They are friendly, helpful, and punctual. Billing is easy and convenient and the staff is very pleasant. I have been on a monthly plan, and advance payment was not required like with some providers. I am so satisfied, I just went ahead and paid for a year when I didn't have to.
Description of Work: I moved into a new area and needed weekly trash service. After reading several reviews, I chose Bates Sanitation.
