Description of Work: We were upset when Carmel mandated Republic Waste to be used as the only provider for our area as we were very satisfied with the service we had and used for many years. We have found Republic to be a good provider and appreciate their "Door Service" for older people...They come & roll the bins from the garage area & bring them back for us, the part we dreaded has been taken care of. (we have a gravel drive & 78 &; 80) Both Ted and James are very helpful and nice. Appreciate their help very much...The Customer Service phone rep's have also been very helpful when needed.

Description of Work: THIS IS A QUARTERLY RATE OF $39.81 FOR RESIDENTIAL TRASH COLLECTION.

Description of Work: WE HAVE USED REPUBLIC WASTE SERVICES FOR OVER 2 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR SERVICE. THEY ARE ALWAYS ON TIME TO PICK UP THE GARBAGE AND THE DRIVERS ARE VERY COURTEOUS. THEY PICK UP LARGER ITEMS WHEN REQUESTED WITH NO HASSLE.

garbage collection
 + -1 moreREPUBLIC SERVICES WAS UNRESPONSIVE A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN I LEFT A MESSAGE REGARDING AN ENORMOUS AND LONG CABLE IN THE STREET, IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. WE RECENTLY MOVED INTO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. OUR TRASH PICKUP FROM REPUBLIC HAD BEEN VERY SATISFACTORY PRIOR TO THIS. THE CABLE DID NOT COME FROM OUR TRASH, BUT WAS OBVIOUSLY FROM SOMEONE ELSE'S, AS THIS WAS ON TRASH PICKUP DAY AFTER THE TRASH HAD BEEN COLLECTED. I CALLED REPUBLIC AND LEFT A MESSAGE, RE; HAVING IT PICKED UP, SINCE IT WAS LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. NO ONE CALLED ME BACK. NEITHER DID ANYONE COME TO PICK IT UP. IF IT'S MATERIAL THAT THEY DON'T PICK UP, THEY SHOULD LEAVE IT AT THE HOMEOWNER'S HOUSE OR DRIVEWAY, NOT LEAVE IT IN THE STREET AT RANDOM. IT WAS PROBABLY 5 INCHES IN DIAMETER AND ABOUT 12 FEET LONG. I THINK REPUBLIC SHOULD RETURN THEIR CUSTOMER'S PHONE CALLS AND MESSAGES. GOOD COMMUNICATION IS IMPORTANT BETWEEN SERVICE PROVIDERS AND CUSTOMERS. A NEIGHBOR TOOK IT TO A DUMP AND HAD TO PAY THE FEE THERE.
Description of Work: COLLECT TRASH WEEKLY, ON TUESDAYS.

 + -1 moreMY LARGEST COMPLAINT WOULD BE THE PRICE INCREASES WE HAVE BEEN SEEING DUE TO THE HIGHER FUEL COSTS. EVERY BILL (3 MO PERIOD) HAS AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE. I LOVE THE NEW TRASH CANS THAT THEY USE THE MECHANICAL ARM, YOU CAN FIT A LOT MORE TRASH IN THEM.

 + -1 moreRECENTLY, REPUBLIC WASTE SERVICES TOOK OVER THE TRASH PICK-UP FROM OUR PREVIOUS SUPPLIER SOUTHERN SCAVENGER SERVICES. THEY IMMEDIATELY RAISED THE PRICES BY 9% WITH NO IMPROVEMENT IN SERVICES. THEIR TIME FOR PICKING UP THE TRASH IS NOT CONSISTENT, SOMETIMES THEY PICK UP IN THE MORNING, AND SOMETIMES LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. THERE WAS ONE OCCASION WHEN THEY DID NOT PICK UP ON THEIR SCHEDULED DATE. I WILL SAY THAT THE DRIVERS, AND WORKMEN ARE COURTEOUS. THEY WILL PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO LET DRIVERS PASS THEM IF THEY HAVE AN EXTENDED STOP. THEY ALSO GIVE A FRIENDLY WAIVE TOO. THEY DO THEIR BEST TO PLACE THE TRASH CANS BACK ON THE CURB IN A SECURE MANNER SO THAT THEY DON'T ROLL BACK INTO THE STREET.
Description of Work: WEEKLY RESIDENTIAL TRASH PICK-UP. THE COST IS $40.50 FOR 3 MONTHS OF WEEKLY SERVICE.

