Good They need to stop and pick up the trash that they drop in the street I see when it's someone else's house that will call and make a big complaint I saw that garbage guy out of the truck picking up all that garbage that he dropped but on my street he just drop it and go that's not so good because we care about our property to read more

Poor service from driver Mario, took boxes and paper from my bin And tossed them in my front yard. The one box had 3 sheets of clean paper towels and a square of bubble wrap. I understand if that's not recyclable, but does not justify throwing it in my front yard. It would have taken less energy for him to put the non-recyclable in the trashcan right next to it, And recycled the two boxes and paper. read more

Republic Services Pacheco - Dumpster Rental Near Me - Pacheco, California

So disappointed in republic recycling! Two phone calls about a missed pickup and my recycling has still not been picked up. on 10/13/2020 , they did not pick up my recycling as scheduled so I called and reported it as a missed pickup and scheduled for 10/14/2020. At 4:45 on 10/14/2020, Randy called to remind them because they drove down my street and did not pick up my recycling. They told him that they would notify dispatch but they had until 5:00 to pick it up. Needless to say, my recycling was never picked up and upon calling them, I have been notified that I could throw it away because if it is "too full" they would not pick it up! read more

GOUGE, they will, was with this company for several years and they gouge you with fake administrative fees, false termination fees, Beware of this company, they are really, really bad, horrible. Remember to check other posts, I'm not making this up, they are a 1 star garbage company, seriously how can you get 1 star for garbage pickup or port a pottys, simple jobs. read more

The worst garbage collection company ever. Second week in a month that they have missed my green can and today they missed the blue can also. When you try and call them you are put on an endless loop of hold music. Eric M. I live in Walnut Creek read more

This company is either understaffed or very lazy. My bins are always tipped over. Trash is thrown across my yard. And this week they forgot to pick up my Christmas tree!!!!! My dad, grandfather and uncles have all been garbage men. I know its a tough job but this company sucks!!!! When I called to tell them that they forgot- the customer service rep said that I Would have to wait a week because the truck was full!!! A week of the tree lying in the gutter/blocking sidewalk in a huge storm=not okay!!!! What is one to do with a very soggy Christmas tree?! They finally came 2 days later to get it. Not impressed. read more

Horrible they charge you and don't pick up! And you can't do anything because that's the service California provides so stupid and worthless

for the 4th time in the past 2 months, your drivers have failed to pick up our trash. they are in such a hurry that they go up and down the street and arbitrarily miss bins. we have spoken with supervisors and management but the situation never changes. contact me so I can provide you with account details. we have left word with your CS to have a manager contact us AGAIN- we demand a refund. Hire more competent staff- these guys are a joke read more

I was a loyal customer for over 8 years, I was unintentionally late with my payment, and my wife called in and talked to a girl about getting our trash picked up, they where very rude to her and told her they wouldn't pick up the trash that week due to us being late on the bill and that they would not credit us that pickup, my wife ask nicely and was rudely declined, so she found another provider that is 38 dollars cheaper, so I put the can at the curb to pick up and the driver saw I was outside drove by my house flipping me off angrily, what is wrong with you guys...so unprofessional read more

i would give this company a zero star if i could!!! they pick up garbage about 40% of the time. i have called numerous times to have my missed can rescheduled, only to have to reschedule that pick up!!! worst customer service ever!!!! read more

Another update: Since speaking to a second Republic supervisor last year, who explained that our issues are related to COVID and staffing (still not sure why no one at Republic customer service has this information), the company has only missed one pick-up and properly emptied all containers. Big improvement. read more

I'd give a zero if I could. Their website is a total joke and their customer service is an embarrassment. If you call they act like you've totally burdened them beyond reproach. It's disgusting that's this is the only option I have for waste removal. Shameful. read more

