  Garbage truck driver intentionally left our trash bin without picking it up on Tuesday April 8th, 2025.I contacted CR&R customer service every day since then and was promised that driver would come back by 6 pm to pick it up. I talked to several people including *** and **** (supervisors i was told) and they all kept on promising the trash would be picked up by 6 pm. All lies and intentional customer deceiving ************* another person told me that they would not come by until next trash day on Tuesday 04/15/2025.Fraudulent actions by deceptively charging fees for trash pickup and then not following through with the paid for service.

  Per BBB guidelines, CR&R is replying to this customer complaint:

  Upon review of the customer's account, Operations sent a driver out immediately to service them on Friday, 4/11/25. After arriving, the driver noticed that this customer had placed their own unapproved trash can outside to have it serviced along with the CR&R approved cart. CR&R is only able to service approved carts. As a one-time courtesy the driver did empty the customer's personal cart. CR&R will not be able to service that personal cart going forward. A **************** Supervisor left a voicemail for the customer to inform him that all waste was recovered and that we would only service the CR&R approved carts in the future. If the customer has any further inquiries, we encourage him to call our **************** team for assistance. This matter is now closed.

  I want the company to respond to my complaint.This trash pick up service is terrible. They dropped of new trash cans at my location but did not pick up the old cans on *********. I now have a ridiculous 6 cans! I scheduled them to pick up my cans for 27MAR2025 and they did not pick them up! I labeled my cans for pick up to help the trash guys ID the cans for pick up. I scheduled them again to pick up my cans for 10APR2025 and they did not pick them up again! How many times do I need to contact them to pick up these stupid unwanted excess old trash cans? I never ordered the new cans either, everyone on my block including myself just gets new cans without notice. Terrible *****************

  CR&R did not empty my recycling container on March 17, 2025. There is an ongoing issue with this company not emptying my trash containers. My last BBB complaint was October 2025. My organics container was never emptied. I was told to leave it out and it wasn't emptied until 7 days later. Cr&r denied any wrong doing to the BBB on that issue and I never received any billing adjustment on my bill. Now it has happened again.BBB wasn't able to get the last issue resolved and I don't know what will happen this time, but I want to make sure that that I report this company that I'm paying for a service that is not being completed.

  Business Response

  In accordance to BBB policy, CR&R is responding to this complaint:

  CR&R customer service received the customer's inquiry on Tuesday 3/18/25 regarding their recycle cart not being serviced the day prior. CR&R scheduled a return service for the same day, and CR&R's driver did not report any issues with the service. The work order was marked as complete. Previous complaints submitted to BBB by this customer have already been handled and closed. CR&R encourages this customer to place their carts out for service between the operating hours of 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. to ensure service is completed each week. CR&R thanks this customer for their patience and understanding.

  Contacted CR&R on 1/29/25 regarding my missed trash, they promised a driver on Thurs 1/30 that driver never show up. Called Friday 1/31, was told a driver would show up, still nothing. Called the same day Friday and was told the driver was not able to make it, as if the driver was the owner and made his own schedule. We were told our trash would not be picked up until Wed 2/5 which is our normal scheduleday. My bin was already full, and they expect it to be overfilled by wed 2/5, but they "promised" the driver would get out of his truck and pick up the additional bags, I guess we'll see if he really does. So disapointed and I feel they are retaliating against me for complaining. I want them to fulfill their service but since they cannot I want an apology and a credit in my bill since they are refusing to pick up and fulfill a service I am paying for. I have read lots of reviews regarding this company and I really hope they are listening to the hundreds of reviews from customers who are fed up with subpar service.

  Business Response

  Date: 02/04/2025

  Per BBB guidelines, CR&R is replying to this customer complaint:

  CR&R was made aware of the reported missed service for this customer on 1/31/25. The customer was informed that a driver would return to service, but unforeseen operational challenges prevented that from happening. To assist the customer with recovering the excess waste, our agent offered to have additional bags collected on their next service day (2/5/25). This will be completed per the Route Manager. Historically, this customer has not called often to report that services were missed, but CR&R will monitor to ensure that waste is collected in a timely manner each week. CR&R appreciates the patience and understanding of this loyal customer as the issues are resolved.

