After 15 years of rate increase after rate increase we decided to try someone else. I can sum them up in one line. "The same service as White Oak Sanitation for almost double the price." read more

In the past 5 years my bill has gone up $153.61 with NO increased value of service, my trash is often left past pick up date even though I pay my bills on time. I received my recent bill with NO notice that an overall increase was going to take place. Find another trash service if you can they are not the best, they will charge you late fees on additional payments that they randomly send outside your usual bill. They are money suckers read more

It took me 5 customer service reps (one was a supervisor - useless) until I got Emily in Indianapolis, IN who took care of the problem in 10 minutes. I was on the phone an hour and a half with the other reps. One of the customer service reps told me sometime you can't fix the problem - can you believe that. Meanwhile, took Emily a total of 10 minutes to fix the problem which was on their end not mine. If anyone ever calls the Wider office direct be fore warned they jus out and out LIE. read more

My yard trimmings have been sitting in front of the house for 8 days now. I was told last Friday morning (6/26) that they would be picked up then. On Monday (6/29) I was told they should've been picked up, my service had been paid for, and I was in the assigned route, and a supervisor would be notified. On Tuesday (6/30) I was told the bags should've been picked up and the supervisor had until the end of the day to get back to me. It's now Thursday, 7/2, another scheduled pickup day. I have not heard from a supervisor and the bags are still in front of my house. read more

UPDATE! THIS COMPANY IS STILL TRASH. I HAVE BEEN MISSED FOR FOUR CONSECUTIVE WEEKS. I spoke with customer service rep Ashley this morning and demanded and apology for the poor service and her response to me was, "WHAT THE FUCK, YOUR ATTITUDE SUCKS"! Please private message me if you want to join hands to stop this mess once and for all. Let's show these jokers what the power of the people really means. read more

Week 4 and my recycling has not be collected. My bin is full to the top, overflowing. Tried calling customer service but keep getting the round around.... read more

We, in good faith, paid $60 for our next 3 months service. After two weeks of absolutely NO trash pick up, even after repeated calls, I called and cancelled our account and talked to the representative about receiving a refund since they NEVER picked up our trash. It took them another two weeks and another phone call before they finally came to pick up their cans. My husband called AGAIN to ask about our refund and was told it would be sent out within two weeks. Well, we finally heard from them, but instead of a refund, we received a BILL for $9.17!!! Yes sir, they charged us nearly $35 for the cans and through some convoluted math came up with us OWING THEM!!! PLEASE DO NOT EVER USE THIS COMPANY! They do not provide good customer service and they need to be driven OUT OF BUSINESS! Zero stars from me! read more

To the customer service department that responded to my review: Unfortunately I do not see where I can message you privately. Maybe you should reach out to me if you really want to get something done. Be proactive. Stop making your customers come to you for resolutions. read more

I called in March to request new garbage service from Republic. The guy on the line quoted me a price, I gave him my card number for the $50 deposit and was told I would have a new can out in a few days. After a week and a half with no can, I called on April 7th and talked to a girl asking when the trash can would be delivered. She told me then that there was a mistake and the person I talked to did not have the "promo code" to give me the price he gave me so she increased it by $20. I asked her to cancel my service and return the $50 deposit back to me. She said that she would have to request that a check be cut and the process could take up to 10 business days. On May 7th, I still had not received my $50 and called back. I was told by the girl on the phone who did sound quite sympathetic that she would look in to it. She came back and said that the paperwork had been submitted and she wasn't sure why I had not received the check. She gave me two options...wait for the check or call my bank and report it as a fraudulent charge so I could get my money back sooner. Today, May 21st, I still have not received my $50 back from Republic. My bank has graciously agreed to file the fraudulent charge but it's ridiculous to have to go through this with a once reputable company. We too went with White Oak and they have been great. My parents are currently going through the hassle of dealing with no trash pickup from Republic and will soon be switching. read more

