For the 3rd week in a row, Republic Sanitation has been late picking up the recycling bin. Our pick up day is Wednesday the last 2 weeks they didn't pick up till Friday. This past week I called to complain, I was told they would pick up on Friday but no later than Saturday for sure. It's now Sunday evening the bin is still sitting on the street. Please Do Better. The bad thing is you cannot change services. DO BETTER STOCKTON. Just so you know, the recycling bin was just picked up. It's now Monday afternoon 3:30 pm. read more

Sloppy, dropped garbage and didn't pick it up. Never picked up garbage cans on time when they lost account to service our city.

Very professional and pleasant , but sometimes they do not return calls, Hard to reach. Perhaps busy with heavy workload. one should be able to request an annual refuse pick-up online, but one can't. Otherwise, good service with hard-working field personnel as well. read more

Lies! Half empty recycling container. Call same day never picked up. Called throughout the week, and emailed. Talked to representative more lies. Container was never picked up. Horrible service all the way around. read more

Well. Here we are. Still waiting for my container to be picked up. The lengths I had to go to get the trash picked up were ridiculous. Then they picked up and LEFT THE CONTAINER! Chatted again with customer service. They said that the driver was on his way to pick up at 7:27 am! Still here at almost 4:30 pm. Should I drop ot off ro you? Contacting you has just not worked. read more

After my review I received a call and text from Republic Services saying they credited my account for the 3 weeks of services never received. Although I did empty out my garbage can and took some other items around the house that day and paid for a whole load, I do appreciate the credit to my account and want to say thank you. read more

Terrible service. Total scam artists. They repeatedly charge me for an 'extra can' if there's half a garbage bag above the height of the can's top. I also took the time to break down all my cardboard to be recycled and neatly put it in a box but they declined to take it because it needed to 2x2 feet... throwing it away will be easier. Aces Waste service was much better! Rate is also way too high now. All around horrible. read more

Terrible service. I've called multiple times about upgrading my trash can and replacing my yard waste can, with several case numbers and promises it would be resolved, but nothing has been done. Poor follow through and no accountability very frustrating experience. read more

Called to request more information on trash pickup delays and couldn't get a direct answer. It's been 2 weeks, and last week's delayed trash pickup was supposed to be resolved on Saturday. I called to ask for a statement credit since the services weren't rendered, and was told no and to keep waiting for the next scheduled pickup. I'll be filing a complaint with the BBB and anyone else affected by this should do the same. The least this company can do is credit customers for not fulfilling their end of the contract. REPUBLIC SERVICES, pay your employees fair wages and make this right for your customers by issuing credits for missed services this month. We don't get to miss payments so you shouldn't be entitled to our money despite missing pickups. read more

Second time in a row my recycle was not picked up. Tried to call but they will not be back till Monday.

I recently started paying to have my cans brought down my driveway emptied and brought back. I pay extra for this. every other week I have to remind them to bring the cans back. How hard is this. I refuse to bring them in from the street. I am paying for this. The thing is I can't use them when they are at the street. Yes I have a disability. read more

They picked up my garbage nicely. Except for the one broken garbage can they never replaced in 3 years. I sold my house to my son and Republic sends me a bill showing me a $245 credit. I went online to see if I could get the refund. Nope. So today I called them, talked to her really nice lady. She took my information and then nicely told me that she was going to send me a check, get this, in six two eight weeks! The moment she said this I started laughing and I couldn't stop She asked me if there was anything else she could help me with, and while I was still literally laughing I said sure you could send that money into my account right now. But you're going to send me a check and six to eight weeks? This is hilarious " Is this legal? I used to make my payments to them by phone. Why can't they just send me the money back by phone. I haven't had service there for 2 months. Screw this company! read more

2 out of 3 recycling pickups were half emptied. I double check the bin to ensure it was packed loosely. There is no excuse. it appear the truck driver is very inefficient (does not make sure/check if bins are fully empty). When I report to the office, they say "leave the can out, someone will pick it up". It never happens. I so hope I am on the switch to waste management list that will start on Jan 1. read more

