Please. Don't. Do. It.
October 25, 2021

Remodeling a old house and was in need of a dumpster. After multiple phone calls and WEEKS of waiting we finally received a dumpster. However when it was time to empty the dumpster we were told that they couldn't dump that much weight and the materials that were in it. We made sure to specially tell them what the dumpster was for and how much weight would be in it. We were assured that it would be okay. However we were told we would have to remove all the material from the dumpster before they could come get it. So we ended up having to pay for the dumpster anyway but got to put nothing in it. So I called today to have it removed from the property and I am once again playing "call and wait". Please don't do it. Don't be scammed and waste your money like we did.

Rip off
October 11, 2022

I just canceled by service. They have charge me 1 month of service which I didn't use. I had switched to another company on the area. The new company Herrington charged least for 3 months of service the Republic charged me for a month should be no star

The service is great, the service charge is reasonable and if they do miss a pick up (which almost never happens) they fix the issue asap. But... trying to talk to someone about an issue is almost impossible and recycling isn't offered to all areas. My biggest issue is paying $333.67 for the delivery of 3 containers. When ordering my 3rd can I was quoted a price of $33.67, which I paid then. But was billed another $100 for delivery. When I called to ask why... I was constantly disconnected and still no answer. Since I work across the street from my nearest location I offered to pick the can up myself and was told no. So I pay the regular 3 month payment plus the monthly charge for each trash can and still payed over $333.00 to have the cans I rent delivered. I'm still waiting on the answer of why I was quoted over the phone one price then billed for even more.

Greedy Business
October 31, 2021

First of all, my bill went up, AGAIN, $22. My bill has gone up every time they sent one out, every 3 months. Then, we moved, and I called to cancel service. The lady told me I'd receive a final bill, and they charged $30 to pick up the container. RIDICULOUS. And I had already paid a portion of my bill, and STILL OWE $59! For 3 pick-ups. I would NOT recommend this business as your trash pick up service.

I cancelled my sevices and they are changing $ 30 to pick up my trash container and $12 for gas and $5 for processing fees and then they want to charge me the same for my recycling. So they are making about $94 just to pick up my container.

Little to no updates
December 28, 2022

Had my trash missed because I got updated Tuesday 11am day of pick up that Holidays does not effect trash pick up schedule when my pick up time is 7-8am Tuesday. Numerous neighbors down my block trash is still out too because of the delay in "update". Will be changing to a different trash pick up service ASAP. Highly not recommended for anyone out there!

Republic Services Forreston Illinois is the absolute worst place to work for. Was fired for no reason by a guy whose managerial experience is McDonald's in Freeport. Then they lied to the state and said I quit. They have had drivers quit left and right, they are hiring and they fired a driver who never missed a day. Earlier in the year they fired all the driver helpers without warning. There are way better companies to work for.

Fuel surcharge
December 16, 2022

Quarterly bill went to $75 to $109, fuel charge they said, called to cancel, oh we can wavier that. I said ok next quarter comes along fuel charge went up now $37 for the quarter. I called to cancel, oh we can wavier that I said no I want to cancel. Cost me $43 to cancel the service. They stated that was for them to come pick up the container which had to be empty. I asked what I was supposed to do with the garbage collected for the last week of my paid service. They gave me directions to the dump. Unbelievable

Canceled Service
November 16, 2020

I wrote a review over a month ago about how their service is horrible and they kept missing my pickup days. Since than i have canceled my service and it has been a challenge to get my containers picked up. We were scheduled to have containers picked up on November 9 and as usual a no show. I called them everyday last week and never got an answer and was always told it would go to escalations and i would receive a phone call back from local supervisor still waiting. Apparently they came by today and of course they didn't take my containers because it wasn't curbside. I never got a notice that they were coming today and because we had high winds last night where i live i brought containers close to my house now they are blaming me for not having it curbside when i wasn't even informed they were coming. Still waiting for a phone call a week later when i was suppose to get one within 24-48 hours. This company has horrible customer service

This company is far the worst. They tell you they are going to provide you the services that you requested. Overall your trash is not emptied nor any services to your trash can is not serviced. They send you a bill for services you never received. So we canceled the services. They told me my services were canceled in which they never canceled it. They like to hear their selves. Talk. If you want a good trash company, this company is not it.

It's a disgrace that the City of Chula Vista has contracted this company to provide trash collection services. I moved to Chula Vista 2 years ago and have spent more than 18 months fighting made up late fee charges they keep adding to my bills.
Additionally, the company failed to provide collection services for more than 3 weeks when their employees went on strike and they refuse to give a full credit to their for the services they didn't provide during that period. When I contacted the company to ask when they were going to apply the credit, their representative told me they would give me a $14 credit only because that is the maximum amount they are "contractually" required to give each Customer regardless of the lenght of service they failed to provide.

Unreliable
March 23, 2021

Worst experience I have ever had with a service like this. They consistently miss trash pickups and tell you it will be picked up the next day and never come. The reps will tell you whatever they need to, to get you off the phone. They lie through their teeth. After months of this finally called to cancel, they wouldn't fully refund me and CHARGED a fee of $100 to pick up the bins. Honestly considering legal action against this pathetic organization. AVOID THEM AT ALL COST.

This crappy company bought out the locally owned company we used for over 15 years and the service and customer service are now absolutely horrible. If you call you're on hold for hours with no answer, and they don't even have a voicemail option. They constantly miss pick-ups and cancel all the time. Charging us monthly for a service that is super unreliable and spotty. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. If you even manage to get someone on the phone, they are rude and hardly helpful. I have been calling for over a week and still not been able to reach anyone.