Service has gone downhill! I have called for two weeks to see why they missed picking up my Christmas tree! Promised they would come and get it! Even missed my regular pick up! I am canceling service and they want to charge a $60 pick up fee of the cans! I have to take my tree to a service today, out of my time! Never use Republic! They broke their contract with me and said I am breaking a contract with them! BS! I cancelled service and they were to pick up cans on Tuesday, they are still in front of my home! Today is Wednesday read more

Quite possibly one of the worst companies I have ever come across. Tons, and I mean tons, of missed picked ups. They've upped their game by not even bothering to come back and pick up the missed trash. Does no good to call and report the missed pickup or even log it online. You might as well tell the tree in the yard. The tree might actually be concerned. Go with WhiteOak Sanitation. Its cheaper and they are professional. **Update** And they missed the pickup from THIS WEEK AS WELL. Unbelievable. And to add some insult to it, the CS rep I had to talk to was giggling when she saw I was annoyed. What a great company! I just want these people to empty the can so I can dump it at their office. Contratulations Republic Services: you made the news. https://www.cbs46.com/news/barrow-county-residents-need-help-taking-out-the-trash/article_23db6d9a-60bc-11e9-95c1-1b01e61188d5.html?fbclid=IwAR23JTNOmdk546XJOalPmogeeb1CFEcxq7QHM7J8XaXhlz2lds5EP9Jv3h4 read more

I've had wet recycling sitting on my curb for two months because of late/no services from Republic. For the last two months I receive text messages from Republic stating services would be delayed, which ended being cancelled. Trash pick up didn't happen for two weeks at one point. I've cancelled services and Republic said they'd be here yesterday to pick up my trash/recycling bins and waste. Guess what, the bins are still on my curb and will probably be so for a month. Terrible service and DO NOT recommend. read more

Think before you are tempted by a few dollars in savings. I ordered service 2 month ago. Still no trash cans. No returned calls from upper management. The ladies on the phone says they don't know when they will get more garbage cans. What! That is your business and you are still accepting new customers... But they remembered to send a bill! I'm going back to Red Oak, they showed up on time and actually gave me garbage cans! No service to a new customer for 2 months! I gave up. They obviously don't value your business! read more

Do you like paying someone to *not* get your trash? Our trash went uncollected for three weeks. I called and called, and each time I was promised the next day. I eventually just cancelled my service two weeks ago. Guess who can't even come collect their trashcans? You got it - these guys. Their cans have been at the end of my driveway for two weeks. When you call customer service, they don't actually help you with *anything*. They just tell you that whatever event you are waiting on is either scheduled for today or tomorrow. Guess what? They probably won't come either of those days. I can't imagine a worse customer service process. When I'd finally had enough and called to just cancel, no attempt was made to salvage me as a customer. No attempt was made to explain what the issue actually is on their end. Nothing. Just a "whatever" attitude, talking to me like I'm the one who has a problem. Well, my problem is almost over. Come get your cans, don't screw up my refund for the three weeks of service you didn't provide, and get to work unscrewing your company. read more

Ok, so Republic Services said they were going to make it right? Well, trash is still there, no one called, the piss poor customer service remains intact! Please come and get the trash and your container, I have had enough....... Sept 13th update, called in and was informed that I wasn't picked up because of Irma, imagine over 3 weeks because of Irma! These people are looking so hard for something to blame other than themselves. And to top it off, they have to bill me for the entire month, even though I've not had a pickup in September! Just come get my trash and your container NOW! Please don't use this company if you have any other choice for trash collections! sept 14th, trash remains! These folks are deplorable, how they can blow 3 years of wonderful service by changing a pickup day and not picking up, now they are written up on the BBB site as well! read more

Republic Services Winder - Dumpster Rental Near Me - Winder, Georgia

Every month for over a year, they miss the trash pick up for my townhouse building AT LEAST twice a month. I report it, as for a call back and ask that they credit my account. then, I get my bill for the whole quarter. No credits, no call from management. Republic, you are doing a terrible job. Do better. read more