They have skipped my address two weeks in a row for pick up and have offered me literally NO recourse. What am I supposed to do with three weeks worth of garbage? They skipped Tuesday this week and actually called me to say they'd pick it up Wednesday. Wednesday rolled around and they never picked it up. Called Thursday morning to complain and was told it was being picked up Friday. I'm so fed up!! I wish I could use another service but these derelict incompetents are my only option. And when I called customer service, the lady tried to tell my entire trash route was delayed but that's a flat out LIE because ALL MY NEIGHBORS WERE PICKED UP. DO NOT USE REPUBLIC SERVICE IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO, THEY'RE AWFUL!!! read more

Complete loss of confidence in this company's ability to do anything they say they will do. Someone needs to do a complete audit of the Plesant Hill customer's service level agreement breaches for work orders that are never fulfilled and hold whoever is responsible accountable. Be it Contra Costa county officials or Republic Services operations management. It's unacceptable for any organization that monetizes services to not fulfill services that they contractually agree to do. I scheduled a bulk pick up that was confirmed for pick up. We just moved into the area and spent hours bundling and packaging our recycling to the specifications Republic Services gave us. On the pick up day nobody came and upon investigation I found out that the work order was closed. When I called the service line the agent said someone noted that the schedule was delayed to the next day. The next day nobody showed up, I called them again and the agent told me there was no such report of a re-schedule. The agent then proceeded to schedule it again the day after that with priority and even sent a note to the dispatch management. On the third day I checked in 1 hour before the end of the pick up window, and the current agent confirmed that it was scheduled that day with priority. It's past the window and they still didn't come and pick up the bulk items. Mind you as a customer I am following their requirements and the company isn't reliable for their scheduled pickups. I can't keep moving tons of boxes back and forth to the street expecting promised services that never follow through. We don't have sidewalks in my community so I have to place the boxes in the edge of my driveway which blocks my vehicles. I am also trying to be a good Steward to my community and not leave these boxes in plain sight. Each engagement that was promised and scheduled, this company never communicated to me that the service was going to get delayed or cancelled. I have to call them and. Get no answers for why it didn't happen. I wish I could use another vendor..... read more

Does anyone even read any of these reviews and do something about anything? Coming and collecting the garbage which is there selected occupation is one thing but doing a half ass job doing it is another. When these people come and collect the garbage, they turn it over and if it doesn't come out, that's YOUR BAD. No effort into ANYTHING. Recently I've moved and tried to reach someone to call me back to update my account and services. Left THREE messages and no one called me back... Because no one returned my call and that I don't have time to stay on hold all day long, I was not able to update my account and my garbage wasn't picked up last week. I'm on hold with them now as I type this review -- spoke to a rep, got my information pulled up and put me on hold. Not sure what type of technical difficulties they're having in updating the address but it's taken 30 minutes and 15 seconds and counting. RIDICULOUS. There has got to be a better way and a better business to go to. read more

Reliable trash service is something that can be easy to take for granted, until you don't have it. The time since I have been using Republic, they have not picked up the trash on the assigned day - not once. Sometimes, they just skip a week all together, but won't take excess trash outside of the bin. I recently paid for a large item pickup. I followed their instructions and placed the items by the garbage bins on the curb on our trash day. They did not take the trash in the bins nor the large items. Instead they went down a different driveway of ours, and took large items that were far from the street. Items that they say they don't take like plywood and that weren't on the large item pickup order list. We saw them in process and chased after them but they were already in process of compacting it. They told us to file a claim with the business office, who just said sorry. We hope another company will serve this area so we have another choice. We are not getting what we are paying for with Republic. read more

This company stinks!! After three weeks and nine calls, we still have a broken, dirty can they left with us after removing our perfectly decent, clean can. Terrible customer service, I sure miss the wonderful service we got with Pleasant Hill Bayshore!!! Today, again promised, but not delivered, another week come and gone, stuck with the filthy, broken can. Yuk! I'll remember this when voting for county supervisors!!! read more

