I scheduled buk pick on 11/10/22 between 6am and 6pm, however no one came to pickup the items. Next day I called and I was advised that it got rescheduled to 11/12/22 between 6am to 6pm. Again, I rolled out my bulky items and items were not picked up. I would like to know why this keeps happening.Business Response

I have previously filed a complaint in reference to the same situation. The complaint begins with the refuse pick up truck leaks oil and liquid refuse. I have made several calls each time I have to make several attempts to have someone respond to clean up the spills. In the previous complaint response the company said that they sent a cleaning crew within 24 hours which is not accurate. On 10/25/2022 my mother called to request that a cleaning crew be dispatched to clean another spill and was told that one would be here in 24 hours and again it did not happen. I attempted to call today 10/31/2022, I was on hold for more than 30 minutes several time and I was told that individuals in upper management were on lines and could not take the call and that I would have to wait. This is an ongoing issue and the company does not seem to care about their customer's concerns.Initial Complaint

For over a month I keep calling to get my trashed picked up. Every time I call all the say is sorry we will pick up the next day and cannot provide an explanation on why they are not coming they day they are supposed to. My pick up day is every Friday I take out my trash at 5:00 am before going to work and it still does not get picked up. I see other houses on my block do get there trash picked up on Friday but my house gets skipped and I have not missed a payment. I want this issue to be resolved already and not have to keep calling every week.Business Response

****** is having a problem with CR&R's very poor service? The schedule you a day of the week to pick up your trash and they may just pick it up once a month. They are quick to charge, take your money but they're service is very poor. I'm willing to pick up a trash bag from every paying resident in my town and dumping it off in front of their gates to prove a point. I don't care if I get arrested for littering. Effem... Enough is enough when We've tried over and over to do the right thing. Most will say just change companies but there's a thing called integrity! They as they please.Business Response

Their problem is not only in ****** they are attempting to cover the sun with a finger. I posted my problem on ******** and it turns out it's Valley wide from *********, ******, *********, Heber, Westmoreland, Paloverde and wherever their service extends. They are inconsistent, unreliable, liars, rude and they'll take your money quick but their service is very poor. When we hired them our deal was 1 day a week for $50 a month and they will only show up once or twice a week so how or when do I get reimbursed for the days they don't show up.

Over the past few months CR&R has missed our trash pickup at least 5 times. We started keeping track in June. They didn't pick up on the scheduled day the week of June 13, July 4, July 25, August 1 and August 8. When we called the first few times we were told someone would come pick up the trash the next day. A couple times it was picked up, but not always, and if it was it was days later. We were also told we would get a credit on our bill. Never happened. On one occasion one of the girls from work called and was told we'd never get a credit. When asked to speak to management, we were told there was no one to talk to. I myself submitted a request to have someone from management call me and never received a call. We are a veterinary office, therefore we have medical refuse. We can't have that refuse spilling out onto the ground. We pay $160/month to have our trash picked up. When they don't come I still pay for that service. Last time when I called in I was told the drivers were all new and they didn't know the routes. I was understanding about that. I asked that they send someone back out to pick up the trash that day since now they were aware it hadn't been. They promised it would get picked up. Didn't happen. The recycling gets picked up so there's obviously not an issue with accessibility. How many times do I have to call? Where is management in all this?Business Response

I requested an organics waste container in May 2022. Since then, its been picked up 4 times in 4 months. In order to get it picked up, Ive had to call daily. When I dont call, it doesnt get picked up. I am the only one in my neighborhood with a container. Isnt there a requirement that my trash company pick up all the organic waste of the whole city? How is CR&R not working to comply with this new regulation?Business Response

Per BBB guidelines, CR&R is replying to this customer complaint:
A ******** Service Supervisor contacted the customer on 9/26/22 to discuss the issues with the organics cart being missed. After investigation, it was determined that the street that this customer lives on is exempt from organics service. A cart was delivered to them in error back in May of 2022. Arrangements have been made to remove the cart on Thursday, 9/29/22. The customer was satisfied with this resolution and was thankful for the call. No further action is required.
