This morning was one of those mornings where you're just glad you made it out the door on time--completely hectic. Before leaving to drop the kids off, I noticed my trash can had been absolutely obliterated by a gang of raccoons who clearly hosted a full-blown midnight rave in it. Trash everywhere. On the way home to deal with the mess and put the bin out - my heart sank as I drove past--everyone else's bins were already empty. I thought, "Oh no... the trash truck came early. How am I going to make it until next week? My bin at this point looked like it was actively throwing up. But THEN--I pull into my driveway and see the trash guys not only grabbing my bin, but picking up all the raccoon crime scene debris around it like absolute legends. I genuinely considered hugging the guy, but decided I didn't want to end up on someone's Ring camera as "emotional lady assaults sanitation worker with gratitude." Seriously though--shoutout to these men. They went way above and beyond, and completely saved my day. Tiger Sanitation, LLC., Thank you! HB, Boerne, Texas read more

NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A SERVICE THEY DIDN'T RECEIVE. I set up service with Tiger Sanitation in August 2025 under a signed quarterly billing agreement, $75.15 per quarter. Within weeks they switched me to monthly billing without my knowledge or consent and sent an invoice for $122.51 I never agreed to. I reported 13 missed pickup days in October alone, due to bins being blocked by traffic from the adjacent high school. Tiger refused all credits and told me to call the police, contact the HOA, and place traffic cones on a public road. Police said it wasn't a crime and to stop calling. The HOA has no jurisdiction over the county road. So I kept losing service while still being billed in full. I chose not to renew. Tiger has no online cancellation option -- only phone or "formal" written request -- violates the FTC's Click to Cancel rule. They denied receiving my cancellation requests, then a representative admitted on a call she had one on file, directly contradicting their own written response. Even after moving, I'm forced to drive by the property to check if they've retrieved their own bins, because they'll charge a $100 "unreturned cart" fee and a $25 cancellation fee -- neither disclosed at signup. They billed me for a full quarter I never authorized after I'd already moved out which is also not disclosed at set up. Very sketchy! read more

See all

Today, 7/15/26, we have crazy rain with thunder storms. The rain has moved rocks into the street and trash cans are knocked over. The recycling team handling the Scenic Crest community, Nate, Jake and Alan, is working hard and helping us. We appreciate it! AK read more

Last week Tiger failed to completely empty my trash can. I called daily and was preach day that it would be picked up "tomorrow". Their system gave ridiculous wait times of 15 HOURS, 29 HOURS and one rep told me that their system told one rep the wait time was 250 HOURS! Insane. They finally said I had to wait until my regular pickup day which was today. AGAIN they failed to fully empty my trash can. As a retired senior citizen, I can easily lift the bag out of the trash can so it's not jammed in the trash can. No excuse. Today I have been waiting over 2 hours to get a call back from leadership. Use anyone else! read more

I would not recommend this company. At all. I called to cancel my service and these people told me I can't get a refund for the unused month on my service that I want to end early. So now I have to keep my service for a month that I don't want AND pay for them to get the trash cans. I've never heard of a company not giving a customer a refund for services they no longer want. I will never use them again and will definitely not recommend them. Money grabbing people! I think I will call corporate office because this is bullshit! read more

I requested a bulk pickup. They charged me and now my things are still on the curb since Friday! Their hold times for calls are an hour. Their phone system is broke today. The service rep won't contact dispatch, just looks at notes. Do NOT request anything extra from them. read more

Well after 20 yrs of Service with these people they make up some lie that the my power lines are too low for the driver to pick up my dumpster. So they won't service me any longer??? WTF. The lines haven't moved or a storm damaged them. They just don't want to bother to come in my neighborhood since they don't have many customers over here to service. You suck & customer service people suck & lie!! They don't even deserve a star! read more

Just want to say that during the storm we just had, Nate, Jake, and Allen came to the rescue and got my recycling can and then pushed it all the way back into my driveway. Tiger's employees have always been great. read more