We used this service for about 5 years. Too bad we don't have any other choice in Martinez! Once a while the truck driver forgot to pick up either the trash bin, recycle bin or green bin. If we have time we will call , if we don't have time to call the company, we will just live with it. Today the girl (too bad I forgot to asked her name) answered the phone has forced me to give this one star review! They didn't pick up the green bin ( supposed be every other week) for the last 3 weeks, meaning they failed 2 times. Today is 11/24. They supposed picked up the green bin on 11/2 and 11/16. The girl (operator) didn't even apologized to me instead she told me that I should have called the first week when they missed to pick it up. It sounds like it was my fault now. She told me that I have to wait until next Monday (11/30) for the driver to pick it up. I asked if they can pick up a extra trash bag size of greens since the green bin will only got pick up once in November. She told me "oh no, that will be a extra charge." I mean who was training her to be a operator?? Does she even know what is Customer Service!? Not professional at all! She can say,"sorry mam I understand it's inconvenience for you because our driver's fault. Unfortunately our company don't have this policy." But she make it sounds like my fault!! I hope the management of Republic Service see this review should either retrain the drivers or phone operators ! At least get one thing right!! P.s. Saw the other bad reviews from other ppl here ! I can see it will start growing if they don't improve!! read more

Days ago requested a mattress pickup. Confirmed mattress pickup. Re confirmed it same day. And called again when it was not picked up. Will be contacting local municipality to register a complaint. read more

NO STARS for this company! Customers are expected to recycle. I have the expectation that Republic/Allied Waste will pick up my recycles on the scheduled day, every other week. That doesn't happen at least 50% of the time. I waste time calling to get service. I hear many excuses. They bid for and were awarded the contract. They need to provide the service!!!!! read more

I have lived in a number of different Bay Area cities and the Republic trash service in Pleasant Hill is clear and away the worst. On trash day we know we will always have to pick up AFTER Republic, and frequently move our cans from out in the street blocking traffic. Has the city ever polled residents regarding their service or lack There of? read more

Horrible customer service. They missed our pickup on Saturday when our regular pick up is supposed to be Friday. Called on Monday. It is now Wednesday and our stinky garbage is still out there. What do I need to do to get our garbage picked up? Meanwhile, our garbage is piling up! read more

I don't know what the drivers do, but we have had so many times when the driver either skips one side of the street or skips the whole street. I call but I get, "the route is complete today so you will need to wait until tomorrow." Meanwhile, the old food and garbage has been sitting in the hot sun in the cans all day and is rotting. Not sure why we pay good money for trash pick up and get sub standard service. In private companies, the drivers would be fired for their poor performance. UPDATE - Jan, 2019 We are three weeks into the new year and I have called three times for missed pick ups. Week 1 - recycle was picked up two days late Week 2 - both trash and recycle were missed. "Drivers were back in the yard at 1 PM and done for the day." Then, at 4:30 PM, trucks came to pick up both. Week 3 - recycle picked up on one side of the street. After calling, guy showed up four hours after he did the first side. Do the drivers not follow a prescribed route? How hard is it to pick up garbage? Amazing. I registered a complaint to the local office four days ago but not heard back from the route supervisor. Likely I never will..... read more

I previously wrote about the terrible service my block has been receiving, or rather not receiving, and things have only got worse. Trash collection is always late and this last week hasn't been picked up at all (5 days late). I want a credit. I don't know who got ticked off at Republic, but they constantly pass our block by. And when you complain, they deny anything is wrong, and there is what appears to be retaliation. Horrible, horrible service. read more

Poor work ethic and integrity for this company.. Time to hire real driver's who can keep their routes clean and earn their paychecks. No returned calls from the supervisors, guess leadership need integrity and work ethic Also.. Got skipped for no reason, no holidays, Lazy read more

Republic Services Pacheco - Missed again for no reason... No holidays!! Lazy driver's with no integrity... No returned calls from the supervisors.. - Dumpster Rental Near Me - Pacheco, California

I am not super clear why but every other week they miss picking up our green bin or recycling, the garbage pick up always seems fine. This week they missed the green bins on Tuesday, I called Wed and did not hear back, called again Thursday and they said it would be picked up by end of day Thursday, which did not happen, called Friday and was told it would be picked up by Friday end of day and a Supervisor would call me and neither occurred. Now I am being told Monday. If this happened occasionally it would not be a big deal, I get if you have a new driver on the route you might have a miss but it typically happens 2-3 times per month. read more

i do not recommend this company it should be shut down as scam. They charge you $22 a month but refuse to provide any service. It has been 2 1/2 months of no trash pick up. they refuse to issue a credit and always say "will be there tomorrow To collect trash" but never show up. I ultimately canceled my service and anyone looking to start services with republic, prepare for a daily migraine wandering when your trash will be picked up or where your going toput the 80 bags of trash laying by your road read more

