  I have been very patient with Kimble's refuse, and this is not the first time I have made a complaint.
  They have been short handed and they usually send out an email if they are going to be late. Which is fine. I get it....But when they don't come two weeks in a row???
  
  I called last Tuesday, not too happy I might add, and they ASSURED me they would pick up the trash on Saturday. Saturday comes and I hear the trash truck come up the hill. Some of my neighbors have them for trash pick up too. I go outside, and they passed my house, they are at the neighbor below me I try to flag the guy down and he takes off.
  
  My trash can is so close to the road that the trash guy HAS to see the can with all the bulging white trash bags protruding out of the can! ? !
  
  I am just so fed up with the incompetence! Either finish the job, or give me my money back!

  Our trash was supposed to be picked up Wednesday. I called Wednesday and they apologized and said that they will pick up Thursday. Thursday comes they didn't pick up.
  I called again. They said they would pick up Friday. Friday comes and they haven't picked up. I would like someone to pick up my trash ASAP. And a credit to my account if not picked up this week. Thank you.

  This company is running a racket. It's a trash pick up service that works with the city. They took my trash can, and make you pay for a replacement. Should be as simple as eating the cost, but no. Once you pay, they deliver a new can but take the neighbors can instead of dropping off one can that they originally took. Now I'm left without a can, they are advising me to steal the neighbors can, and won't give me a refund for the money I spent for a replacement can THAT THEY CONVENIENTLY LOST!

  Prior to November 12th, Kimble was not in the area removing or delivering carts that Kimble would have removed as customer is reporting.  The trash truck would not have the ability to take the cart on their truck during servicing.  Our container team was at this residence and delivered the replacement tote.  We have attached the pictures of the containers being delivered that was taken by the driver.  The customer is assigned carts and the carts that are for this residence are in the picture.  Also, this is a duplex so if there is not another set of carts that the other resident is using carts, that is a different situation. If you have any further questions, please contact Kimble Customer Service at ************* **** *****

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
  
  
  
  The part Kimble is leaving out is they are delivering a new trash tote, but "STEALING" the neighbors trash tote. Originally there were two totes at the house. With serial numbers ending in "**" and another with "**". The one ending in "**" was the one I reported missing to Kimble and I placed an order to replace that tote for $100. Current day, November 18,2024, there is one tote on the side of the house ending in "**". Late September the neighbors trash can ended in "**". Again, Kimble is delivering a new green trash tote, as we can see by the pictures they attached, but they are also TAKING THE OLD TOTE THAT BELONGS TO THE NEIGHBORS. That doesn't solve the problem! I never asked for them to replace the neighbors tote because their trash can was still here. I asked TO BRING A TOTE FOR MY UNIT BECAUSE I NO LONGER HAVE A TOTE. 

  Small back story just to further add to Kimble being a poorly ran company. I originally called in late September about my missing can. I was told it would take "a few weeks to get a new can delivered". I called back on OCTOBER 4, 2024 and to my surprise was told that they DELIEVERED MY REPLACEMENT CAN ON OCTOBER 2ND. I was looking around the entire neighborhood, just as I did with my previously displaced tote, to no avail. I called Kimble and told them I still didn't receive a can. They put in another order for another delivery. This exact same situation happened again in late October. The house still only has one trash tote when we need two.

  Again, we have delivered another cart on Tuesday November 19th.  A sales team member delivered the cart and took pictures of the carts that are in the driveway. No further carts are needed for this address.  I have attached the pictures of the carts that are there.  We are not taking these carts from other locations.  These carts are coming from our facility to be delivered.  Our sales team member is reaching out via phone.  Thank you

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me.  I will wait until for the business to perform this action and, if it does, will consider this complaint resolved. 

  Got in touch with someone with some knowledge. Brett personally delivered us a trash tote, without taking the neighbors tote. Issue has finally been resolved.

  After reviewing the account, we do see services were delayed but services were provided.  Unfortunately, Kimble does not offer credits for route delays only if services were not provided.  You service was confirmed completed on November 11th.  We are working continuously to hire and train drivers so that routes are not delayed.  This does take time to assure safety for the community as well as the driver.  If you have any further questions, please reach out to Kimble Customer Service at ************* **** ****.  We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding during the last 2 weeks of service delays.

  The services were more than DELAYED.  The scheduled pick-up, as set by Kimble Co., was Thursday's each week excluding holidays. 

  There was no pick-up on Thursday.  No pick-up on Friday. No pick-up on Saturday. No pick-up on Sunday.  That is more than DELAYED.

  Services were not provided for that week of service.  Your difficulties hiring drivers is outside of any customers controls.  You have no problem taking my payments each month for services.  I expect those services to be provided each week.   "Delayed" services in this case were services that were not "provided."

