    I recently cancelled my trash service with Mountain High due to ongoing issues. When I called to cancel, I was instructed to leave the companys bins out with the regular trash on Tuesday for final pickup. I followed their instructions exactly, yet the bins were not collected and are still sitting at my *********** make matters worse, there was a rainstorm last night, and one of the uncollected bins floated down the street and wedged between the curb and my neighbors brand new car. Thankfully, no damage occurred, but this could have easily led to a much more serious situation. I have since moved all of the bins up to my driveway to prevent further problems, but I should not be responsible for safeguarding company property after cancellation.Additionally, the company picked up and emptied a separate, empty bin that I had intentionally set apart from the full ones scheduled for pickup. I want to make it clear that I do not expect to be charged for this unnecessary and unauthorized service.I am requesting that Mountain High take immediate action to retrieve their trash bins and confirm that no charges will be made for the recent pickup. This experience has been frustrating, unprofessional, and completely avoidable with proper communication and follow-through.

    We attempted to call all customers to let them know. That the route got delayed. If they did not answer we left them a voicemail if we were able to. There will be NO additional charge. Sorry for the inconvenience. The bin's have since been removed.

    Door salesman signed me up for service on June 18 a check for $48.00 that was not to be cashed until first garbage pickup on August 6. I decided I did not want to switch from my present garbage company- so I called to cancel service and asked them to return my check. They cashed my check anyway and refused to give me a refund. I have called multiple times requesting a refund as I have never used their company. They continue to refuse to give my $48.00 back

    My quarterly bill has increased this quarter and did not receive any communication as to why. I called their office on 3 different occasions and they did not answer. I also sent 2 separate emails and have not received a response. The increase in not extreme but not informing me as to why and then ignoring my questions is unacceptable and poor customer service

    Business Response

    Date: 05/29/2025

    I checked our records and have attached two pictures that show ******* has not tried to call in the month of May 2025. Also a search of our email that shows he has not emailed us since September of last year.

    We do apologize about not notifying ******* about the increase and would gladly speak with him about it.

    No emails since September.

    This is the amount we increased his account.
    Increase was $3/month, $1 for 95g trash and charge for $2 was added for personal bin. His quarterly went from $90 to $99.

    Had a sales man come to the door and explain about how much larger their trash receptacles we and how much I can save by not using waste management and I bought into his empty promises. Not only were the receptacles smaller but they skipped me 2 weeks in a row. After calling to cancel service it was explained to me that's on Tuesday. The eleventh, which is today, the receptacle would be picked up and I would be issued a refund. However instead of following through I was charged again and the receptacles still there. I spoke with their customer service and the best. He said they could do was pick up the receptacle again next week. I asked for a confirmation number for something in filing that I can reference. And he was unable to provide me with that. I would like a full refund for the lack of service. And I would like this receptacle to be taken away immediately as I don't have place for it. Because I have have room for one trash companies receptacles I was charged $16 again today totalling $48 with yet 1 pick up about a month ago provided.

    Business Response

    Date: 02/12/2025

    We have already discussed with the customer a full refund and have scheduled to have the bin removed. We are in the process of calling the customer again to see if there were further issues we need to resolve.

    I have been paying my trash bill with no issues for many years. *** recently partnered with, or took over Bunting trash service. Bunting billed monthly. *** demanded four months of payment all at once. My budget does not allow for an extra charge. In addition, all of my neighbors have the new MHD trash cans. I am the only one in my neighborhood to still have the old Bunting can. Yesterday I received a phone call saying my service was suspended.

    Business Response

    Date: 11/07/2024

    Mountain High Disposal took over Bunting Disposal on July 1, 2024. Notifications were mailed out to customers about the changes in our billing matters in August. Mountain High Disposal bills out on a quarterly basis of every 3 months. We started billing the Bunting customers in September for the months of September, October and November. We had several customers call in to make arragements so they could get on board with the quarterly billing, I do not show any calls from this customer where we could have worked something out with him. Our policy is quarterly billing through Mountain High Disposal but I have left a message for the customer to call in so we can discuss possible monthly billing.

    Salesman approached my door June 28th, asked if I wanted to sign up for a new trash service. Told salesman I was uninterested and happy with ***************** Mid-July, two Mountain High branded trash cans are dropped on my property. Zero communication, zero consent. After calling until August 17th for them to pick these cans up, they finally send someone out and send a bill for picking up the cans. I will not be paying this predatory business a dime.

    This is a horrible trash company that is supposed to pick up my house trash once a week, and this company has 2 weeks with out picking up our trash. I have been calling them for days, but they never answer their phones!!I never signed up with them, and I got with this nasty company when Xtreme disposal was sold to bounty disposal, then bounty was sold to Mountain high. I was a client of Xtreme disposal, but thanks to this company acquisitions, some how I ended up on the hands of the worst company ever!!This company is so gross and negligent that they should have their operation license revoked by the county!!It is unacceptable that a company dont even answers the phone!!It is unacceptable that this company it's not even picking up the trash when they were supposed to!!I am very mad and frustrated cause I have two weeks of trash, and my trash service is no where to be found!!