This rag tag outfit is the bottom of the bucket. Not only did they unreasonably strike without warning. When they did began service they're service got worst. I don't know if it's management or the drivers or both. Bring Recology to the valley and shoe this small time penny pinching shop how real Pride, Honor and Customer Service looks like read more

They didn't pick up my trash yesterday, even though they picked up everyone else on the street. The bin was where it always is, easily accessible. I called this morning when I realized it was just me, and the woman on the phone assured me it was just a mistake, and a truck would come by before 6pm. At 7pm, I pulled my trash bin in so my neighbors wouldn't have to look at my trash pile up on the street. And now they are closed for the weekend, so I can't even call back until Monday, when it will be a full four days since my trash was supposed to be picked up. read more

Service has gotten so bad. Drivers dump trash everywhere. They used to actually get out of trucks and pick up what they dump onto street. Now? Too lazy. And...after dumping cans they drive down a few feet to end of driveway blocking it then drop the cans. Can't get out of garage. I'm disabled and having to walk down steep incline to move cans so I can get out of garage is dangerous. And.... Other cans are dropped from high position that they fal I l over onto their sides. Last week we had put out bags of garden waste. Properly tagged. And set away from cans to give driver room. Again he has to get out of truck to dump these bags. I noticed when I went to leave the bags had been ripped open and dragged and the cuttings were scattered everywhere. I went back and checked my ring. Looked as if driver after dumping the can closest to bags instead of raising the fork he left it low and purposely dragged the bags till they split. Also... my husband left two 1/2 gallon clear plastic jugs properly taped lid for pick up. That would mean driver has to actually get out of truck to pick them up. Did he ? No! They raise prices but we get crap service. ‍‍‍ update:: driver same back picked up the containers of oil and even put my cans away. read more

Their driver broke my can. When I requested a new one, it took them weeks to send me a email requesting to confirm the can I needed and my address. I responded and they never responded or sent a can. Picked up cans are often left in the street. Pickup times seem to vary by hours at random. What we pay is not worth the service, the value is lacking. read more

They are the worst waste management company to communicate with. I requested a bulk pick up for items I've placed. It was delayed 1 day. I called the next available business day and was told they are on route. They were delayed again. On the next available business day, I called and was told that the driver who was supposed to pick up did stop by decided to NOT pick up due to how much it was. They took a picture. An agent had indicated to me based on the picture, they should've have still gotten it even if extra needed to be charged. Mind you, by this point, I called 3 times. I called another time, because I was told they'd provide me with an ETA supposedly my case was in "Escalation". My husband catches the driver drive by and pick up nothing!!! I called for the 5th time, and they indicated me the operation service has deemed the items unable to pick up and if I wanted each individual item to get picked up, I'd be charged 61.87$ per item. Unbelievable service, the only thing I'd ever rely on this company unfortunately is for garbage services, other than that, I would never ever call them for any other sort of service again. They are incompetent, unreliable, and a terrible waste management company. I'm unsure why my city even decided to contract with this sort of waste management service. They've done nothing but waste my time. Please do not utilize their bulk pick up service, they will do nothing but drive by your house and leave your trash right in front of your house. read more

The person on the phone was great. I have noticed that the recycling has not been emptied fully, several times & the items are not stuck. My neighbor has had the same issue. I would also ask that Republic Services notify its customers in a mass email whenever they are not going to be able to pick up the trash bins & provide instructions on what to do. Residents were writing things on the internet, questioning what was going on. Some residents are on vacation & having others bring in their trash so it would be nice to know when there is a delay. Communication is lacking. read more

If they missed a pick, customer service promises pick up but they never come back. You just pay that week for nothing.