  Again, we apologize for the inconvenience.  We do see you have been a customer since 2022 and have only experienced delay issues for the past 3 weeks.  I can assure you that Kimble is working hard at getting drivers hired and trained. We do see that your service was back on schedule with completion of service Thursday at 3:12p.  If this is not the case, please contact Kimble Customer Service at ************* **** ****.  Thank you!

  Our apologies again that there were delays. This was the 1st week your account has had an issue in the 2 years of doing business with Kimble.  We did collect that weeks' worth of trash on Monday, you are correct.  However, we also collected again on Friday of the same week. You are stating you did speak to anyone.  You spoke with a representative on 11/12/24 @ 12:31p. and everything was explained regarding the situation at that time.  You disconnected the call with the representative.  Your service was on completed for last week on 11/21 as scheduled.  We appreciate your patience during the delays and if there are any further questions, please contact Kimble Customer Service at ************* **** *****

  My account has had multiple issues with your company.  This is the first time I've involved the BBB.  For example, I've talked with KIMBLE regarding "fuel tax" add on fees and billing issues on multiple occasions.  This is not the first time our services have been late.  In addition, when your rep. called our home she didn't want to hear anything about my complaint and HUNG up!   Very poor business and poor customer services.  No problem taking my money each month though!

  We cancelled our service with Kimble, simply because we found another service with better prices. That was over 3 months ago. Kimble still has not picked up our trash cans from the street. I have called and emailed several times only to be told that they have escalated my complaint. When I tell them that I am going to get rid of these myself I am told that I will be charged for the cans. Over 3 months is rediculous for sitting on our curb.

  For the last few months, trash pickup is late at least a day: our trash pickup is on Friday and it has sat there until Monday afternoon in some cases. When it was warmer, the trash stunk and left the neighborhood unsightly. Every time I have contacted them it is always due to a labor shortage: I can understand this for a week or two but not months. This needs to be resolved.

  Their customer service is horrible and they consistently pick up our trash a day or so late and they don’t seem to care when it’s brought to their attention. If I’m charged one or more late fees if my bill is late, why arent they removing charges when they are late. I’m sick of it.

  Kimble trash company continues to not pick up our trash and won’t refund us for not providing a service that we prepaid for. I’ve called numerous times and Kimble has yet to pick up our trash that is in a commercial trash container left at the end of our driveway in plain site in the same spot for the last 2 years. Our address is clearly marked in both directions with large green reflective EMS compliant numbers. Kimble agreed to provide Friday pick up service and had failed to pick up our trash on a regular Friday schedule since May 2024. Then charged for extra bags when they are days late picking up. They lie on my account stating the container wasn’t out or mark the service as complete and we’ve watched them just drive past our house and not stop. When I call they either mark my account as completed or container not out which is not true and I started taking video of us taking the trash can down on Thursday nights for Friday pickups. We have to take our trash down an almost 1000 foot driveway to get it there and place it by the road. In the same spot we’ve left it at for the last two years. Dr Their solution to me was to rent a Kimble trash can however the neighbor has small round trash cans or just places their trash bags in the ground and it gets picked up. When we started service with them 2 years ago we could have our own trash can and paid $150 or so dollars for a nice trash container that is complaint with their equipment. As they days go buy my regular trash builds up at the house because the container is still at the road not picked up and I do not want to damage my car by placing trash bags in it.

  They didn’t pick up as scheduled on October 11 
  We cancelled our service on 10/16 to be effective immediately.  Spoke with Carrie the customer service mgr. I got a delay notice email for pick up on 10/18 to be picked up 10/19. They have since disabled my online account log in so I can no longer view any of our information or past payments for tax purposes. And we have not received a refund for service.

  Monthly, we were charged for a trash receptacle. After poor service, we cancelled and asked them to remove the trash receptacle. They said it could take up to 4 weeks to remove the receptacle from our property. At 4 weeks it was still not removed. I called and they said they had 2 more weeks to get it, per the company policy. At 8 weeks I called and stated they had to remove it or I would get rid of it. They stated they would charge me if I got rid of it. They also stated that they could not guarantee when it will be picked up. I am housing their equipment at this point under threat of being charged for it.

  I have two trash cans. This company is a day or two late almost every week. They dumped one can and left the second one after being a day late on 8/30/24. I called Kimble and they said they would send a truck out to pick up our second trash can, if they would not make it before the holiday weekend they would let me know, neither happened. This is unacceptable at this point and it is to difficult to make contact with someone in person. Horrible customer service.

  We have reviewed the information received and want to apologize for the service issue that occurred.  A Kimble supervisor has reached out today to discuss your account with you and left a message.  We feel that the resolution that we advised of will be fair as well as notified the operations team of the 2nd cart at you location as they were originally unaware.  If you have any further questions or concerns, please reach out to Kimble Customer Service at *************** **** ****.  Thank you for being a valued customer of Kimble Recycling & Disposal, Inc.
