  Whitetail Disposal has missed October 20th, November 10th, December 8th and now today December 15th recycle pick up. The trucks drive right past our house and pick up other side of the street so there should be no reason they miss us (and our neighbors time and time again). We have contacted Whitetail via email each and every one of these missed pick up days so we don't know why there has been no resolution or communication with us or the appropriate people in charge? I spoke with *** and she said there would be no pick up today as they again missed us for the 4th time in two months and again we were told recovery could take 24/48 business hours. which is the response we get every time we are missed. Our regular scheduled day is Friday, so when we are missed, the container needs to sit by a very busy street all weekend long and into Monday or Tuesday of the next week. I have asked the company to have a representative get back to us with a reason we keep getting missed and we have not had a response to date. This is in breach of contract as we pay the company to pick up recyclables on Friday! we want to be contacted by a Supervisor or Owner of the company with a resolution not a person answering the phones.

  Whitetail Disposal is participating and conducting unfair business practices in violation of ******* Anti-trust Act. As a waste disposal company they are providing services at or below their cost in order to monopolize the waste and recycling disposal service in Whitpain Township in Pennsylvania. When the competitive companies ******************* and **************** no longer service the area Whitetail then is able to exorbantly increase the price to a sustainable market level free from competition. This company should be willing to stand by their quotation.

  Whitetail Disposal does our very best to keep our pricing as stable as possible for as long as possible. We offer our new customers a guaranteed price for their first year of service, however after that first year, if there are rate increases, customers would be responsible for the new charges. Thank you for being a customer since 2018, we very much appreciate your long-term business. Over the past few years, we have faced numerous increased costs including increased dumping fees, fuel and environmental costs, cost of living/working increases, part and equipment increases. I see that your rate did increase by $6 per month last year, we did our very best to keep this increase as minimal as possible to all our customers.

  My wife and I were using ***** ********** for our garbage disposal. Whitetail Disposal sent a sales rep to my house with a better deal, so I agreed. This was approximately 7/1/2023. The deal was for garbage and recycling removal every Thursday for $93 for 3 months. My recycling was not picked up one time on the scheduled day. Not one single time. Strange thing is, my garbage was always collected. Every single Thursday I would get home at 4:00 and would have to call and ask why I was not picked up and schedule another pickup. Every Thursday I was promised it would not happen again. I let the associate answering the phone handle it the first two weeks. When it was clear she would not be able to help, I asked to speak to a supervisor. Literally every single time I called, I was told they had left for the day, and a request for a call back would be submitted on my behalf. I never received a call from the supervisor. Ever. I got a call from the shift supervisor I spoke with once, but that was it. On 9/11, after roughly 6 weekly calls with no results and not even a conversation with a supervisor, I called several times in the day starting very early and finally connected with a supervisor late afternoon. @ 3:45, a woman named **** got on the phone and told me she was the supervisor and would try to help me. I told her I had been calling for 6 weeks, had not gotten any help, and didn't even get the decency of a phone call. Worse still, my problem was still going on. I told **** I did not want to do business with them anymore, I did not want to pay a cancelation fee, I wanted a refund, and I wanted them to come get their garbage cans. **** completely agreed to this. As of today, 9/26, I have not received a refund, I still have the garbage cans, and I have received no call or email acknowledging our agreement and giving instructions for the removal of their garbage cans. I am flat out being ignored by Whitetail. PLEASE, help me!

  Customer Answer

  Date: 09/28/2023

  I made a mistake in my initial report. The date my service began with Whitetail was 6/1/2023, not 7/1/2023. Furthermore, my wife and I called yesterday, 9/27/2023 and were blown off again. My wife called at 2:30, and I called at 3:30. Both times we were told ****, the manager, would call us back. At 4:55, we had not gotten a call back, so I called again. I was told **** had left for the day and there was no one that would speak to me. I was told I would not be given an extension, or phone number for a supervisor, and **** was "still waiting to hear back from her boss." This means they could not fix my pickup issue over 3 months. I was always told "they were waiting to hear from" whatever department or boss. I do not believe this, I believe nothing was done, and I was ignored. It's hard to believe it takes 3 months to contact their own pickup department, and a further 2 weeks (so far) to hear from a manager to simply cancel service, issue a refund, and pickup their trash cans. I have been less polite with each passing day, and their staff have been equally increasing in rudeness. I do not want to continue fighting with these people that clearly do not care. I just want a refund, a guarantee my contract is canceled without a fee, and the garbage cans removed. Thank you.

  We are very sorry to hear about these issues! We currently perform over 250,000 residential trash and recycle collections per week of which 99.8% are completed successfully, on time and without issue. We are continuously working to improve our services with a goal of 0 reported service challenges. I do see when you had signed up with a sales team member, an agreement was signed confirming that we would be providing service for 1 year and if you would choose to cancel service prior to the end of the first year, there would be a $75 cancellation fee. Due to the challenges that you have reported in service, our team did make an exception to cancel the account and provide a refund, additionally waiving the cancellation fee. Our equipment team is in the process of scheduling the equipment to be removed. Once this has been confirmed on schedule, an email will be sent to confirm this time frame. Refunds are not processed until we have successfully retrieved our equipment. We will continue to remain in contact via email with confirmation of can removal.

   Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because:
  
  You did not address my complaint at all. You seem to be ignoring and diminishing my complaint. I don’t care what % you get right, frankly. You did not pick up my recycling on time, call me back, or email me for 3 full months. I had to call and be very rude time and time again to get any help at all. Your business has not been in contact at all. What emails or phone calls are you talking about? Not one person has called or emailed me.  Zero. As a matter of fact, I spoke with **** again on Thursday 9/28/2023. She confirmed I would get a refund and you’d pick up your cans I explained to her for the 3rd time no one calls me back and I never receive an email. I specifically asked **** to just write me a short email confirming the refund, the cancellation of the fee, and a date for the can pickup. She promised me she would write it right after we got off the phone. I never got an email. I made sure she had my wife’s correct email before we got off the phone. Your message is broad, insincere, and does not at all address the problems I had. I made the arrangements for my refund, and the removal after yelling and screaming. You have no right to frame this as though you handled ANYTHING, or are somehow helped me. I insisted on my refund, and waving the fee, which was also a fight. I’m asking you acknowledge how badly you still continues to treat me as a customer and to take responsibility for this nightmare you put me through. Your dismissive response is saddening, but not surprising.

  *** *******, we are very sorry to hear that you feel your concerns were not addressed. At this time, we do show that the equipment has been removed from the property as requested and the account cancelled. The referenced emails were in regard to upcoming notifications of these actions.

At this time, we are confirming records of calls at the end of June, 2 calls in July and 2 calls in August. Our team will continue to investigate these as we do take all concerns very seriously.

   Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  To start, this is a better response, so thank you for that. I am not choosing this option to "reject" your response, rather, I would like to keep this complaint open until this matter is fully resolved. I was promised a refund, and as of this moment, I have not received one. Furthermore, I am concerned with accountability specific to the multiple employees who promised me they would personally handle my problems and never did. Again, this was not one or two times, this continued to happen without any attention for several months. I hope you consider that as egregious as I do. I will not consider this matter taken care of until I am given some kind of explanation as to who allowed this to happen, or at least why this happened. I believe I deserve that response at least. I am also still awaiting my refund which I was offered, I did not demand it. To end on a more positive note, your response this time was more personal and sincere, so I do appreciate it. Please, let us work together to come to an amicable, and compete resolution of this matter.

  I contracted with Whitetail disposal for trash removal on July 25th and was charged $87.00 for their service. I contacted them when I did not receive trash cans and was told they would not service my location. Then they dropped off the trash cans! I have contacted them 4 times to request my refund and each time they tell me that I will not get a refund until they pick up the trash cans. It has been 2 months and I do not have a refund and they have not come back for the cans.

  We are very sorry to hear of this difficulty. Unfortunately, after the signup process, it has been determined that we were unable to provide the level of service and quality of service that Whitetail Disposal provides our customers due to the potential difficulties in servicing your road. I do see that our team has arranged removal of the equipment and the refund request has been approved. The credit card that was used for the payment has been refunded however depending on the type of card, the refund may be held by the bank / credit card company for additional days. You should have received an email confirmation of this refund and will be able to follow up with the bank or credit card company for additional information.

  I had a trademark can that went missing a while back during a storm.I called whitetail and let them know.Said they would drop off a can but never did.In the meantime I have been using my own can.Trash does not get picked up sometimes because it is not a White tail can.I always put it out along with the old trade mark recycle can Last week they got the recycling but not the trash.I called and got same response they will send a recovery truck out but never did Am now waiting for a whitetail can but it hasn't come yet.It didn't before either If and when I do get a new can I don't think I should have to pay the 89$ for it or what they charge since we paid for the trademark can years ago.I didn't find that can after the storm so I am guessing whoever found it is using it.

  Whitetail Disposal does our best to respond to all customer concerns and resolve the underlying issues as quickly as possible. After a recent phone call with our team, an order was placed in for a Whitetail trash container to be delivered at no extra charge. We are actively working on having this done as quickly as possible. Our team will also follow up to confirm completion.

  I contacted Whitetail Disposal in March 0f 2023. We agreed that my service would begin April 6, 2023, as my other service was ending March 31, 2023. I was told that trash cans would be delivered at least 2 weeks before service was to start.Well the cans never were delivered. When I contacted Whitetail, and spoke to ********, she told me they were out of cans and it would be at least 2 to 3 weeks befote they could supply them, even that was uncertqin. I asked if I could put mey trash out in trash bags for pick up until the cans arrived They said no . I had to use another trash company. In the mean time, I contacted my credit card company and filed a dispute. **** agreed with me and refunded my $87.00. Now Whitetail is dunning  me for the $87.00. I spoke with ****** on 7/10/23 and she had no answers. She said she would have a Lead Supervisor call me,That did not happen****** said they b wanted a copy of my crredit card statement, which I refuse to give them.I do not feel they have a right to my personal information. **** did advise them of the charge back. That should be that.