If I could rate this company a zero, that would be the honest truth and fact of this company's service. This is the worst company of waste service I have ever experienced, the only reason people use them is because I believe they are the only waste service provider in my area, if not my whole community would use another service. This company pickup employees are the worst and the most laziest workers in the industry, they literally don't take all the trash out of the bins, they also intentionally miss pickups from homes I believe because they want to do over time. The customer service people you call are pretty much oblivious in actually sending these complaints to the owners of the company or perhaps they are also intentionally not wanted to file complaints of what is actually going on. I once had the waste company come up with an excuse of saying they don't pickup cardboard boxes if they are not broken down, when I sent them a picture of my neighbor having full unbroken boxes sticking out of their bins and still have the waste people pick it up, but left mines, the company quickly sent someone over to pickup my recycling bin. Still till this day, they continue on missing pickups and leaving trash bins half full still. They even missed my whole block a couple of times. I don't understand how they are still in business? read more

Too bad I can't give a 0. These people are an absolute rude joke. I've move to my home since 8/25/19 and my recycle has never been picked up. After hosting a reception I scheduled for 8 bags of waste, both online and called to confirm it. It was not picked up. I love across from a high school, I'm new to the neighborhood and now I'm the nasty house with stinky garbage. After 30+ min on phone with Supervisor Michael they said will pick up bags for $5 per bag and Monday the recycle. Why am I paying full price for their continued missed service. When I asked if next regular pick up my recycle would finally be taken, the answer was yes, I said why now and not for the past 6 weeks. Because a complaint was filed. So even after paying full price for my weekly service and repeated misses, you also have to call in, be angry and demand escalation to a supervisor, file a formal complaint and then the service is supposed to begin. My driver who decided to take the garbage bin but ignore 8 trash bags next to it should have minimum a write up in record. I will be doing research on other garbage options. 89719121 Recycling 89718261 Escalation read more

$25 fee to pick up a missed bin after Christmas. I even asked nicely for a courtesy pick up and still said no. $25!

They missed our recycle pick up last month, after calling every day, they send out a guy in a pickup truck to empty our four houses after we waited a week. Now the very next month, they skipped our eight houses last Thursday. Called and they promised us today, Monday. Well it didn't happen. Us neighbors, Tried to call all day, number wouldn't connect. worse customer service ever!!!!! but skip paying the bill. I wish we had other options here in Rancho Cordova. read more

They told me to make sure the lid was down on all the garbages, and I did exactly as they said, but this is the second week my trash has not been taken....the one with the yellow lid. I have always put the yard work containers on the side of the house, and the smaller house garbage in front. If this is how lazy the drivers are, then I might as well take it in myself and save the money. read more

This company is absolutely HORRIBLE! We just moved and the new house came with the smallest size garbage can. We pay for the bigger can. I was told last week they would switch out the cans on my garbage day and to leave it out until 5. By 4:30 I called because it was not switched out. I got the run around of well that department works until 6 just wait yada yada. Well they NEVER switched my can but are still collecting my money for the larger can. I called and they said I had to wait a week for my next pick up but I could leave an extra bag out. So my next pick up was a Wednesday morning, I called Tuesday to confirm my can was getting swapped out and they said yes. Well Wednesday night for the SECOND week in a row they never came. I called and got the same speal that that department works until 6 and you are still on route and blah blah blah. Well guess what!? Thursday morning after 2 weeks of trash pick ups I still have the baby can when I'm paying for the larger one. I will be calling today and asking to speak with a supervisor! I want what I pay for!!!!!! read more

This company is tremdously hard to communicate with whether it's through email or phone. I've requested to schedule a bulk pick up service and wanted a price quote on a dumpster. No replies to my emails. When I was speaking with a representative on the phone, I was told that the person I needed to speak to is not in, but they'll call me back as soon as possible. That call never came. The lack of decent customer service and simple courtesy in their service department is extremely disappointing. read more

