  In accordance to BBB policy, CR&R is responding to this complaint:

  CR&R offers the service for a driver to return and empty a customer's container as remediation for missed or incomplete service. Customers are encouraged to contact CR&R with this information to ensure these requests are properly received and submitted to the driver for completion. If instead the customer requests a credit and it is approved upon review, CR&R will only credit the service component fee, which is 50% of the cost per pickup. The other 50% is not creditable as those fees are mandatory to cover the cost of transportation, labor, landfill expenses, and other miscellaneous fees. Additionally, the CR&R driver will typically return on the next service day to empty the container as scheduled, which effectively removes any waste from the prior week. This customer was issued a service component credit for missed service on 6/21/23. CR&R thanks this customer for their patronage and understanding.

  I placed an order for a 40 Yd container to be delivered on Monday 8/28 then I requested and exhange on 8/30 and final removal on 9/1.On 8/30 driver did not remove container at our regular business hour. Next day 8/31 I noticed that the container still here and it was no removed. I contact customer service and at first they were not able to tell me what happen. Finally I was told that the driver decided not to remove it because he did not think it was full enough. I requested a manager call and still waiting. I sent and email and got an answer that someone will be contacting me, result I am still waiting. I am allowed 6 Tn for free and the other 2 tn at an upcharge. First I do not understand why the driver decide by himself or contact us to remove the container.Now I get the new bill and ****** is charging me $111.61 Roll of return trip charge because of the driver deciding not to remove it. I contact them by phone on 9/8 at 7:30 AM and I was told that a manager will get back to me., now the day got by and how strange I am still waiting.

  CR&R has a history of inferior service. We pay for 3 days per week garbage pick-up and so far it's been 5 days since our last service. Monday was a holiday and the schedule pushes it back to Tuesday, but they did not service us on Tuesday. I called and was told they had until 6 PM to pick-up, but they never did. On Wednesday I called FOUR (4) times and was told they would pick up our trash by 5 PM, but they never came. This is not the 1st time for this as the same thing happened after the 4th of July this year. All the driver needs to do is enter that the account was serviced, and they assume it was. The garbage stinks, causes pestilence, attracts vermin, and wild animals, and is unsightly. I believe they are not only violating our civil rights, but are criminally negligent for leaving over 500 people in squalor and filth.This is unacceptable!!!

  Continued and chronic no pick up of trash from my address and neighbors in my vicinity. Many, many complaints have been made and elevated to management with no resolution. Empty promises made as well as excuses again with no resolution yet continued increases in service charges. Trash bins become full and nowhere for us to put our trash and therefore becoming a health hazard. Something needs to be done with this company. Fines should be assessed for chronic occurrences of no pick up. Please review historical consumer reviews on CR&R. They refuse to correct consumer complaint issues.

  In accordance to BBB policy, CR&R is responding to this complaint:

  The most recently scheduled service for this customer was Friday 8/25/23. Due to challenging and inclement weather the weekend prior, CR&R experienced service delays for many routes in the Oak Hills/********** area. The local ********************* confirmed this customer was serviced on Saturday 8/26/23. CR&R is in receipt of the customer's concerns and has forwarded this matter to the Operations manager for review. Drivers have been instructed to monitor this account closely and will report back any issues encountered during service. CR&R thanks this customer for their patience and understanding.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 08/31/2023

  This has been an ongoing issue with CR&R for several years. The inclement weather was the weekend prior. Why does this company not send communication via text or phone message to advise their customers who are being affected? Why has this issue been going on for years? It is not just this one incident. Has anyone from CR&R looked at their customer reviews of the ongoing issues? Stop raising rates until you can provide quality service. I do not accept their response and won't until the mis-management stops and quality services begins and is maintained.

  Business Response

  Date: 09/01/2023

  In accordance to BBB policy, CR&R is responding to this complaint:

  Upon review with the Operations manager and three different drivers, it has been reported that the customer's carts are often not placed out for service when the driver arrives. CR&R drivers are in this area on Fridays between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. If carts are not accessible between the scheduled service hours, service cannot be provided. CR&R would like to restate that this customer is being monitored closely, and drivers have been instructed to confirm service each week and report back any issues encountered during service. CR&R thanks this customer for their understanding.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 09/12/2023

  I cannot believe now this company responds by saying my carts are not placed at the curb. This speaks to the integrity and honor of the management/individual who is addressing this complaint. Every call I have made to this company over the course of these past few years of poor service are in fact after my cans have been out since 5:30 a.m. which is the time I leave for work. There was one occurrence during the last two years that my bins were not placed at the curb because we were on vacation and hence no call of complaint was made. If your drivers are reporting that my cans are not at the curb it is for the sole reason to justify them in not picking them up. So falsifying information is your next tactic. This is is an issue with this company and is reflective in the customer complaints that run rampid in reviews left by their long standing customers. It's quite interesting that after being a customer for 27 years all of a sudden I don't put my cans out?? Yet the reviews on this company and long list of customer complaints for this same issue began over these past few years and have multiplied at a rapid pace. So this is now your response and you will put the blame on the customer. Professionalism at its best. Yes you continue to "monitor" the situation as will I.

  Since July 24, 2023, three weeks ago. I had two trashcan. One of my trashcan fell in the dump truck. I called CR&R and explained to them I had two trashcans and now have one. Plus, the one I have, has a whole in it. Operator told me they'll take the damage one and give me two trashcans. Today it's August 7, 2023. I've been calling CR&R for the passed three weeks and this company keeps giving me the runaround. Keep telling you've been rescheduled. On the day I'm rescheduled they don't deliver. Keep telling me the same thing. Trashcan will be delivered before 6 o'clock. I'm very disappointed in the company. I've tried to be patient but I have to make this complaint.

Called 7/19/2023 and was told there was a problem with the work order, then came back on phone and said No, work order was for 7/27/2023.Waited for item removal on 7/27/2023. Called at 3:30pm and guaranteed they were still coming. No trash removal.Called on 7/28/2023 and was told the truck broke down. Rescheduled for 7/31/2023. Refrigerator sat out on curb (against HOA rules). Called at 3pm as was suggested by their customer service. Assured me they would pick up. Called at 4:45pm to speak to supervisor. ******** assured me that the trucks worked until 6pm and our refrigerator would be picked up. She also said this was a free service. Well, its actually part of the services I pay taxes for. She was very rude and never apologetic. She agreed to go and listen to the original call on 7/18/2023 but said that I had no way to hear original call.7pm on 7/31/2023 and the refrigerator is still on the curb. Has not been picked up after waiting two and a half weeks.I am forced to use this company by the city I live in for trash removal.
