      I paid this company $280 in advance for 6 months of garbage removal using their provided garbage tote and recyclable tote. The service day is supposed to be Wednesdays. As of yesterday, Wednesday 2/12/25, my garbage has been sitting on the curb for 3 weeks and is now overflowing! I’ve called the company and spoke with a very rude woman named Sharon several times over the last week after not being serviced the first two weeks and she assured me someone would pick my trash up over the weekend or Monday the latest. Here it is Thursday 2/13/25 and my trash is still sitting on the curb overflowing!! They accused me of not having the trash on the curb so I emailed Sharon a picture (attached). Initially she refused to even let me speak with anyone else when I asked for a manager or supervisor. Finally she put me on with an office manager after she claimed there was no manager or supervisor to speak with! I need them to take the trash from my curb- I paid them in advance to do so!! And at this point I’d like to cancel service and request a refund before dealing with this unprofessionalism any longer!!!