We have used Republic Services for about 15 years. Our trash service is like a joke with them. When it rains they never fail to leave our container lid open so the container is full of water. Of course when it is not raining they close the lid. Recycle service is terrible. Our service is hit or miss. When they pick it up, we have to clean up the street from the mess they make. The latest recycle hasn't been touched in a month. The service is supposed to be every 2 weeks. They didn't pick up 4 weeks ago. I called and they said tomorrow. In fact, every time I call, they say tomorrow. Two weeks after they missed it, they missed it again. They were supposed to pick it up today. No such luck. Now we are on week 5. I found out when I call to complain, their call center is in another state and the call center has to email the recycling people for my area. The recycling people may or may not reply. So, now we are on week 5. I am look into White Oak. My neighbors have White Oak and now I can understand why! read more

Worst service and company for trash service in Georgia. They do not pick up trash on time. Account representative is not responsive to any of your concerns and dishonest. Customer Service representatives are rude when you call to inquire about the on going mis trash pick up. One rep told me trash is on a 3 day delay and no need to call again asking about your service. They increase your monthly bill by several dollars without any explanation. And the account representative or division manager do not respond to calls or emails. And their rates are much higher than other trash providers in the area ,however they provide inadequate service. Terrible company /stay away. read more

Republic Services Winder - Trash not picked up - Dumpster Rental Near Me - Winder, Georgia

After weeks and weeks of calling to get the additional can we ordered and pay for, you finally bring it. Nowwwwww we can't get you to empty it. Every single week my husband and I are on the phone seeing what the problem is AGAIN! And again the CSR, who's usually rude AF, blame it on operations. Last week none of the subdivision trash was picked up, and we received no notice, no emails, nothing. Finally we we call yet again, we're giving a date of tomorrow. Almost an entire week late. This is extremely disappointing and horrrrrrrriiiiibbbbllleeeee customer service! read more

I just sent out a message to the entire neighborhood to advise not to use this company. I've got to say that this has to be the worst company that I've ever dealt with. I cannot think of any that have even come close to being this bad. I've spent hours of my time on the phone with this company because of missed pick ups. It is impossible to call the local branch. When you call a local number, you get transferred to a call center. I really feel sorry for these call center ladies-I know they take a ton of calls from upset customers. A few months ago, I finally had a manager in the local branch give me his personal cell number. I really hated it for that guy because I was calling him on a fairly regular basis. I could hear the drop in his voice whenever he got my call. He finally got things running smoothly. Unfortunately he left the company and everything is back to crap again. You don't want to do business with this company, trust me. It's missed pick up after missed pick up and then tons of time on the phone. My recycling hasn't been picked up in two weeks. Today, this company hit rock bottom in my book. After my Friday missed pick up, they told me to put the can back out Monday morning and they assured me that it would get picked up. I was home today to witness my two weeks of recycling, full bin, get put into the back of a regular trash truck. So now this company is unethical as well. I called the local office again and again, got transferred to a call center. I told them that I wanted a call back from an office supervisor. Nobody ever called me back. I'm trying to find the right government agency to complain to now that I've got the recycling complaint. This is just not right. read more

The local offices of Republic Services are pathetic. If you live in Gwinnett County, you are stuck with who they provide which In my case is Republic. It's captured business for them so service apparently doesn't matter. I have 2 cans, I emptied one and the other left full. 6 calls throughout a week provided nothing but hot air. read more

