They arrived 30 minutes later than appointment time. They explained their pricing and policies (recycle, hazardous waste removal, etc). Did a walk through and they estimated that I probably had more than 1 truck load and I would need to make a second appointment if required. Removed items that I had marked with blue tape (realizing 2 appointments needed I had them take the large stuff). Worked quickly and efficiently. Asked if there was an item in question to be removed. Cleaned up afterward.
Description of Work: Removed all selected house hold items and filled their truck beyond capacity (%110). DO: Ensure a full load for removal. They charge based on how much of their truck is filled. A full load is less than 2X a half load. DO: Ensure removal of household items is clearly marked. They allow for a 2 hr window per appointment so don't waste time identifying items to be taken. DO: Prioritize items to be removed. Large and heavy first. Stuff that you can throw away or donate last.

I do not have a choice but to use their services, and I don't like that. I have no comparisons to any other companies because I have never had the opportunity to use any other companies. Sometimes my trash can will be a half mile down the road.

They pick up the garbage. Their customer service tries to make things right. I have had issues that for some reason I haven't been on the list of their customers. They wouldn't pick up my regular trash. That was when I had just moved in. They told me they would have it taken care of no more than one business day. Their customers service is right on. I haven't had any issues after that though. The last day it happened they came around later that day to pick up my trash.

Great! We called on Friday and they scheduled us for Monday. They called in the morning on Monday to say they could come earlier if that fit with our schedule. It did! They arrived a short time later. The two fellows were friendly, courteous and thorough. They assessed the pile we had accumulated and determined what would be recycled and what would go to the dump. The job was quickly done! I can't tell you how great it was to see all that stuff disappear! We were charged exactly what the estimate was and also given a discount for mentioning Angie's List!! I would definitely use them again!
Description of Work: Removal of a variety of items from our garage. Some to be recycled and some destined for the dump.

They were very responsive to our needs even though they were really the only location we could call on. They were prompt and provided a courteous serivce.
Description of Work: We use their service for everyday waste disposal. We most recently ordered a dumpster for temporary use. They made a mistake initially by delivering one without wheels and we'd requested one with wheels. They quickly replaced it with what we requested then promptly picked it up when we were ready.

Very difficult to get any information from WM. Their web site directs you to a phone number, the phone number puts you in a long wait queue while telling you to try the web site. Got passed around from person to person and eventually told that they don't even service my area.

They were punctual and responsive. They were really nice and their customer service was excellent. They were very friendly people. I had asked for a small size dumpster and they had run out of stock. They called and informed me and asked if it was ok if they put in a larger one instead. I had no hassles with them.

During the snow, they missed two garbage pickups and one yard waste pickup. They said if you were missed that you could go to the dump free. Well, we did not have enough to take to the dump so I called and asked for a credit. They were very good about giving me the credit. I received the credit on April 1st as promised but the amount was incorrect. I called and they were very apologetic, explaining it was a computer error and fixed the problem. I was very impressed with the billing department and the fact that they care as a company buying newer equipment, being involved in better environmental practices.

I HAVE NOT BEEN HAPPY WITH HOW SLOPPY THE COLLECTORS HAVE BEEN. WE RENT THE LARGER CAN WHICH THEY USE AN ELECTRONIC ARM TO LIFT AND DUMP INTO THE TRUCK. THEY DO NOT PUT THE CAN BACK CAREFULLY AND TRASH ALWAYS ENDS UP ON THE GROUND. IT SEEMS LIKE THE TRASH CANS THEY HAVE TO PICK UP BY HAND, THEY PUT THEM BACK WHERE THEY FOUND THEM. I HAVE FOUND MY CAN OUT 4 TO FIVE FEET FROM WHERE WE LINE IT UP. THEY ARE VERY SPECIFIC AS TO WHERE THEY WANT US TO PUT OUR CAN, BUT THEY ARE NOT AS CONCERNED AS TO WHERE THEY PUT IT BACK. IF I HAD ANOTHER CHOICE FOR SERVICE, I WOULD CONSIDER IT.

THIS COMPANY IS CONSISTENT IN PICKING UP TRASH ON THE ASSIGNED DAY AND AT THE SAME TIME EACH WEEK. THEY ARE STRICT ABOUT CANS NOT BEING OVERSTUFFED AND WILL CHARGE YOU AN EXTRA AMOUNT IF THE LID IS NOT COMPLETELY CLOSED. THEY PROVIDE A SCHEDULE OF PICKUP DATES ALONG WITH HOLIDAY SCHEDULE CHANGES. THEY ALSO SEND A NEWSLETTER PERIODICALLY. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO COMPARE THE PRICE TO ANYTHING BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY THAT PICKS UP IN OUR AREA.
Description of Work: ONCE A WEEK PICKUP OF TRASH IN 1 64-GALLON CART AND 1 32-GALLON CAN, PLUS RECYCLING PICKUP EVERY OTHER WEEK. PRICE PAID IS QUARTERLY.

THE COMPANY DID WHAT IS SAID IT WOULD DO, ON TIME. WE WISH WE COULD CHOOSE BETWEEN COMPANIES TO GET A BETTER PRICE. THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE DUE TO MONOPOLY AGREEMENTS IN COUNTIES.
Description of Work: WASTE MANAGEMENT PROVIDED US A WASTE BIN FOR ROOFING MATERIAL AND OTHER GARBAGE WHEN OUR ROOF WAS REPLACED LAST OCTOBER. THE COMPLAINT WE HAVE IS THAT THERE IS A MONOPOLY FOR GARBAGE COLLECTION. WE COULD ONLY CONTRACT WITH THIS COMPANY IN KING COUNTY. A FRIEND USED A DIFFERENT COMPANY IN SNOHOMISH COUNTY AND PAID A LOT LESS FOR THE SAME TYPE OF SERVICE.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT NW HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY GOOD. THEY ARE HARD WORKERS, EVEN THOUGH THEY ONLY WORK ON THURSDAYS (THAT WAS A JOKE!). THE THREE TRUCKS COME VERY WEEK; THEYVE DONE IT FOR 15 YEARS AND ARE SO NICE. THEY GIVE STICKERS TO KIDS AND IVE EVEN SEEN THEM BACK UP AND RETRIEVE TRASH THAT HAS FALLEN LOOSE FROM THE TRUCK.
Description of Work: WASTE MANAGEMENT DOES WEEKLY COLLECTION OF TRASH THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY COME DOWN THE STREET, STOPPING AT EACH HOME, PICKING UP THE TRASH BIN AND THROW ALL THE TRASH INTO THE TRUCK. THEN THE TOP COMES DOWN AND SMASHES THE TRASH. ON THEY GO TO THE NEXT HOUSE...YADA,YADA,YADA.
