      Waste Pro processed the refund and mailed the check on January 3, 2025.  She should receive the check this week if she has not already.  Apparently there was some confusion with the check request but that was corrected and the check was processed.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

      I am rejecting this response because: I have been told several times that a check has been mailed. It is being mailed from ********, Florida to **************************************** address. I have received no check. I understand that the ***************** is not as reliable as in year's past, however, I don't believe that it takes more than 10 postal delivery days to get from ******** to *************. (this time they are staying a check was mailed on January 3rd and it is now January 14th)

      I have asked repeatedly for an overnight delivery of my refund check as I was first told a check was mailed on December 10th by ***** ******** in **************** when I spoke with him on December 11th. That check never arrived either. 

      Sincerely,

      ******* *******

      Good morning, 

      I am still waiting for the latest refund check that they have stated they mailed to me from ********, Florida. They stated it was mailed on January 3rd per their response. The initial check I was told was mailed on December 10th and that one never arrived either. 

      Can my refund be sent some other way that the ***************** since that does not seem to be working? 

      Thank you--

      Apparently a wrong address was used to send payment and a new check has been cut and sent out via Fed ex track number 7717 2083 7517 to the address she provided to our Accounting department.  She should receive it by tomorrow.  We apologize for the inconvenience.  Thank you.

      Waste Pro sent me a bill for $847.92 today. I canceled their service last year in July (2024). When canceling I asked if there was anything further I needed to do to cancel and was told no. My account with them was paid in full and time I ended contract.Why am I being sent this bill when I canceled their services and have a different trash company that I have paid?This bill is incorrect. Also, there was no way to contact the company as they are closed outside my work hours and voicemail is full. No email is provided to contact them.

      I don't use the company and i didn't sign up for there service but they sent me a bill. I do not even have a trash bin from them. I use a completely different company. When i try to call them using the number on the bill727-452-5278 to resolve the issue it just hangs up on me. I have also attached a picture of the company that i do use as proof. I can't also provide billing statements showing that i use another company for a long time.

      ************ did not renew their contract with Waste Pro trash services for the upcoming year. In August 2024 I was billed for the remainder of the year through Dec. 31st. The bill was paid. Waste Pro quit picking up our trash in mid Dec. They did not pick up recycling after Dec. 11th and trash after Dec. 18th. I called 3 times to get my trash serviced before our contract ended on the Dec. 31st. I was told they would send a truck and that never happened. It is now Jan. 4 and my trash still hasnt been picked up. I have requested a refund on Waste Pros website with no resolve. I have called the Asheville city manager also. I would like to be refunded for the services I did not receive from Waste Pro in December.

      Complaint: 22767207

      I am rejecting this response because: First of all, I am not a male, so I am not sure who you are referring to when you stated you called him twice. My name is ***** ***** and no one has called me-

      ********** - ***** *****
      ****************
      *********, NC 288038604


      My account has not been credited either. I no longer have an account with ********************** due to the fact that the contract ended in Dec. 2024. This bill was paid in August (8/2/24 for $94.64) with no credit given. I would however like a refund for the weeks that I did not receive service in December, after I paid for those services ahead of time.

      Basic details:*12/16 was my recycling day. They did not pick up the recycling, though they picked up the trash.*I called daily to request my recycling be picked up. Each time I was told they would pick it up either that date by 7pm or the next day. It was never picked up, necessitating repeated calls, waiting in their phone cue, to report this and only for them to repeat that it would be picked up. As of 12/27/24 it has still not been picked up.*During one of my calls on Friday 12/20 I was told that the recycling truck would not come and get it. However, I was instructed to be sure the recycling bin was at the street on Monday when my normal trash pick up is. I was told it would be picked up by the regular trash (rather than recycling) truck. It has not been picked up (though my trash was) as of 12/27.*At no time was there an apology from the customer service **** nor any commentary that provided any confidence in a resolution (which is backed up by the recycling still sitting at the street as I type this).What I want:1) The recycling picked up. Because it's full and our next recycling pick up is forthcoming they need to be willing to pick up twice the amount. This will require that some of my recycling is placed on the ground because the bin is full.2) I want a statement credit to account for a) the length of time the recycling has remained at the street and b) the amount of time I've had to take to repeatedly call and wait in their phone cue.

      chronic problems, Waste Pro avoiding picking up yard recycles in my ***** ZIP Code area! I addressed the issue and this is not concerning the holiday schedule. This is beyond the holiday schedule. This is consistent with their business practices of avoiding picking your recycles up! I have asked them to have a 2nd yard recycle bin free of charge because I have other things that need to be filled up in there and they are cause me delays and I clean up efforts!

      This complaint was about a yard waste container that is up to the resident to provide, he must have called customer service and was told we dont supply the containers.  He has an old  yard waste cart that was left from the previous contract, ***** went to house no one was home  and left a waste pro cart for yard waste. 

      This has been resolved we just have not spoken to the resident yet.

      Last two times they were scheduled to pick up our recycling, both times they picked up the trash and recycling and put it in the same truck. What's the point of separating the recycling out if you're just going to put it in the same truck as all the other trash?

      Business Response

      Date: 01/02/2025

      Close out the contract has ended . We were removing all containers per the County and the county is the one whom negotiated us picking them up at same time so the new company and Waste Pro could pick up and deliver carts in a timely fashion . No billing adjustment necessary.

      Our new restaurant has been open for two months now. The Recycling Bin has never been picked up. We have called multiple times a week. We have spoken to ***** and ******* each time. We have been told each time that they will let management know. It has been a total of 8 weeks now since we first notified them. I understand that they no longer service this area, but they need to remove their bin. The bugs are out of control and putting our business at risk.

      Waste Pro is our only provider of waste collection here in *********, **. We moved into our rental home in October of this year. Service was started and we were required to pay the whole quarter up front and in full. Service is supposed to pick up on Mondays. The first Monday comes around and they didn't pickup, which we assumed was because it was a new addition and they forgot. We didn't have much trash so it wasn't a big deal. The second week rolls around and they didn't pick up again. I called them and they said they must have just missed the pickup but would pick up that same day (Tuesday) to which I told them I couldn't get the trash out and they need to come tomorrow. They said they couldn't come Wednesday and we'll have to wait until the following Monday. The following Monday comes and goes with no pick up. My partner calls them and they say the same thing as last time. Fortunately she was able to get the trash out and they picked it up on Tuesday. Its been since that day, Oct. 29th that out trash has been picked up. I've called numerous times and they always say the same thing. They say they will send it to dispatch and they never come. It doesn't help that their contract hasn't been renewed by the county so they have no reason to care about their service. We are literally overflowing with trash and cannot get anyone to come pick it up. This is made worse by the fact we were significantly affected by hurricane ****** and must drink from gallon jugs which causes lots of recycling waste.