Four years ago when we received a promotional offer to change sanitation companies, Republic Services offered the best deal in my part of North Fulton. Overall, I was pleased until prices started to creep up and service simultaneously took a nosedive. Now it's to the point where any bags of trash left curbside but outside the container could carry an extra charge. Another disposal service (not a competitor of Republic in my area) informed me that Republic Services uses a strategy of lowballing initial rates to entice new customers to sign up. Insult to injury, I was never told about an unscrupulous $24.95 fee for container removal following the cancellation of service. There is no direct phone number to the company's local office so I have to wait for a supervisor to call me so I can discuss this horrendous charge. I was willing to return my container to the local facility in Cumming, GA but was told by a customer service agent that container self-return is only available to customers in certain areas. I even offered to take my container and meet their third party container pickup vendor at a date and time of their choice but that win/win solution isn't an option either. I wrote to their customer service department via their website. Three weeks have passed and I have yet to receive a response. After cancelling my service, the empty container that scheduled to be picked up on January 2 was never retrieved. Nor was it picked up as promised the next day. However, even with my trash collection service cancelled, Republic Services still attempted to pick up the trash from my empty container. I was told I had to retain their trash can for another eight days until Republic Services can schedule a truck to pick it up. That amount to nothing but further misinformation. Republic Services arrived two days earlier than the time they indicated. This hapless corporation doesn't possess the minimal organizational skills needed to get out of its own way. Good riddance to Repugnant Services. read more

These people don't even deserve 1 Star. Stay as far AWAY from this company as you can. I am a business customer and they continue to fail to pick up my trash on designated days. I own a childcare center and absolutely need timely trash pickup for our garbage! (Diapers, food, etc...) We are overflowing and have no more room for trash! Customer service is useless. 3 days later and I still can't get an answer as to when my dumpster will be emptied???? Completely unacceptable. Looking for another trash service.... any recommendations? read more

If zero stars was an option, I would have selected it. Let me just tell you that I've called EVERY SINGLE WEEK since we bought the house at the end of April. I am so disappointed that a county, especially Gwinnett County would choose the worst service ever and we don't have the option to change it. They continue to bill me and the previous owner after I've called several times to tell them to get rid of the previous owners information because they don't live here anymore. The representatives don't even know their information and I've been told 30 different things regarding the miss pickup and adding additional services and so much more. So so so poor. read more

The ever changing stories from the customer service representative tell me that there is no communication between management and front line workers. It has been very frustrating to get my issues resolved. Finally cancelled and they hit you with a huge container removal charge. Please be aware that the services you are receiving are lacking in every way imaginable. Just contacted by Laura from the local office. This is what customer service is supposed to be. Someone who cares, listens and doesn't pass the buck. read more

Such a crime that choice of waste removal company can't be made in Gwinnett! This company is horrible. Called Thursday to make sure yard waste would be picked up. Told us YES. We rebagged all and put it back out for second time. Guess what no pick up! Need to vote out the decision makers who made this a monopoly for them because now they don't give a crap about customer service. read more

I can not believe how these people think they can treat people. They charged us $280/month and then Stephanie (worst customer service jerk ever) insists on a certified letter to cancel the service. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! read more

2 months ago did not pick up recycling and called every day for 10 days to get it picked up. Last week picked up recycling 2 days late ( at least you called about it). This week my normal garbage can is still not picked up and hoping I don't have to call every day for 10 days. How hard is it to pick up the cans? Go with another provider if you have a choice, used republic in Indiana prior to moving and never ever thought about the trash. Can you relocate the crew from Indiana to here? read more

NEVER USE THIS ATROCITY OF A SO CALLED "BUSINESS" !!!!!! STAY AWAY AND USE WHITE OAK! We canceled our regular trash service for our hom in SEPTEMBER and requested our bin be removed THAT WEEK. We called the TERRIBLE customer service reps on a WEEKLY basis because our bin continued to sit outside for 3 GOD FORSAKEN MONTHS!!!!!!!! After MANY frustrating phone calls, our bin was FINALLY picked up in DECEMBER!!!!!! 3 WHOLE MONTHS LATER!!!!! And it wasn't even picked up on the day they told us it would be! They said it would be picked up on a Friday and they picked it up on a Tuesday! Thankfully we just left it at the end of the road all week or it may not have even been picked up AGAIN! The absolute LAST STRAW with this terrible company was that our account was closed 3 months ago and we were told by MULTIPLE representatives that we had no remaining balance on the account. Then I get a letter in the mail from a collections agency saying we owed them $86 for a whole quarter of services TAHT WE DIDNT EVEN ASK FOR BECAUSE WE FREAKING CANCELLED!!!!!!!!!!! So now due to the pure IDIOCY of the people they have working here, we now have a ding on our credit because of THEIR ERROR!!! I'm blown away by the utter incompetence of everyone in this entire company!!! They should be shut down completely and never allowed to operate as a business again! We will be disputing the charges and the second they open tomorrow they will be hearing from us. I never leave reviews. I never get this upset. I've worked in customer service for 15 years now and im usually understanding. But after hundreds of phone calls and this being an ongoing issue MONTHS later, they deserve the hell out of this review. If I could leave negative stars I would. Absolutely ridiculous. STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!!! read more

