ALLIED WASTE SVC

I have had this company pick up my trash for over 5 years. The drivers have always been polite and professional. My complaint is with the company and their contracts. As I said I have had used this company for over 5 years. I was looking to reduce my monthly bills and asked them to end my services. I had signed a contract but thought I could give them 60 days notice to discontinue services. Their contracts give you NO OPPORTUNITY to discontinue services early. You have to buy out your contract. Contracts are 36 months (3 years), this is ridiculous for a homeowner. I understand that they cannot make money with people coming and going a month at a time but I have been a customer for over 5 years and there was no willingness to work with me. I am stuck with this company who increased it?s monthly rate by $10.00 in less than a year. They can increase their rates to whatever they want and I am stuck paying it. Since I began this service my monthly fee has doubled in the 5 years between monthly rate and their environmental fee (which can change every month). I am stuck with this company and contract but I will warn EVERYONE I talk to and EVERYONE on Angie?s list to BEWARE of this ridiculous contract (Cell phone companies do not have these terms).