garbage collection
 + -1 moreWE USED REPUBLIC FOR YEARS FOR OUR TRASH PICKUP. WE WERE BILLED EVERY 3 MONTHS AND IT SEEMED EACH BILL WAS HIGHER THAN THE LAST. FINALLY WHEN I WANTED THEM TO PICK UP AN OLD PORTABLE TV AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL $25, I SWITCHED. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT 2 OF MY NEIGHBORS IN THE SAME SUBDIVISION AND SAME SERVICE PAID LESS THAN WE DID. ONE PAID $40/3 MOS., THE OTHER $51/3MOS., AND WE PAID $55/3 MOS. WE SWITCHED TO RAY'S TRASH SERVICE AND THEY ARE VERY GOOD AND $20 CHEAPER.
Description of Work: COLLECTED TRASH ONCE A WEEK.

 + -1 moreI CURRENTLY HAVE SERVICE WITH REPUBLIC, BUT HAVE BEEN UNHAPPY WITH THEIR SERVICE. THEY ROUTINELY DO NOT PICK UP TRASH ON THE DESIGNATED DAY, BUT COME AROUND THE NEXT DAY. OVER CHRISTMAS, THEY SIMPLY DID NOT SHOW UP FOR TWO WEEKS AND DID NOT PROACTIVELY NOTIFY OUR NEIGHBORHOOD OF THIS. I CALLED THEIR OFFICE AND THE ANSWERING MACHINE MESSAGE SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE PICKING UP OUR TRASH UNTIL AFTER JAN 1ST. TODAY THEY DID NOT PICK UP OUR TRASH, AGAIN. BECAUSE IT WAS MEMORIAL DAY ON MONDAY? BEST WAY ALSO SERVICES OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY SEEMED CAPABLE OF PICKING UP THEIR CUSTOMER'S TRASH THIS WEEK WITHOUT DELAY. I'M CALLING BEST WAY TOMORROW TO SIGN UP FOR THEIR SERVICE.

garbage collection
 + -1 moreI HAVE TWO COMPLAINTS ABOUT REPUBLIC: 1) SINCE SEPT 03, MY RATES HAVE INCREASED 21% WITH NO OTHER EXPLANATION THAN INCREASED OPERATIONAL EXPENSES (NO ADDITIONAL SERVICES WERE ADDED). 2) MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR GETS THE SAME EXACT SERVICE AND IS CHARGED $32/YEAR LESS THAN I AM. OUR HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION CONFRONTED THEM ABOUT CHARGING DIFFERENT RATES THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY REFUSED TO GIVE EVERYONE THE SAME RATES. THEREFORE, THIS IS NOT THE TYPE OF COMPANY THAT I CARE TO DO BUSINESS WITH, ESPECIALLY SINCE A COMPETITOR CAN GIVE ME THE SAME SERVICE FOR $60/YEAR LESS!

garbage collection
 + -1 moreEVERYONE ON THE STREET HAS CALLED REPUBLIC MULTIPLE TIMES EACH WEEK THAT WE'VE NOT HAD SERVICE ON THE SCHEDULED DAY. PICKUPS HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 24 HOURS LATE THREE OUT OF THE PAST FOUR WEEKS, LEAVING GARBAGE TO STAND ALL ALONG OUR STREET IN THE SUMMER HEAT. REQUESTS TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM WITH A MANAGER HAVE BEEN IGNORED. NO MANAGER IS AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THE CALL AND NO ONE EVER CALLS BACK. THE TRUCK CREW IS EFFICIENT AND NEAT ABOUT THEIR WORK, IF OR WHEN THEY DO COME.
Description of Work: WHEN REPUBLIC BOUGHT THE RUMPKE COMPANY ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THEY PROMISED TO IMPROVE QUALITY (BETTER TRUCKS THAT WOULDN'T BREAK DOWN SO OFTEN) AND SERVICE (ON-SCHEDULE PICK-UP). HOWEVER, FOUR OUT OF THE PAST FIVE WEEKS, THEY HAVE NOT COME TO OUR STREET ON THE SCHEDULED DAY.