We recently bought a house that's a little "out of the way" and decided to go with Republic mostly because they were the company the previous owners used so we knew they serviced our street. When I called to establish service, I found out that the cans from the previous owner (which were still at our newly purchased house) were supposed to be picked up the previous week (this should have been a red flag). However, since we still had the cans, the rep I spoke with told me that we could avoid the can delivery fee by continuing to use what we already had. That sounded fine so we went with it. Our first trash/recycling pick-up went as scheduled without a hitch. On the second pick-up date, however, the cans were picked up along with our garbage and recycling. I called customer service and was told that the cans had been picked up by accident and that they would deliver new cans at no additional charge since it was their mistake. New cans were delivered and everything seemed to be fine, until I got a bill for delivering said cans. So I called customer service yet again, and this time was told that if the cans had not been picked up, the people whom I bought the house from would have been charged for them and that new cans absolutely had to be delivered--so the exact opposite of what the two previous reps had said. The rep went on to say that if I paid the fee then I "might" get a credit on my next bill. She also said that she would escalate the issue (not sure to where). Needless to say, I now plan on finding a different company and cancelling my service. read more

Terrible service! I do business with Republic Services because they have a contract with Gwinnett County (Georgia) Solid Waste. I would dump them if I could. I moved into my new home six weeks ago. In that time, my recycling has been picked up regularly, but my trash has been skipped three times. By my math, that's a 50% failure rate. When you call the local number to contact their customer service line, you will be redirected to a call center who-knows-where. Each time, I've called them to get the problem resolved. Each time, the person "assisting" me has scheduled a separate pick-up and assured me that the problem has been corrected. Most recently, I was told that the problem was that my account was not completely set up from the beginning. I'm not entirely sure I believe this because they seem to be picking up on alternate weeks. I've since contacted Gwinnett County Solid Waste to complain. For what it's worth, they request that complaints be lodged through their office (770.822.7141) so that they can address the problem and have a record of it. I'd really like for this to be resolved once and for all because, believe it or not, I really do have other things to do with my Monday mornings. read more

10/10/2020. It is now two days late for the second straight week. Being that this service is paid through my escrow with no other service option, I am very disappointed! I am sending a strong message to the Winder, GA branch to get your **** together! read more

Worst service and experience. During the whole time I had the service my recycling was NEVER picked up every time I called they stated it would get picked up and never did, this went on for two weeks!! I ended up canceling the service after a month and expected a refund on the amount from the recycling since it was NEVER picked up. They never refunded my amount after continuous calls and waiting for a supervisor to give me a call back I decided to give it up and be done with this company. Only to get ANOTHER bill for $67 for the removal of the trash cans!! I couldn't believe they are still trying to bill me for a service they were never able to do in the first place. I wish I had read the reviews before setting up service with Republic, they have horrible reviews and I can see why read more

I paid my deposit, the container was never delivered. I was left with all the trash from my move in plus regular life. To add insult it took forever to get my money back. Don't bother. read more