  CC&R neglected to send a statement last month. They also neglected to send a notification of a missed payment before stopping our trash pick up service without warning. I have called and the customer service agent acknowledged that no such notification was sent despite this being their policy and that they could not pick up trash until next week with no refund of the missed service. All payments for service have been received. This is a violation of the utility trash service policy to provide notification of missed payment before terminating or stopping service. We would like a refund for the missed service week. We have never missed a single payment in the 12 years we have been with ******** until this past October when we never received the bill. Again there was never any sort of notification of a missed payment or an attempt to request a missed payment before they simply terminated our service this week.

  Business Response

  Per the BBB guidelines, CR&R is replying to this customer complaint:

  It was discovered recently that this customer's account was affected by a billing error in which an invoice was not generated for services in the 4th quarter of 2024. As a result, the customer's account was incorrectly placed on stop service for a period of 3 weeks. Operations was notified of the error and sent a driver out immediately to recover all waste streams for the customer's property. In addition, upper management contacted the customer to apologize for the billing error and a credit was applied to the account for the time period in which they did not receive service. On behalf of ********, we apologize to this loyal customer for the inconvenience that this caused. Going forward, CR&R will do our best to ensure that this customer receives their invoicing in a timely manner and that waste collection services are rendered efficiently.

  Address: ******************************************* In October, I rented a small dumpster from CR&R for $168.44, this payment was charged to my *********** MasterCard ending in 6300 on October 24th, 2024.Upon filling the dumpster I realized I needed a second, so I had the initial dumpster exchanged for a second of the same type for an additional $168.44 which was charged to the same Mastercard on October 26th, 2024. That dumpster was later picked up, with two charges of $168.44 as expected on my card.There was no issue until one month later on November 26th, 2024, at which point I was charged on the same card for a 3rd time, another $168.44.I have talked to CR&R **************** multiple times with no resolution, and with different explanations for the 3rd charge.The first time I called CR&R customer service I was told that the payment for the 2nd dumpster did not go through, and that the failed charge was listed under a **** rather than my Mastercard. The representative blamed my credit card company (***********) who later confirmed to me that both my first and 2nd payment did in fact go through, *********** advised me to issue a chargeback for the 3rd charge which I did not do. Both payments on October 24th and October 26th can be seen on my credit card statement which has been attached.When I called CR&R an additional time, I was informed that both the October 24th & 26th charges for $168.44 did go through, contradicting the first representative, I was then told that it was erroneously listed as a recurring charge despite being a one time rental. I was told that I would later be contacted.Later, upon being contacted by CR&R, they informed me that both the October 24th and 26th payments were paid for, but did not offer any explanation for the 3rd charge on November 26th, they told me that issue would be forwarded to another department. I have not been contacted by CR&R since, and I have paid them $168.44 three times despite only having owed it twice.

  Per BBB guidelines, CR&R Incorporated is responding to this customer complaint:

  After investigation of the customer's account, it was discovered that a system error occurred when collecting payment that caused the payment method to be charged twice. A refund has been submitted back to the original payment method in the amount of $168.44. The customer can expect to see the refund returned to their financial institution within the next few business days. CR&R apologizes for the inconvenience that this has caused the customer and appreciates their patience while this was resolved.

  ****** Environmental services dropped off a 40 yard container. There was some schedule challenges for myself to be on property to allow them access to haul it away. Finally last week I called Monday Tuesday Wednesday to make sure Thursday was confirmed. Thursday was definitely confirmed Thursday afternoon no one's shows up no one calls and I'm told it's now Friday. They never called me to tell me the change of day. Friday comes and goes they don't show up my mother reaches out to them and they now say they'll be on property today they did not show up they did not call they are now saying it's rescheduled for tomorrow I have to drive 108 miles one way to unlock the gate I have to sit on property from roughly 6 AM to 6 PM that's their available time with a half hour window they're going to call to tell me they're going to show up this is horrific. I plan on taking legal action against them and filing complaints wherever I can against them

  In accordance to BBB policy, CR&R is responding to this complaint:

  This customer contacted CR&R on several occasions to confirm the dump and exchange of their rented 40 yard container would be completed on Friday 11/8/24. This service did not occur as scheduled. CR&R acknowledges the customer's grievances and apologizes for any inconveniences and hardships this may have caused as a result of non-service. ******** has filed a complaint on behalf of the customer and is reviewing the matter internally. A CR&R representative has reached out to the customer to process a refund back to the customer's original form of payment. CR&R thanks this customer for their patience and understanding.

