I contacted Republic Services to pick up an old wooden desk, an old door and some scrap lumber on Tues. 9/3/2013. I was told that any scrap lumber would have to be less than 6 ft. in length and weigh less than 40 lbs. I explained to Chris it was old plywood, and miscellaneous 4x4 and 2x6 lumber. She said that would be fine and they would pick it up on Thurs. 9/12/13. Nothing was said about and quot;bundlingand quot; it. I made sure all the lumber was cut to 5ft. or less. When they came out the and quot;manand quot; got out of the truck, looked at the stack and got back in the truck and left. I called Republic at that time and was told not to worry and quot;they run until 5 or 6 o'clock and they had not heard about any problems with the stackand quot;. When I arrived home from work at 8pm I was dismayed to find the stack still there. I called Republic and left a message to return my call. They returned my call the following morning at approximately 8:30am and informed me that the wood needed to be and quot;bundledand quot; with tape or rope or string. I asked him how to tie string around plywood and 4ft. lengths of 4x4's to which he did not have an answer. All he could say was they have regulations that have to be followed. He was EXTREMELY RUDE and was unwilling to listen to my complaints by talking over me the whole time I was trying to make a point. Republic Services has a contract with the City of Toledo therefore they are not interested in anything the residents have to say. If I was going to contract with a waste disposal company it would certainly NOT be with REPUBLIC SERVICES,INC.

They do a very reliable service and they're doing a good job. If they weren't able to pick the trash or the garbage on their schedule, they would surely come the following day. They also do recycling service.
Description of Work: Republic Services Inc. had been collecting our garbage and trash for 12 years. They were here this morning to pick the garbage bin.