    I am rejecting this response because:

    When a company takes two weeks to pick up the phone, and when you ask them why they don't pick up the phone, and they cut you off ordering you not to speak them on that tone, that's when based on this company incompetent actions, I demand them to conduct them selves in a more professional way!!

    Two weeks with out trash service, and when the truck finally arrived, they didn't even picked up saying I havent paid my bill!!

    This company is full of super negative complaints from all over the place! I am not the only one who is mad and frustrated!!

    On ******* on ********* and here, their company is flooded with negative reviews!!

    Finally, the very last time I called, after many, many tries, almost 45 minutes calling, they finally answered, and I was so happy to hear they have cancelled my account cause I will never do business with this clown company again!!

    I told them that their license from the city should be cancelled until they improve their customer service, and they Lough and said that despite their lousy service, that will never happen!!

    There are no excuses, and I am yet impressed that they are blaming me for not picking up their trash in two weeks, and they never answer the phone and don't reply to emails!!

    Instead of blaming the customer, they owe me and all their unhappy customers and ex customers and apology for a super horrible service!!

    You, the BBB, need to give an F to this company!!

    What they are doing is unacceptable!!

    If the county don't cancel their license to operate, at least I hope that every body on ******* on social media, and here; they will know how horrible is this company.

    Not answering the phone for weeks, that's unacceptable!!

    Not replying to emails for weeks is completely unacceptable!!

    And not picking up the trash of a paying customer tow weeks is a gross act of neglect!!!

    Yes I was mad! Yes I had to express my anger! And yes, I am here still telling everyone no to do business with them cause they will go through the same horrible experience I went with them!!!

    I can't believe that who ever that owns this horrible company, he still is trying to defend their incompetent actions!!

    Instead of blaming the customer, they should restructure their horrible company, and they should humbly give all their people like me a very well deseved apology!!!

    And, I am glad that I will never do business with them!! Ever!!!

    This company is not polite, neither professional!! They never answer their phones, emails, or any other way or form to communicate with them!

    They should apologize instead for trying to blame the customer for their actions and their grossly horrible mistakes!

    Thanks to their incompetence, they where not picking up my trash cause their were thinking I haven't paid my bill, but my bill was fully paid on time, yet they had me on their accounting as i non paying customer!!!

    So, there are no excuses! They made a big mistake with my account, and what can you expect from a paying customer when no ones picks up his trash in two weeks, and no one answers the phone, or no one replies to his emails!!! There are no excuses! Any receptionist can charge any real business around $150 dollars per day to answer their phones and avoid this horrible conflicts!! But because they are too cheap, they rather prefer to hire Call centers who just never pick up the phone!!

    Well, I am here, trying to explain this company that what I need to hear from them is a humble apology and that some day they will understand that there is no excuse when a "Supposedly" professional company just never bothers to answer their customers questions, or complaints when the trash is piling up, and no ones picks it up even when you already paid for the service!!

    There are no excuses!! And no, they cant blame me! Cause the lady who answered the phone, she was the one who had a very nasty attitude! I had to wait for weeks to get some one to finally answered, just to be treated like the garbage they pick up! like if I was the one at fault when my only sin ever was to be some how transferred to this horrible company!!  the only thing that I wanted from them, it was to come and pick up my trash!!! when they finally came, their truck driver said, that I haven't paid my bill when my bill was fully paid in advance!!! So, No!! There are no excuses!! When they acquired Bounty Disposal, they didn't bother to take the time to call their new customers and ask if everything was fine!!!

    But thanks god, my service with this horrible company has been cancelled, but I just want the BBB to be aware of their practices, so you guys can evaluate if this people deserves any BBB ratings at all cause with me they have an "F" !!

    A company that wont answers their customer calls or emails, they shouldn't even be in the fragile business of picking people's trash!!!

    That's all i have to say!!

    I hope they learn from this ******* and instead of being so blindly arrogant, i hope that they understand that they were the ones at fault!! Not me!! I just responded based on the endless frustration from a company who's customer service is flooded with endless bad reviews from people like me for not getting any response from them when you dont have any place to put your trash, and they are no where to be found!!

    I was starting to think that I was scammed or some thing cause no one answered their phones or emails for weeks!

    I don't know about you BBB, but a company like this, they shouldn't not even be allowed to operate unless they turn things around, and unless they transform their company in one with a better understanding of what it means for some one to be in business where the customer can not be neglected to much and so BAD!!

    That's all i have to say!! Thanks!!

    Mountain high took my damaged can in February and never brought a new one, and continue to harass me with invoices. These are charges for services they never provided me. There was literally no can to put my trash in. Be careful not to fall for the low price. You get what you pay for in this case. We have been able to resume trash service with a known and reliable service and are being taken care of again.

    The can was taken because Mountain High flipped it open or closed too hard when it was frozen. That was mid February i suppose.  I called and asked for a replacement and made a partial payment until I got a replacement can.  Which never happened, nor did I ever receive any notice that my service was suspended.  I *********** not pay for services not provided.

    I agree with the amount owed.  But their explanation is erroneous.  I would rather they tell the truth and be transparent.