Soooooo I have no idea which employee rated them 3 stars because as a customer I can tell you they are crap!!! I had a bulk pick up scheduled for June 29 prior to that date I called and rescheduled it to July 13. Paid for someone to come and help me move a bunch of things out of my house and yard. Guess what? They didn't show up! I called about 1:30pm on the scheduled pick up date and was told my appointment had been canceled. Are you kidding me? No it was not! And then the person tells me that whoever rescheduled my appointment should have canceled it completely but instead she change the date in the same order so their computer read it as a cancellation and didn't take it as a rescheduled pick up! The soonest someone could be out to my home was the following Friday so not only did my neighbors and myself have to be inconvenienced of looking at a bunch of trash for another week but so would be houseguest visiting the weekend!!! Refused to get me a supervisor on the line. They had to send a message and it would take 24-48 hours! It's Tuesday still NO CALL!!! So I call, same bs and would not put a supervisor on the phone! Took message got a return call finally about 2 hours later and she's calling from that call not Tuesday! She's full of crap because she proceeds to try to tell me as though I made some type of a mistake and they came to pick up stuff and nothing was outside! I don't know who you think you were talking to but I am far from stupid! There is no way on this green earth that I missed an appointment! First of all I scheduled it around my life and when I would have time and someone available to help me pull everything out. The only great thing about the call was the fact that she put me on the schedule for someone to come out tomorrow morning instead of Friday. I thought for the inconvenience they would at least accommodate me and allow me to have extra few feet that was a no! Hate when you are obligated to use a service based off your address!!! Poor customer service! Although Ashley and I forget the first young lady I got were great! Not their fault they work for a janky business!!! I can't send message /response to you (Republic). You will have to send me a message and I'll try to respond. read more

Republic Services - Still sitting outside my house as I post this review!!! Ugh - Recycling Center Near Me - Stockton, California

Customer service sucks when you call them!!!! They are so rude over the phone! Not to mention the garbage men never fully dump your trash can! I have made several attempts to try to gets this resolved and get nothing but attitude. The only time I got positive help was from the inside office rep who's name was Alexus other then that last attempt to get help the lady ( I believe her name was Amelia) wasn't worth a shit!!! read more

Too bad I can't give them a 0. A month ago they broke my can. Got home and the wheels were coming off the bottom. I ordered a new larger can as I've been needing one anyway. Was told by the rep that they'd take my old can at the next pickup and drop off the new. Instead, they took my old can that same day. I had nowhere to put my trash but decided to wait until my next pickup day which is on Wednesday's figuring I'd get the new larger can anyway. Wednesday comes and goes. No can. I called the next morning and was assured I'd have a can by the end of that day or in the morning at the latest. OK. However, a few hours later they call me back to say I'll get my can on the next pickup day and the reason the new can wasn't delivered was because there was no old can to take. Duh! They took my can last week. I asked them what am I supposed do with another weeks worth of trash until then and was told that if I left my trash out front in a bag they'd come by and get it the next day. I wasn't happy about that as there are stray cats around my neighborhood but OK. Well, it's after 4pm the next day and my bag of trash is still sitting in front of my house. I think the real trash isn't in that bag, it's at the offices of Republic. Despite what the review says they get ZERO stars! read more

Garbage not picked up and 3 calls and endless promises and still no pickup. Pickup day is on Thursday and they picked up all but 4 cans on Thursday and then never set out another truck. Called their office and told no problem they would pick up before 5pm. That never happened and so today, Friday, call them twice with the same promise that they would send a truck and 3pm no and still no truck. Called the City of Stockton and got the runaround. If there was anyway to rid myself of these people I would and the City of Stockton as well. read more

Terrible Company. Getting to speak to aa real person is near to impossible. Trying to do it all online is an exercise in futility. They charge a LOT of money per month and the service is horrendous. read more

