Don't use Yelp, don't believe Yelp and definitely don't put your business on Yelp! I have a small business. Yelp gave me a free month of advertising when I signed up and promised a certain amount of business. That first month, I received 46 leads. Exactly the minimum they promised. Every lead had the same exact request word for word and not a single one ever replied when I reached out. I chose not to continue with Yelp advertising at that point. In the 18 months since, I have received exactly 0 leads. Every review I got after I stopped paying disappeared and I have been contact by Yelp multiple times where they try to trick me into paying for more advertising. I have also spoken to other business owners that have told me they pay Yelp to take down the negative reviews. Stay away from Yelp. It's a garbage business with questionable tactics.

We moved into a new home in pleasant hill. We were told that everyone in the community would be "required" to have the green bin for food waste. We agreed and subsequently put our food waste in it. Well, here we are 5 weeks later and it has only been picked up once and that was 3 weeks ago from now. I have made daily phone calls to them and repeatedly told that they will have someone "pick it up today". Only to find that it is still sitting outside my garage swarmed by flys and stinking to the high heavens. I have been told that a manager would call me and that supervisors were involved but nobody ever called. And now I just watched the truck drive by again. So I will be delivering this van to the republic services office and moving on. But if you have other options, use someone else for your disposal needs.
