I have complained to this company so many times before (I have another complaint on BBB from months ago). They did well for maybe 2 months and then I had to text the manager ******* on 11/21 that our recycle bin was not picked up again. I believe they came and got it the next day. Now, it's the week of Christmas, when most if not everyone has overflowing bins, especially the recycling bins because of boxes that presents were in...and they don't pick up the bin. They also came a day later due to the holiday which makes it now the weekend when they are not working. I texted the manager today at 4:18pm, almost 2 hours before they close, letting her know that our recycling wasn't picked up in my neighborhood and heard nothing. Now we all have overflowing bins on the street and, here in San Jacinto, it gets real windy and if my bin falls over...it's going to be everywhere. I want them to do their job, not raise the rate and then still not do their job! I want my bin picked up and a refund...and not 2 dollars and some chump change like last time.Business Response

For the year 2023, C R &R has skipped /failed to pick up my garbage/trash several times. On 18 December 2023, they failed to pick up the garbage/trash , recycling again. I called their customer service at around 4 pm and I was assured that they'll come back and pick up my garbageand that the Operations Manager was notified. However, no one showed up . So I emailed the customer service about the failed skipped pick up as their office closes at 5PM. The following day, 19December2023, I called the customer service line again and I was assured that they'll pick it up as their driver is until 6 pm. I also emailed the customer service and was reassured that they will pick it up and that they'll service it and that their driv er's route is until 6PM. Again, No one showed up to service pick up my garbage/trash. This is very unsatisfactory and poor company practice and response. Their several reassurances are deceptive and showed no company commitment to perform their paid and required service. Their recurring failures to deliver the service they are paid to do showed their abysmal business practice.Business Response

The trash bin was out on Sunday Night and the pick up was Monday morning The response is inaccurate as saying it wasn't out on time. I personally put the trash bin myself and the business assumption is plain inaccurate. This is not only the 1st time this happened.I decided to call CR&R customer service as this is the 4th time this happened . The bottomline is that the trash bin was skipped and although they rectified after several calls to customer service.Business Response

I pay $57.24 a month to have my garbage picked up once a week on Friday. Regularly it is not picked up. Last Friday they did not pick up, I didn't say anything because I was out of town. When I returned, I noticed my can was still full. This week on Friday, they again did not pick up the trash. When I called CR&R, she texted the driver and her told her that the can was "too heavy". It is only filled with household trash, by this point two weeks' worth. The customer service lady assured me that the driver would be back to pick up the can, this was at 10:15am. I checked back at 3:30pm, and the driver had not come back, I called CR&R and she could not get hold of the driver. She told me she would call her manager and get back to me. I did not hear back. I called again at 4:25, before they closed and no one answered the phone. I now have paid for service, have a huge amount of unsanitary trash piling up, and have wasted a day dealing with this. This happens often, this is just the first time I'm filing a complaint. I have paid for so much service that I have not been receiving.Business Response

CR&R will utilize a different truck to provide service to the 3 yard trash bin, which will reduce the likelihood of an overweight container. Additionally, CR&R will issue a credit of $13.21 for two weeks of no service (11/10/23 and 11/17/23), and the credit will reflect on the customer's next billing statement.

11/10/23: Called ************** to schedule large item pick up. Spoke with representative ********* (she declined to give last name). Requested that a larger item pick up be scheduled. She shared that this would require 1-3 month wait. Shared that this seemed unreasonably long as this was a service that we pay more monthly. Requested that we speak to manager.

CC& R is a trash company I have used since 2006. A few years ago the truck hit my custom bricks and repaired them . Yet this year the driver hit my bricks at corner when picking up neighbors trash . After over 3 calls to company. and no response from supervisor as promised. They have ignored my request and raised my bill. They have records of this complaint and damage to my property and refuse to respond or correct this matter. This company also was involved in a massive fire that burned down homes in ******** and lives were lost. I believe they are hiring unsafe employees driving trash trucks and avoid damages they cause. They have raised prices and refuse to correct their damageInitial Complaint