  I'm asking for $3,000 , $1,100 credit for original charge for 1st dumpster,  and $1,900 for labor at the property to receive the replacement dumpster and the haul-away of the original filled dumpster.  12 hours each day for 2 men ($50 per hour x 12 = $600 x 3 days = $1,800) plus meals, mileage, costs.  And now to have trash disbursed all over property as a hazard having to rearrange another hauling service to come and remove the trash is an added expense and loss of time. They are being held liable for any damages that occur due to the trash remaining on said property to neighbors, children, animals.

  If i scheduled a pick-up and never showed up to meet CR&R to grant them access to retrieve the dumpster, I am sure I would be charged a service fee.  Especially if I had stood them up 3 times (like they did to me) not to mention the daily charges for having it on property.

  This no show happened three times with CR&R.  

  I am strongly holding them accountable for my three trips to the property that's fuel, time, standby time 6 AM to 6 PM their window of operation to ensure the driver has access and is able to take the bin without incident.

  The company told me to be on property on three different occasions.  I was on property during their required window of operational hours, 6am to 6pm.  To get to this property, I have to drive 108 miles one way.  The company never showed up, the company never called me to tell me they are rescheduling.  The company owes me personally for 648 miles of driving and 36 standby hours.  Forget anyone else, third party mumbo jumbo.  That is what is owed to me personally, I did exactly what the company requested.  They failed not one time but THREE TIMES.  Compensation is owed, they are being held for their negligence.  The company is welcome to call me to negotiate a settlement.  I will not accept "nothing".  This is not negotiable, I stand firm on this one.

  Dear BBB,I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the poor service and lack of accountability demonstrated by CR&R, which has been providing my trash collection services. Over the past two weeks, my trash bin has not been collected on the scheduled dates, despite numerous requests and assurances from CR&Rs staff.1.Incident Timeline:First Incident: My trash was not collected on October *****. I had to make two phone calls to have my trash bin finally emptied.Second Incident: From October *****, I called CR&R daily to request collection, with each call reportedly escalated to higher-level staff. Despite these efforts, my trash bin remains uncollected as of today, October 26.2.Unresolved Issue: During these calls, I spoke with Supervisors **** and ******, who both assured me that a truck would be dispatched to address the issue. However, despite their assurances, no action has been taken, and my trash bin remains full. This has led to significant household disruption as I am unable to dispose of my waste.3.Account Standing: I confirm that my account is in good standing, and there are no violations or restrictions regarding my bin. Therefore, this lack of service is in breach of our agreement and the service I am paying for with CR&R.4.Accountability: Although CR&R has acknowledged a system glitch as the cause of this issue, this explanation does not excuse the lack of resolution. I was misled on multiple occasions regarding the status of my request, with repeated promises of resolution that were not honored.This experience demonstrates a concerning lack of integrity and accountability in CR&Rs handling of customer service requests. I am requesting that the BBB assist in holding CR&R accountable for this unacceptable service failure.Thank you for your attention to this *********** regards,******* ****

  The trash service for the property we have rented at for thirty two years is CR&R.There are 10 separate family units on the property whom which the trash pick up has been arranged by the property management. The pick up is twice a week. This is all fine and good.However, for atleast two years the dump truck leaks in front of our property in the street, from the undercarriage. It amounts to a bucket of foul smelling liquid, to as bad as a wheel barrel full of clumps of god knows what. The traffic drives through it unknowingly and drags its down the street.The company has been called multiple times. They do not care. They claim we are disposing the wrong waste.The drivers are embarrassed and ask that we pursue a resolve. Today, when I spoke to them, they said the truck also leaks oil and anti freeze with gas fumes as well.They told me their union can not do anything for them.If nothing else, this is an extreme health hazard.
