      Complaint Type:

      Status:
      Answered
      The company recycle truck hit the back end of my vehicle puncturing a hole in my trunk lid and scratching and gauging my rear bumper on December 28, 2023. I called the same day and they responded saying that I needed to get a few estimates so they can contact their insurance provider on compensating me for the repairs. I got the estimates and emailed them to *********************** (the person the told me to email and call). I never got a response from him so I called the company. After calling them 5 times and getting nowhere, I finally got an answer from ****** a customer service representative who went to her supervisor while on the phone with me and was told there was a new leader of that department and that the new leader would call me about the issues the following week. He never contacted me and it's April 3, 2024. I have the estimates and they owe me $2,822.97 for the damages to my vehicle.

      They dropped off 4 bins at my house and I use 2. . When I called and asked them not to bill me twice, I was assured I would only get one bill. I received 2 bills today. $176 to pick up my trash with no other options. They told me to leave the extra 2 cans out for the neighbors. They are still in my driveway. And no way to contact them by phone or email. The website states to call.