Wish I could give them 0 stars but this will have to do. Last Wednesday (Oct 17th) the recycling guys didn't pick up our bin. Made a phone call to them and was told to leave it out and they would pick it up on Thursday. By 3 pm when the bin was still there, I called them and they told me that they have until 7 pm to pick it up. AND IT NEVER GOT PICKED UP. Friday morning comes around and I call them they let me know that they will come Monday. Monday comes around and there's no one to pick up the bin. So I call them again Tuesday morning which and I speak with a supervisor (CHRISTINE) who tells me that she's going to have this problem taken care of that day. She also told me she'd call me to update me that day and never heard back from her. As of the time of this review it is 5 pm and the recycling bin is still there. I just got off the phone with them and they tell me that there's nothing to be done. I even asked if I can just leave the excess recycling waste out there and they basically just told me they MIGHT pick it up and if the do I MIGHT BE CHARGED. So not only did they not do their job, now I might be charged because of it, awesome. (FYI I used all my stickers already) I like how I'm supposed to solve this problem when it's not my problem and I've been in contact with them for a week now. I gave them a week to fix the problem and Did everything right from my end but still no service or even a good response. But they'll still collect the full payment at the end of the month. This is the problem when there's no competition, when there's a mistake no one seems to care because you HAVE TO USE THEM. And after 4-5 phone calls and a week, I find out today (OCT 23) that because of a SYSTEM UPDATE THEY DELETED MY RECYCLING AND YARD WAST BIN on their end. This is why it never got picked up. I got no NOTIFICATIONS WHATSOEVER. They knew this was happening and were just handling it on a call to call basis. How is this a service company? How about sending me a mail/email and having me double check my account online? Seems easy enough, but nope. They just gave me the run around with false scheduling and assurances. THEY NEVER SOLVED ANYTHING, I'M STILL BACKED UP WITH TWO WEEKS OF RECYCLABLES AT MY HOUSE AND I'M PAYING FOR A SERVICE THAT NEVER HAPPENED. I wonder how many other people will have this issue due to the "system update." So to sum it up. I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO USE THEM. IF I DID I WOULDN'T AND I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM AT ALL. ***** October 24th 4:50 pm here's another little tidbit. They reply to these reviews and ask you to private message them. Well they have it turned off for their business. So is asking me to pm you just a show making yourselves look like you're solving the problem? read more

In answer to my concerns, I got a mangled message about my municipality and rates and fees. My municipality used to bill me for one month's service in advance, which is understandable, Republic now bills me directly for 3 months in advance all of which is due within 20 days and that is what I consider unfair. Republic's response to my complaint failed to address this issue and their reply was inadequate and uncaring. read more

I live in the country club area (county). Our recycling containers are small baskets(blue). I have noticed over the last few months that several people in the vicinity have more than one and as many as five. I called today about obtaining another one. What a joke. All she wanted to do was have me switch to a larger garbage bin. I told her this was not garbage it was for recycle material. She said they did not have anything like that. I ask her what are these blue baskets that I now have as do most houses out here. Her answer " I don't know". read more

They failed to pick up my trash on the normal day which is Thursday. I called them and they told me they would re route somebody to be at my house to pick up my trash... NOBODY CAME NOBODY CALLED ..NOW THESE IDIOTS ARE TELLING they will be out on Tuesday...WTF. THIS PLACE IS A JOKE read more

If I could give zero star I would!!!!!!! why Why WHY are you guys so inconsistent? We have called 5 times and every time we are told they will be arrivvng the same day and when we call asking why they weren't delivered they give us a future date. Who is managing this placee?!??? I've never had to deal with such a frustrating company!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Update:11/15/18 The company comments back and asks to send them a private message with your information so they can look into this matter but you can't even send them a message. So republic Services if you want to make this right you can message me. Until than I'll be sure to find another trash company The worse!! Been dealing with these idiots for the past 7 months about my bill and my bin size! I'm so fed up with this company. I requested the 60 gallon bin since feb 2018 and I was given the small one and still getting charged for the 60 gallon one. I've been trying to fight this forever! I'm on the phone right now because I called last week about trying to actually get my bin and a lady said she would send one out yesterday (Tuesday) my Normal trash never got it now I'm not the phone with Pam who ain't the lady I spoke to last week and She was throwing all kinds of stories out there... 1st they ran out of the 60 gallon one but nobody notified me FAIL and 2nd story my house doesn't even get the option to get a 60 gallon tank... which this made me more upset because my neighbors have a larger bin than us and they live RIGHT NEXT DOOR. I asked to speak to her supervisor multiple times and she stated they were all busy.. I made a comment saying I'm sure there is some other supervisor manager director who can help.. PAM the rep said "oh yea because you know my job" like wtf are you crazy to tell me that.. she finally got someone on which was a supervisor and they made it an ok ending.. I can't get my 60 gallon bin I can only get 32 or 90 gallon bin. And the price changes. It's not one price for all bins which I was told LAST WEEK... Pam was extremely rude.. she needs to be reprimanded. Too bad I can't go to someone else for trash probably a reason why people are burning trash instead of paying for a pick up because of how unprofessional this company is with all the miscommunication!!! read more
