skips our Friday pick ups, & they refuse to give us credits or explanations for the missed pickups. My condo management Co has been trying to resolve this for 2 month, no one calls them back. I have called and left 2 messages for Patrick Flood stating I'd like to work out our issue and Patrick Flood hasn't bothered to call me back. Bad customer service starts at the top, if the owners don't care, and treat the customers badly, why should the rest of the staff be any different? read more

Really bad experiences with Flood Brothers. Curbside service has been inconsistent. Sometimes garbage is serviced as expected. Other times associated leave garbage on the street, tipped over on their side, leave garbage remaining in carts. This week, they mistakenly removed our garbage and recycling carts from the property for past due payment (which was paid). When I called, "Lenny" and another service associate became defensive and refused to accept responsibility for the error. Bring back Atlas. read more

Do yourself a favor and read the fine print closely if leasing dumpsters with these guys. They make it a GIANT hassle to discontinue service even after your contract expires. You'd think you were trying to vacate a mortgage agreement. Insane. We'll never use them again. read more

Steer clear if you can. Patrick Flood is belligerent and you can tell his staff is miserable. Cancelled service in January and questioned when my credit balance was to be refunded. After several calls and emails unreturned, I had to resort to filing claim with IL State's Attorney. Finally received refund in June. I work with people who know him from SFHS and they can concur that he's a spoiled idiot! read more

Terrible service from Steve, he doesn't answer calls. I made a report of a hit on my car and I haven't had any response from them.

The rep needed me to repeat my name several times. This is stupid. I gave them both my partner's name and mine and they kept asking for my name. They already had the address. You'd think that they would know, DUH!!! read more

please read this review! look at my photos for the proof. this company is all about bait and switch price tactics. flood brothers does not own thier own landfills and has to pay larger companies like waste management or republic services to use thier landfills. they use this excuse that this is the reason they went up. we have many other locations that use waste services with waste management and republic that have not increased thier prices on us. flood brothers says the billing will be the same but they are all about going up 30% annualy. (see attached photos) that is way higher then the rate of inflation and regualy increases. patrick was supposed to call me and correct my pricing. he has failed to do so. i have displayed a sign on my led that displays how i feel about flood brothers since they feel like online reviews are not worth responding to. i am on harlem ave and thousands of people will see the sign that says not to use flood brothers. read more

I have been waiting almost 2 weeks for my recycling to be picked up and over a week for trash. Every time I call someone else tells me they will dispatch a truck...no truck has been to our home. We are currently living with trash building up inside as we have no place to put it. Awful customer service! There is no resolution to the issue, yet I will still be charged full price for a service I am only receiving half of the time. I am reporting you to the BBB! Update: after days of complaining and horrible customer service, our trash was picked up but the drivers turned our bin the wrong way so we can't open it to put anything in! Let's see how long this takes to fix... read more

Horrible, unprofessional service. Consistently missed pickups, when you call to schedule or complain they do not care or apologize. They also will never call you back or keep their word to pickup when scheduled. read more

Called them to pick up my garbage because we did not get it out on our appointed day. They said it would be 25$, I said fine. They said someone was on their way. Took my 25$ quickly. However, after running the garbage out, and 10 phone calls later, my garbage sat there for days. Dragged it back in after numerous calls saying they would be there. The fun starts again tomorrow. No wonder they have a 2.5 rating. read more

Please, please, please tell your driver(s) who picks up for Toyota of Lincoln Park (as far as I can tell) to please obey the noise ordinance that is in effect until 7:00 AM here. Yes, this person may be picking up for a commercial business, but the dumpsters are within 50 feet of residential units, and the 5:00 AM pickup times have woken me (and I'm sure at least several others) up numerous times now. Please let me get some sleep. I'm happy to amend or delete my review after this is resolved. read more
