      I paid for the 2025 trash year in full on 12/27/24 for $374. I have cancelled my service as of 6/25/25 and when I called to cancel and request a proration/refund for the remainder of the year July-Dec 2025 the representative would not process a refund and instead said "you chose to cancel with us, we can't refund that money" I'm asking for a refund for the remaining 6 months of the year or $187. I don't want to continue my service with Whitetail. Please refund the money that I am owed for the remainder of the year.

      Whitetail Disposal (A **********************) typically does not refund customers for early termination of service with the exception of sudden life events or moving out of state. Typically, if a customer chooses to cancel service to go to another provider, it is recommended they continue utilizing the service that has already been paid for. A member of management is reviewing this request and will be in contact regarding the decision.

      Whitetail Disposal's customer care manager will be reaching out to discuss this potential miscommunication. Traditionally, if a customer cancels in the middle of a paid quarter, no refunds are provided. In the case of unavoidable incidents or a move out of state, more information is needed to put a refund through for approval. At this time, the required information does not appear to have been received however our customer care manager will attempt to collect this information. 

      Business Response

      Date: 06/09/2025

      Our customer care manager did reach out as noted and obtained the information needed. She also advised the refund was approved and provided the timeline for receipt.

      I am wondering how long it should take to receive the check before I have to put in another complaint?
      I went way out of my way to deal with this.

      They said I needed to send my husband death certificate which I did and his name is still on the account.
      Thank you ****** ********

      Whitetail Disposal's customer service team did close the account as requested; as the account was set up for automatic payments through a checking account, the payment was processed prior to the cancellation. The refund team is investigating the delay in this process however it does appear that due to the autopay setup, a check will be issued for the refund amount. Check refunds can be delayed due to the paperwork process and the mail. Our team will follow up with more information as soon as available.

      I emailed them to put in writing we wanted to cancel our service effective the end of the month of May. They said I had to call. Then I call and get told I cannot cancel the services to call back in 2 weeks and try again. They have been providing unreliable services, raising their Rates and leaving a huge mess in our neighborhood each trash day, if they even show up. We want our services canceled the end of this month or now with a refund on the amount not used on the contract. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops as a disabled person. They said If I cancel it now they would take the bins before the end of the month, which means they did not fulfill the contract we have paid for. They do not have these terms listed anywhere on their site or contract either as the time frame to cancel services. Generally people give 30 days notice to end a service, not 2 weeks or less! They will not honor our request to end service at the end of this month and we just want them to treat us like the courteous human beings we were by trying to give them 30 days notice.

      Business Response

      Date: 05/06/2025

      We do apologize for any confusion regarding your request to cancel out the account. Typically, we ask customers to let us know approximately 2 weeks in advance of the cancellation to prevent any potential service issues or can removal. We will honor your request to cancel service at the end of May. There will be no refund due as the services are paid for through the end of May. The June, July and August statement has been released and is showing due however these charges will be removed upon account closure.

      Since beginning service with Whitetail Disposal, we have experienced ongoing issues with missed pickups for both trash and recyclingservices for which we have paid in full. Our trash has been missed at least six times, and in the past month alone, I have had to call the company twice, each time resulting in multiple follow-up calls just to ensure our waste was eventually collected.Despite our efforts, the responsiveness and reliability have not improved. On one occasion, a truck was dispatched but only collected our neighbors trash, then incorrectly claimed ours had also been picked upeven though our clearly labeled Whitetail bins were left untouched and our house was not checked.After yet another missed pickup on April 18, 2025 (the final straw), I called again on April 21 and asked to speak with a supervisor. I was assured by the highest-level supervisor that our trash would be collected on April 22. It was not.We are requesting a full refund for our 2025 payment and a cancellation of service due to repeated service failures. Instead of honoring this, Whitetail Disposal has only offered one month of free service going forwarddespite having failed to fulfill their obligations on numerous occasions.This situation has cost me hours of time and undue stress. We are no longer willing to accept excuses or partial remedies and ask for BBB assistance in resolving this matter.

      Whitetail Disposal (************************), notified our Lancaster customers of changes in their routes effective at the end of ******************************************************************************** reviewing the account, it appears not all the stated missed collections were reported the week of occurrence. Our team did provide 1 month credit based off of the reports and confirmed with the servicing team the issue was to be resolved. At this time, it appears the issue has been resolved however if you are still interested in canceling the service, please reach out to our customer service team to facilitate this.

      I am rejecting this response because:

       

      Its going on 1 month since this company debited a payment for a service they refused to provide on the basis of my surname. Its as simple as reversing the payment or putting a check in the mail.

      Im requesting a check to be mailed immediately.

      As the payment was made via electronic check, a refund check is in the process of being issues and mailed. Unfortunately the payment is unable to be reversed. Check refunds can take longer to process and receive as they are sent through the mail.

      In the week of January 6, 2025 there was a light snow event (1.5 inches of Snow) our trash and recycling dates were pushed back from the 10th until the 11th. Whitetail failed to pick up the recycling. I called Whitetail on Monday January 13th and was told it would be picked up later in the day, it was never picked up. I called back later that day around 3:45pm and I was told they would pick it up Tuesday morning. Tuesday never picked up again, I was told they checked with dispatching and it definitely be pick later that day on ********** now its Wednesday never picked up. Not only did they not pick up my recycling, they didnt pick up quite a few (***** or more) neighbors recycling bins in my development.They are new to the Lititz/********* area and pushed hard last summer to sign up many households in my development saying that their service is better, cheaper and much better than Goods Disposal.They changed companies from Whitetail to ******* and that the service was changed from Wednesday to Friday. They changed the phone number and ******* has no website.I must take quite amount of blame.I didnt research Whitetail and I went with the companies sales person.I was perfectly happy with Goods for 22 years and to save a couple dollars a quarter I went with a company that has a terrible yelp rating, not listed with the BBB and terrible reviews of services through out the Web. Worst of all I am stuck in a contract for the next 17 months.I hope this complaint reaches the ears of my Lititz/ Lancaster neighbors.Good Luck I called Whitetail on Tuesday January 14th 11:30am and reported that it was never picked and they told me that there is a work order a

      Our trash service day through you is now Friday (our service day was originally Tuesday). I understand that due to some weather storm forecasted back on Monday, January 6, you were operating on a one-day delay this past week, and our Friday trash pick-up services were to be completed on Saturday. Accordingly, our filled trash basket has been curbside since that time. However, my trash was never picked up by you. This is not the first time this has happened. I have had several issues in the past with Whitetail failing to pick up my trash as contracted. Each of these past two (2) occurrences have been relatively reasonably resolved following repeated phone calls by me. These are repeated phone calls which should not have had to ********* that as it may, I know from experience that if I call in, I am going to be told that a truck can be out within forty-eight hours. That is two (2) more days. This is unacceptable. You are already three (3) days late from what was supposed to be a Friday morning trash pick up. If you try to ask me to wait another two (2) days, that would put you at five (5) days late. The reason that this would be unacceptable is that I pay for and am contracted with you for once a week trash pick up, not once every twelve days. My bills to you have always been paid timely. Should you refuse to pick up my trash on Monday, not only will you be in breach of our contract but any $75 cancellation fee to which you may believe you are entitled would be inapplicable and uncollectable by you.That said, I need you to pick up the trash (which you were supposed to pick up on Friday) no later than Monday afternoon. That is my specific request. Should you fail to do, I shall be free to terminate my services with you without being liable for any early termination fee due to your breach of our contract. Kindly advise of your intentions. I can be reached at ************** or via email at ****************************