  Business Response

  Date: 07/19/2023

  We are very sorry for any confusion. At the time of the account cancellation on 4/10/2023, the customer service team member who assisted in closing the account has placed on a refund request for $87.00. This was approved by management and issued 5/15/2023/ The credit card chargeback was then completed 6/5/2023. As we had already issued a refund for the start-up amount as previously agreed, when the chargeback hit it had provided a second $87 credit. One payment had been returned twice, first via refund by Whitetail Disposal and second by the credit card company. The initial refund of $87 is due back to Whitetail Disposal based on this. There will continue to be an $87 charge on the account until this has been rectified. 

   

  Customer Answer

  IfWhitetail had refunded my money or responded to my phone calls, this would never gave occurred.  Secondly, in my more than one hour trying to straighten this out with ****, they admitted to a double charge back and said they had corrected it with Whitetail’s  bank on 6/27!!

  Lauren from Whitetail has never responded to my many phone calls, or this would have been resolved months ago.  I also think since the double charge back came from ****, that Whitetail should have been dealing with ****!!, 

  Until someone from Whitetail, who has authority (******) communicates with me by phone I do not see the possibility of this being rectified! 

  Thank you for your help

  In May, 2022 a Whitetail Disposal sales Rep came to the door trying to sell switching to their company. Which I agreed to because of the 96 gallon cans and just under 100 dollars every 3 months for garbage, and recycling. They dropped the cans off within 2 weeks. But after over a month they hadn't picked it up yet. Then I called and they sent they aren't doing our area. After 5 months they still didn't reimburse the money. Then I called once again in December and they said they were servicing our area again. So I said if they come get the garbage they can't put the initial money towards this time. Which then it went okay till June 2023. Now they just left a message saying they aren't doing our area again. I couldn't get back with my original company without paying double what I originally paid because I was no longer grandfathered in. They should be warned about. It should be illegal really.

  Business Response

  Date: 06/28/2023

  ****, we are very sorry for these issues. Unfortunately due to the road conditions, it has been determined that there is too great of a safety risk to continue servicing. We are providing a refund for the upcoming quarter of service that was paid for; we do need to ensure the cans are removed prior to the processing of this refund.

  Since April 26, 2023 I have been putting up to the permitted (according to Whitetail's website) 3 lawn bags out with my trash. The bags are not heavy and are untied as per Whitetail's request. Their driver continuously collects the trash from the cans using the mechanical arm on his truck but refuses to get out of the truck to pick up the bag(s). I have seen him do this on 2 occasions. I called Whitetail on 4/26/23 (2:45pm), 5/4/23 (8:10am), 5/10/23 (2:53pm), 5/24/23 (1:30pm) and 5/25/23 (2:28pm). During each call I explained the situation and was told they would send another driver out 2 days later to collect the bag(s). On 5/24/23 I spoke with who agreed "this needs to be escalated to a supervisor, and one of the 3 of them will call you". I called again on 5/25/23 as I had not heard from anyone and was told by ******* "you are on the list for them to call". As of today (5/31) no one has called me yet from Whitetail. This clearly is an issue with the driver because other Whitetail clients I know that live in nearby neighborhoods never have this issue. In addition to the monthly Whitetail charge, they also charge a "fuel surcharge" that would be less if a second driver didn't have to come to my property every week to collect the ignored trash. All I want is for this driver to do his job and collect ALL of my trash. I have better things to do with my time than placing a call to Whitetail literally every Tues/Wed for uncollected trash that I pay to have collected.

  On May 3rd, a Whitetail trash truck hit and destroyed my sons basketball net that he received as a Christmas gift and he uses everyday. I wouldn’t have known how it happened if it wasn’t for my surveillance camera. The driver of the truck hit my sons net at the bottom of my driveway and dragged it to in front of my neighbors property, got out took it off the truck, left it there where he stopped and got back into the truck and drove off. I called and filed a damage control ticket and was asked to send the video of the incident and someone would contact me. Three weeks later and many unanswered inquiries, I finally got a return call on May 24 at 3:07pm from a customer service rep who told me that her and the supervisor reviewed the tape and saw the destruction and asked what I wanted for the damage. I told her that I just want his net replaced. She asked what kind it was and I gave her the name (******** 52” portable basketball hoop), she ******* it and told me that it’s too much money and the supervisor said he would pay $200 for it. I looked and there was nothing comparable on the market to replace it for $200. She said unfortunately they’re not willing to replace it for the same item they destroyed because that’s just “too much for a basketball net (it is now on sale for $450 which is less than what it was bought for). The customer service rep also gave me unsolicited parental advice and said that she “wouldn’t allow her kids to play basketball in the street”. I informed her that my sons are 12 and 13 and play responsibly at the bottom of my driveway on the cul de sac where we live within the development we live in. My sons waited a long time for that basketball net and are now without one due to their destruction they won’t take responsibility for.