If your neighborhood has the option to use a different trash company, I'd recommend it. They've skipped our trash pickup multiple times, and it feels like they're always looking for a reason not to do the job we're paying them to do. Most recently, they left our full trash can because the lid wasn't completely shut. It was barely cracked open--not overflowing or sticking way up. I understand having rules, but there has to be some common sense involved. When customers are paying for a service, they shouldn't have to worry about their trash being left behind over something so minor. We've had too many missed pickups, and it's frustrating to keep dealing with excuses instead of reliable service. At the end of the day, we're paying for our trash to be collected, and this company has not consistently delivered on that. read more

We set up a new Tiger sanitation account and Tiger put the next doors service in my name after mistakenly shutting down their account. Refused to pick up trash repeatedly. Multiple instances of mistaken failures to perform. We had to call and argue for hours Repeatedly. They came went in our fenced back yard and picked up our cans by mistake shutting down our account that was paid in full and dumped the trash in our front yard. Refused to come and pick up the trash they dumped in my front yard. Mixed up math, very rude and unprofessional. Worst service ever. Paladin Rental Management LLC read more

Tiger Sanitation - Trash dumped in my yard by Tiger. - Recycling Center Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Edward Rodriguez and Mark Carmona did an amazing job. Would highly recommend Tiger Sanitation.

Quality and service is low. Paying customer and they missed trash pick up. Tia from customer service who I had to wait over 45 minutes due to high volume calls on a Tuesday afternoon, told me they wouldn't be out to pick back up and she does not know why they put didn't pick up. She said it was arm service? So poor customer service with no resolution due to their arm service trucks. See photo and the street vehicles are not mine neighbors out of my control. So why didn't they pick up my trash on a paying account service? Tia from customer service doesn't know either. Poor business and service. No values or pride in what they do for work. read more

The men who pick up my trash have been great. Andrew and Eddie always says hi when Im out and is courteous. With all the hustle and bustle in this world today its nice to see hardworking men not only do their job well but take the time to say hi to an old lady like me. read more

They are the most expensive service with horrible customer service. They nickel and dime you to death including when you cancel. 27 dollars a cart to come pick up their property. If you charge the premium price you should have the premium service. They do not. read more

It's good that this company deals in trash because that's exactly what their communication is. The entire neighborhood put out their trash today and it was not picked up due to them changing the service and not being able to inform their customers of the change. This company keeps raising the bar on their level of suck. Unfortunately, my neighborhood HOA members decided to create a deal with them and ran off all competitors. I would happily pay more for service from a competent company. read more

Never is in time, never lets you know if it's a holiday or not, states Thanksgiving and Christmas as official holidays, but continues to take any opportunity to be off! Horrible horrible service read more

I've been waiting all morning for a call back from management regarding a situation with my order, and I still don't have any answers. I ordered a 20-yard roll-off dumpster last Friday (7/25). The order was processed quickly, I signed and paid, and was told it would be delivered today, 7/29. Yesterday I called to confirm, since I had received no confirmation, and was told delivery could be anytime between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. No window at all. This morning around 6 a.m., your driver came out, decided the location in the order notes was "too hard," called but unable to reach us because we were still asleep at 6 am and then left. By the time I returned his call (around 7:00 am) we were awake and ready to give alternate instructions. He called me back at 7:45 am and told me I would need to call customer service because he couldn't come back without dispatch approval. Since 8 a.m., I've been on the phone repeatedly with the customer service team, passing messages back and forth with dispatch. The service rep tried to reach dispatch, then called me back saying there was a conflict between the driver's story and what I explained and the message from dispatch seemed real hostile and it seemed like they wouldn't be attempting any re-delivery today. The rep said she would get management involved and send them a message and she would call me back. It's now 11:00 am, and I still have no response or confirmation of whether this dumpster will be delivered today. We have a large, wide driveway with ample space for drop-off, and I honestly don't understand why the driver couldn't just complete the delivery. We specifically chose Tiger because the business is close to our home (5 minute drive down 87). At this point, the lack of clear communication between the driver, dispatch, customer service and management has been extremely frustrating. We have a construction/moving project underway today, and losing an entire day because no one can give us an answer is unacceptable. read more

They fly by in the mornings, I was walking out with the trash can so it wouldn't sit over night and they flew by at 730AM. I try to call and see if they could pass by again since they were just down the street. But it was after hours. I do not recommend. We're stuck with them for the neighborhood we live in. read more