I wish we had looked at these reviews and bailed from this scam of a company a long time ago. A cursory glance at these horrible reviews, which are almost identical ( spotty pick-up, terrible customer service, outrageous fee to pick up their cans once an account is cancelled) should lead to a class action law suit and shut this rip-off business down. I am contacting the Better Business Bureau tomorrow. If you wish to know why we chose to cancel and pay the $60 fee for them to pick up their empty cans, which are currently sitting at the street awaiting an overdue pickup, simply read any of the other 50+ one-star reviews. Republic, on a regular basis, failed to pick up trash, often twice per month. When customer service was contacted, there were promises but no refunds or compensation. Trash pick-up became a flip of the coin, yet they expected full payment. With the last skipped pick-up, we called to cancel, only to be told that there was a $60 fee to pick up EMPTY cans -- duh, these idiots don't get the simple fact that people cancel BECAUSE their cans AREN'T EMPTIED! This "business" is a scam that should be sued and shut down. Spread the word. Tell your neighbors. read more

If I could I would give them no stars! I have had to call them every week since Christmas 2018 to pick up my recycling. I wish I could use another company but because Gwinnett County forced me to use this crappy company. I can't believe I have to continue to call them every freaking week! The owner must really be proud of the shit company he/she runs! read more

If I could give a negative review, I would. They are definitely what business they provide. TRASH! When I started using them I was paying roughly $75 every quarter. Not bad and competitive with the only other service that as provided in my area. After 2 years with them, my rate increased by 200%. I was paying close to $160 per quarter with no reason as to why. When asked they told me it was because of my developing area. I told them my area hasn't had anything come close to being called developing. Gas prices are actually .23 lower than they were 2 years ago but a "Fuel fee" was added along with an "administrative fee," to my bill. I called to cancel early this year (Jan 2020) and was still given a bill with no explanation of why it was still $17. I then had to call again and find out why I was being charged, no one could give me an answer. They told me they would call me back and inform me if anything had changed. No call. It is now the end of Feb. and I just received another bill for $92 FOR THEM TO PICK UP MY CANS!!! ARE U F#$%$ KIDDING ME!!!! I would have brought them to them if that was the case and left them in the lobby like they leave my trash on the side of the road when they miss pickups. Do not use Republic. They are nothing but price gouging thieves. Also they made the news for their horrible service. https://www.cbs46.com/news/barrow-county-residents-need-help-taking-out-the-trash/article_23db6d9a-60bc-11e9-95c1-1b01e61188d5.html?fbclid=IwAR23JTNOmdk546XJOalPmogeeb1CFEcxq7QHM7J8XaXhlz2lds5EP9Jv3h4 read more

Republic bought out Robertson Sanitation in Barrow County, GA. At first we had no problems with them. Within the last year their service has gone down hill in the past year. The garbage men continually leave the empty receptacle s in the road making it a hahard to drive around. They have even picked up the people across the street and totally ignored our trash. When I called customer service I was told that they have until 6:00 pm to come back out to pick up our missed trash. It took 2 more days to get our trash picked up after me calling AGAIN! Seriously considering changing companies. read more

Warning!!! This company will charge you to place and remove containers; yet, they will not tell you the full details of their billing up front. Ask them before you sign up how much it is going to cost you for "Administrative Fees", "Delivery Fees", and "Fuel/Environmental Recovery Fees". The rub: (Why did I cancel my service after 3 years?) They did not collect my trash on time in more than 7 weeks. The final straw was the missed pickup and I contacted them. The flagrant response that they would get to my pickup within the next 2 weeks is what threw me over the edge. I paid for weekly pickup and they failed to deliver on that commitment. I cancelled and now they want me to pay an additional $25 for a container return fee + $6 Administrative and $10 in fuel and environmental fees. Mind you it is about 4 miles to the regional office where the cans are located so $2.50 per mile? Had they warned me that they would want a fee to pickup the can at the onset of our agreement, I would never have agreed to service. Had they warned me when I canceled my service, I would have gladly returned it the 4 miles myself; but, they did not. Republic Services, this is shameful! read more