Description of Work: I HAD A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH REPUBLIC. I HIRED THEM TO PERFORM TRASH REMOVAL SERVICES FOR A COUPLE OF MY RENTAL PROPERTIES. THEIR TRUCKS WERE SO HEAVY THAT IT LITERALLY CAUSED MY ASPHALT TO BUCKLE UNDER THE WEIGHT WHEN THEY EMPTIED THE DUMPTSTERS. IN FACT, THE ONLY PART THAT WAS TORN UP WAS EXACTLY WHERE THE TRUCK PARKED TO EMPTY THE DUMPSTER; NOTHING ELSE WAS CRACKED OR DISTURBED IN ANY MANNER.(I SAW IT HAPPEN.) I ALSO SHARE A DRIVEWAY WITH ANOTHER INVESTOR WHO HAD THE SAME TYPE OF DUMPSTERS AT HIS BUILDING BUT USES ANOTHER COMPANY (RAYS) AND EVEN THOUGH THE ASPHALT WAS POURED AT THE SAME TIME FOR BOTH BUILDINGS, HIS WAS FINE. I CONTACTED REPUBLIC SEVERAL TIMES OVER A SIX WEEK PERIOD AND THE MANAGEMENT AVOIDED MY CALLS AND TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY. ENRAGED, I DEMANDED THAT THEY REMEDY THE PROBLEM THAT THEY CAUSED. (IT SIMPLY MADE NO SENSE THAT I HAD TO PAY THEM TO TEAR UP MY PROPERTY!) THEY AGREED TO SEND SOMEONE OUT TO FIX IT. HOWEVER, THEY ULTIMATELY REFUSED TO DO SO.

 + -1 moreDONT EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME WITH REPUBLIC SERVICES RECYCLING. THEY ARE VERY PROMPT ABOUT BILLING YOU BUT NEVER DELIVER ANY SERVICE..JUST A BILL. ALL OF THE OFFICE STAFF THAT I TALKED TO WHEN I WAS STILL TRYING TO GET SERVICE WERE ALWAYS VERY COURTEOUS AND PROFESSIONAL SO THAT IS WHY I RATED THEM A C ON THAT. HOWEVER, I NEVER WAS GIVEN THE CHANCE TO TALK WITH SOMEONE WHO COULDVE REALLY HELPED..E.G. A MANAGER. I HAVENT EVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH REPUBLIC TRASH SO I DONT HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEM.
Description of Work: I SET UP RECYCLING SERVICE OVER THE PHONE WITH REPUBLIC SERICES ON 12/27. MY FIRST PICK UP AND BIN DELIVERY WERE TO BE ON 1/2. I CALLED AGAIN ON 1/3 SINCE NO BIN OR PICK UP ON 1/2. WAS TOLD THEY WERE BUSY DUE TO HOLIDAYS AND COULDNT DELIVER BIN OR PICK UP RECYCLING UNTIL FOLLOWING WEEK 1/9. I CALLED ON 1/10 SINCE NO BIN OR PICK UP STILL. WAS TOLD THEY DIDNT THINK THEY SERVICED MY AREA BUT THEYD CHECK WITH ROUTE MANAGER. FINALLY HEARD BACK AND THEY CONFIRMED THEY DID PICK UP IN MY AREA - I SHOULD RECEIVE BIN & FIRST PICK UP ON 1/16. CALLED ON 1/17 SINCE NO BIN OR PICK UP. TOLD THEM TO CANCEL THE SERVICE SINCE ID NEVER RECEIVED ANY AND THAT I WOULDNT BE PAYING ANY PORTION OF THE BILL THEYD SENT FOR THE QUARTER. THE WOMAN I SPOKE WITH HAD THE BIN DELIVERED THAT AFTERNOON AND SAID MY FIRST PICK UP WOULD BE 1/23. NO PICK UP AGAIN ON 1/23 OR 1/30..CANCELED ACCOUNT AND BILLING ON 1/31. TOLD THEM I GAVE UP..CLOSE MY ACCOUNT SINCE ID WAITED MORE THAN A MONTH FOR SOME SERVICE.