A couple years ago they transitioned to only taking recycling once every two weeks. But my bin fills up way faster than that and they won't take anything that doesn't fit in the bin, even if it's in a nicely packed box. read more

they didn't pick up all my plastic bottles & left it on the side by the trash can. i called to ask about it & the lady that answer was so rude and super hateful she said at least they put it by the trash can. no explanation on it. she acted like she couldn't be bothered. very rude people and lazy people who work for them because they don"t care about it just your money is what they want i will be looking for a new trash service. we previously had md systerm and they were wonderful and always had great customer service where tiger does not have. md system always picked up trash and would take the trash without any problem they were professionalto bad they sold the business because they were great and had great customer service in the office very nice people read more

I requested service from these guys 2 weeks ago. Paid 90 $ . 2 weeks later I still haven't received my can so I called them . After putting me on, hold to figure out what happened a man came back on and said apparently i Had service with them 8 years ago and I owed them money. That may have been the case but I would have expected someone to say that when I signed up. Not two weeks and 90 dollars later. Talk about shady business. I asked what I owed. The man said he could give me collections phone number. Ridiculous. Obviously I didn't owe more than a quarterly billing cycle. And i'm sure eight years ago, it was much cheaper than it is now. If this isn't a theft of service, I don't know what is. read more

I am so frustrated that they will not recycle any glass containers. Very upsetting, as I will not throw them in the trash and there's no where to recycle them nearby. Horrible! read more

This is either a poorly ran company, or they hire folks that really don't care about being a quality representation of their company. They miss our recycling but pick up the trash. I just don't get it with this company. Absolutely horrible, make sure you vote against them for your HOA! read more

Always helpful and good workers. Can always back where started and cordial if you catch employees. Upfront about bulk removal and in 13 years have been helpful in addressing any issues. Update: I spoke too soon they didn't pick up trash today, ridiculous read more

Most of my neighborhood uses this company, but I learned from multiple times happen to call them that they kept missing my house for one reason or another and sometimes they didn't have a reason. So I chose a different trash company and I've had no issues since. Tiger needs to step it up. The other complaint I had was that they no longer did the weekly recycle instead they wanted to do it every other week, but they did not lower your cost. I would probably reconsider possibly if they would get their service to be better and brought back the recycling every week. read more

I am writing this review after terminating service with Tiger Waste Management due to a consistently negative experience, ranging from poor communication to aggressive billing practices. 1. Aggressive and Misleading Billing Practices My issues stem from a historical balance related to a previous account held by my fiancé five years ago. * My fiancé ended her service and the bins were collected shortly after. We assumed the account was settled. * Five years later, after I started a new service under my name and phone number at our new home, I fell behind on a single payment. * I was notified only via an email sent to an unmonitored inbox. Without a phone call or text--which are industry standards for service cancellation--my bins were cancelled and collected. * When I called to restart, I was informed that I owed a collection fee and an account reinstatement fee for the new quarter. I refused this charge. * The Shocking Discovery: It was only when my fiancé called to attempt to start her own new service that Tiger informed her of a five-year-old past due balance on her original, long-cancelled account. This balance consisted of a $50 bin cleaning and pickup fee ($25 per bin) that was never communicated via phone, email, or text in the last half-decade. * Today, after receiving a random invoice and inquiring about it, I was threatened with being sent to collections over this $50 fee, which should clearly be a standard cost of doing business, not a penalty used to harass previous customers. 2. Retaliatory and Arrogant Management The lack of professionalism was solidified when a manager called my fiancé regarding her previous account. * The manager, without provocation or request, condescendingly asked my fiancé, "Do you know how to cancel service?" * This statement was both uncalled for and arrogant, demonstrating a management culture that uses intimidation and rudeness rather than service recovery. 3. Poor and Unsafe Field Service The service quality itself was unreliable and concerning: * Collection was spotty, even when our bins were left out properly. * During a collection, a truck spilled smelly hydraulic fluid all over our street. The driver attempted to clean it up by dumping what appeared to be cat litter on the pavement and then simply drove off, leaving the contaminated material to pollute the roads and storm drains. Our neighbors, not Tiger, had to dispose of the toxic mess. 4. Misleading Pricing and Service Claims * Tiger allegedly raised prices, citing a switch to new hydraulic-arm trucks that would eliminate the need for crew members hanging off the back. * This appeared to be a lie. We saw the new trucks only once or twice, and I frequently see Tiger crews in our neighborhood and surrounding areas operating the old way, with people walking alongside and hanging off the trucks. The Solution: Switched to a Superior Provider We have happily switched to a new provider who offers: * Weekly collection for both trash and recycling (Tiger only collected recycling every other week and does not accept glass). * A price that is approximately $30 less per quarter. * Excellent Customer Service: They use simple text messages to communicate any service or schedule changes immediately. * No Cancellation Fees or Bin Pickup Fees should we choose to end service. Do yourself a favor and choose a company that values its customers and practices fair billing. I strongly advise avoiding Tiger Waste Management. read more