We have gotten the best service for years from your company and I'm finally taking the time to let the public know. We live in Alamo and if I ever need a can replacement or new compost/food scrap container all I need to do is make one call and I actually get a human being and not an automated machine. A young lady named Sinia is the most delightful customer service rep I have ever dealt with. She brings back phone etiquette and has a lovely speaking voice. I'm hoping someone realizes what an asset she is to your company and gives her the raise she deserves. Thank you for another wonderful experience. Catherine Schneider, Alamo read more

Do you understand how horrible service must be to leave a review on a waste removal company? And yet here I am writing about the incompetent and moronic people that work for Republic Services. First thing, the men who do the pick up are sexist! I regularly have to ask my male neighbors to get their attention or speak to them because they blatantly ignore me and other women on my block have said the same. Secondly, they charge you for anything, the lid is slightly up, it was raining when we picked up your trash, ANYTHING its ridiculous! Their customer service reps are idiots. Im talking to you Mary. What is the purpose of leaving requests on the app if they take a week to review and if I mail a request on a holiday, you still need to review it after the holiday hint hint work doesn't stop because its a holiday and emails received on holidays are not null and void you still have to read and respond to them. Also, when speaking to someone, not everything needs to be followed with an mkay and giggle, its called professionalism, look it up (but of course not on a holiday). read more

Their phone line, when calling customer service, has some ongoing static. However, their customer service was great when I called this morning to set up an account for garbage/recycling/yard waste pickup. The customer rep was friendly, and explained to me that that they require at least a week's notice to start/stop service. Since I am moving into my house on Feb 27th, she said to call by February 24th to have my first pickup happen on the 3rd of March, a Friday (in my new neighborhood, the garbage/recycling/yard waste gets picked up on Fridays). For homeowners, they require that one faxes a copy of the deed showing home ownership, or a faxed copy of the most recent property tax bill showing the property's address and the homeowner's name. I liked how the rep made sure that all my questions were answered before ending the call. In my opinion, the Contra Costa Water District customer service reps could learn a lot from Republic Services' customer service department. read more

Wow it is amazing how low the reviews are for this company. How nice would it be to have options to choose a trash company on our own and not forced into something the city chooses. Yesterday they missed the recycle bins on my side of the street, maybe on both sides but I only noticed my neighbors and my own did not get emptied. Today the truck made an unusual round so I rushed my bin out to the street while the driver was dumping the neighbors can. When the driver pulled up he asked me if my bin was full? Pretty sure he saw me rush to put it out in front of him as he was dumping the neighbors can so I was unsure why there was any question. I said "it's about 3/4 full" and pointed to the side of the can at the level. He said OK I'll dump it as if he was doing me some kind of favor. So he was not doing me a favor, he was providing the service I pay for and doing that a day late inconveniencing me since I had to put my can back out. I asked him what happened yesterday, he said the driver was sick. OK, fair enough but anybody with any decent customer service would have probably been apologetic for the gap in service. Next the driver goes on to say he won't dump it unless I am 20' away. So I back up behind the concrete pillar to what seems to me like 20' away. I put my arm up indicating I am ready for him to dump. Then he shuts the truck off and yells at me, "I've got all day and I won't dump it until you are at least 20' away" as if there was some kind of challenge between he and myself. So I backed up another 10' which would have been inside the house if had a small driveway. Then the driver starts the truck up and dumps it the fastest I have ever seen one of these trucks move and roars off. I give the company 2 stars since they do the job most of the time but they really get zero stars for customer service. read more

I had some piles of branches cut from my trees that needed to be removed to the landfill. Shaquona processed my request and gave me valuable direction in a fun and professional manner.