Subject: Missed Trash Pickup & Lack of Response - Urgent Request for Resolution Dear Tiger Sanitation, I'm writing to express my frustration regarding ongoing issues with your customer service and a missed trash pickup. This morning, your truck picked up my garbage, but did not collect all of the trash. I have now called three times to resolve this issue. On my last attempt, I did speak to a representative who acknowledged a note on my account -- but then left me on hold for 25 minutes, after which I had to hang up. At this point, I would greatly appreciate a timely and direct resolution to this problem. I am a paying customer and expect reliable service and responsive communication. Please arrange for the remaining trash to be picked up as soon as possible, and kindly confirm that it has been scheduled. Tiger Sanitation, LLC 6325 US Hwy 87 E San Antonio, TX 78222 (210) 333-4287 read more

inconsistent , inconsiderate, horrible customer service ! worst sanitation company ever !

Pretty sad to see this is not a concern of theirs. Pathetic rating and even more pathetic customer service. Can't answer calls, don't call back on their own call request prompts they push on you. Then your pathetic employees bust a bag AND KICK THE TRASH TO THE CURB, LEAVING IT THERE!!!!! I'll be leaving bad reviews EVERYWHERE and filing complaints with my HOA and the BBB. read more

Tiger Sanitation - Recycling Center Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I have been a customer for over two years and was a pretty happy camper for 65% of that time. Reduced services for recycling (every other week), disallowing additional bags for leafs and stuff (2 bags per pick-up day was the original service), then stating if the lid is raised in any manner the trash would not be collected was frustrating but I hung in there. Granted the prices did not drop with the reduced services, but remained the same based on inflation (explanation by business and employee health from picking up bags and injuries) The thing that has really pushed me to the brink is the truck driving by and simply not picking up the garbage due to driver/crew error. This requires me to call Tiger, wait 20 mins for a callback because the lines are so busy, explain that yet again my trash was not picked up, then schedule a special pick-up. Hassle and really poor client experience and service. Myriad of excuses but none have not been associated with me not following the rules. It is a hassle to change providers as many know but I think that I have reached my tipping point. I would happily pay more for solid and consistent service. Crossing my fingers they come back after my call to Tiger but it could not be guaranteed. I see myself rolling my can to the back yard and calling the day after Thanksgiving to try to solve this again. Shouldn't be this hard. read more

They are horrible.We keep on paying and they pass by us almost every time.We have called and made complaints.The manager said he would make sure the come back by the last time this happened.We kept the trash out and they never came by.They don't deserve not even 1 star.They lie on here and say they will help but they don't.They are fake when they say they are sorry and want to help. read more

I paid $60 for a pick up service for an old mattress and was promised they would PU by 6 pm. They did not come and then refused to refund me. After talking to a manager, they offered to reimburse me 50% of the cost and proceeded to tell me that they would PU for bulk PU...this isn't a solution because bulk is scheduled in a few months and already part of our service agreement. Now, i am expecting a citation from my HOA, because the mattress was flagged. It should be simple, service paid for service rendered, but apparently that is not their policy. read more

Worst trash company I have ever had !!!!!!! Missed pick ups and VERY bad customer service !!!!!!