Thank You Shaquona and Mark for being the Best at handling a challenging project. Rick Melville read more

I absolutely love my physical service. Where Republic falls short - very short is phone customer service. I have an on-going issue for months now. Each time I call I am told a supervisor will review my original call and call me back. Not once has anyone called me! The last time, I even requested them to place a note within the account as to it NOT being delinquent until they fix it. However, I am now getting notices of my services getting cancelled if I do not pay. This is all in their error and could get resolved if they listen to my original call to find out I never asked for my service to be changed and fix the bill! Could be easy but no one in management thinks it is important enough to call me back and resolve! read more

This company needs to be dismissed from providing services. People who answer phone do not know what they are doing. One person says one thing and then another person says anothe.....terrible company!!!!!! read more

I have been a customer for over 33 years with 3 properties, so when there was a glitch in my auto pay did they let me know...nope, just closed the account and let me provide a deposit to become again a "client in good standing", even though my statement continued to note: *Thank You For Your Automatic Payment". Shame on this behavior and I am happy to note Benicia is considering another waste company, I shall add my thoughts to city decision makers. read more

My Recycling Bin was missed this week. I called and was told the driver will be picking up next day, Never happened. I called multiple times since they kept saying we will call you back, nobody was able to help me. The last rep I spoke with told me they had no record of my calls and put me on hold for 15 minutes then came back and said they will be charging me $40 to have the driver pick up my recycling bin. WTH!!! Worse service ever! What is the email address I can send my information to? read more

This is the THIRD straight week they've missed my garbage pickup. I had to call 3 TIMES last week to get last week's missed pick up and even left a message for the supervisor "Julio" who by the way NEVER called me back. Terrible customer service and terrible company. read more

If I can give zero star. I would because of their lousy service in Orinda. Our trash was not pick up on Tuesday because of high wind in the area. We called Wednesday to be told someone would come out to pick it up that day or Thursday at the latest. Thursday come and gone, no trash was ever pick up. I called again Friday to be told that they are aware of it and some one would come before 6 PM. No one ever come by to pick up the trash. Here we are Monday, I called and told that they will do me a favor and add extra pick up on my regular trash day which is Tuesday. Republic is a lousy company when it comes to service. Please stay away from this company for any kind of service. I am sending a nasty email to Mayor of Orinda read more

WHY IS THERE NO "0" STAR???? I am forced to use their incompetent services. I have kindly called in speaking to staff about numerous accounts where they have not picked up our waste... this last example was what "broke my back!" Why are we paying for such services??? 9.17.20 out of 5 of us in our courtlet, only 3 green wastes got picked up. 9.18.20 i emailed a request regarding the missed services 9.22.20 i called on behalf of myself and my neighbor requesting our green wastes be picked up as i did not receive a reply to my email (shocking right?) and spoke to a young man, who put in a request for the next day 9.25.20 our green wastes are still sitting curbside, it's now friday! and no pick up as promised. i call and speak to Mercedes, who again puts in a request for pick up for the next day, saturday 9.28.20 NO PICK UP!!!! i call and speak to Sylvia... who puts in a request for pick up 9.29/tuesday and notifies the supervisor... 9.29.20 NO PICK UP!!! i call for the 4th time, speak to Craig! He requests for pick up 9.30, and notifies the supervisor AND the operational manager!!! 9.30.20 NO PICK UP!!!!! and now.... it's 2 weeks past, 10.1.20 is green pick up again, and i can't refill because REPUBLIC SERVICES COULDN'T DO THEIR DAMN JOB!!! we shouldn't be paying for services we don't receive, especially when you increase our fees! complete incompetence, and FYI republic services, that is NOT A COMPLIMENT! read more

I am so frustrated. I called in an order for a mattress set to be picked up on our usual Monday pickup day. Set it out at the curb Sunday and they picked up all our containers but left the mattress set. I called late afternoon and they said it would be picked up by 6. Nope, Tuesday came and I called again. They promised to picked it up before 6 pm. Now it will be Friday morning soon and I have called five times with the same promises each day. How long does this take? My neighbors are slowing down and giving me the stink eye when I am outside. read more