really unhappy with your residential service. came home this morning and a box that was IN THE CONTAINER and BROKEN DOWN was laying in my driveway after the truck came by for service. How lazy can these guys be? I had a box left a couple of weeks ago that contained numerous broken down boxes. I was told that Tiger is a "container only" service. Fine, so i broke down boxes and have been slowly putting them into my container. Come home today and i have trash in my driveway. totally unacceptable. I do not recommend their service for any subdivisions that are contemplating them for service. read more

On July 4th, in the middle of the heavy rain, my Tiger Sanitation workers stopped their truck and pulled my trash bin to the truck to empty it. Amazing! This is customer service at its finest. I really appreciate their kindness and dedication. Tiger....you're the best! read more

They have missed service and now have cut the service while increasing cost. Lid must be closed , cans must be 3 feet apart . No additional bags where it had been 3 when I chose them. Poor service over all. read more

Tiger Sanitation does not keep their promises. I had to cut back trees that were over top, near and touching my roof to also include overall tree pruning so I could get Farmers Insurance to cover my 16 year old roof that needs replaced. I called Tiger last Tuesday for information and they said how to bundle the brush and then to call them and pay them with a credit card to pick up the bundles. I called them back last Friday and paid $50 dollars for them to pick up on Monday, Aug 4th. They promised to pick up the brush on Monday. They did not arrive by 3:30 PM so I called their offices. Tiger Rep said they just forgot to pick it up because they have to send out a special truck. Then at 5:30 PM a Tiger truck arrived and sat outside my house. Three guys were in a truck and they sat in the front seat of the truck for at least 5 minutes. I waited for them to get out of the truck and get the brush but they did not - they just drove off without picking up my $50 -pre-paid brush. I told Michelle at the HOA about this and the HOA said Tiger is like that and she gave me permission to leave the brush on the sidewalk in front of my house through this Thursday. I had already gotten permission from Michelle to have brush on my property and side walk since last Thursday. So I want to make sure neighbors know I have called Tiger a total of 4 times and called the HOA 4 times during this whole tree trimming project. I will never rely on Tiger again. It is Thursday, Aug 7th - Tiger promised to pick up my branches today no later than 7 pm today. It is 7:15 pm and my branches are still on the curb. I called them everyday this week to make sure they were coming today. I even called today around 2 pm to let them know the branches were still there - they said they would pick up by 7 PM today. At this point, I do not know what to do as I don't have a truck to take the branches to a recycle center. I also already paid Tiger $50 dollars. They are the worst. I will have to call Michelle again at the HOA about Tiger. Try to be a responsible homeowner and remove branches so I can get a new roof and this happens. I am growing tired of businesses lying to me. read more

Tiger sanitation used to be great. I had had their service for nine years and the first eight years. I have no complaints. Not really sure what happened in the last year, but they went way downhill. They stopped allowing extra bags and wouldn't pick up if the lid was even an inch open and they started raising their prices, but that's not why I gave it one star. The reason for one star is because I sold my house and was moving out of the area to an area where they do not service so I needed to cancel my account. They told me that they charge $25 plus tax to pick up my can that I've had there for nine years. I asked why and the lady told me that that is their service fee for picking up a can that is their property in the first place. I told her I do not agree to pay the $25 and asked if the phone call was being recorded and that I absolutely deny being charged even one penny for them to pick up their own property. That is a part of doing business when you have a service and you lend out a product and you charge a service before the product every month you do not charge to pick up your product at the end of the time. I argued with them back-and-forth for quite a while and again checked that the recording was recording my denial of payment for the pick up of the can and they said yes. Two days later I get a charge on my credit card for over $27 from Tiger sanitation I have been unable to reach them in order to get my money back. Who win the right mind charges the customer for their own operating expenses. That is part of the service And shame on them. Greedy business with no ethics. I made sure the new owner will never use Tiger and I told my entire community about this horrible practice of theirs read more

This trash service sucks. Multiple times they missed our trash but picked up others on our street. When I called to request a pickup, it wasn't until 3 days later. To top it off, they drove their truck through my front yard instead of turning around and got stuck, leaving 2 feet deep indentions and mud everywhere. LAZY PEOPLE read more
