      My personal residence has been missed for recycling collection. I called Rumpke to ask if a credit had been issued to my account or to see if they were aware of the missed service. I was told they were not aware of any missed service and was instructed that the only way they were aware of a missed service is by the customer reaching out to their customer service. Rumpke has no problem charging me for service yet there is no accountability on their part or the part of the collection drivers to perform the service. In other words, I am charged for their service regardless of them actually performing the service and it is the problem of the customer to notify them if the service has not been completed. They have no checks and balances process in place to ensure that they are performing the service they are charging customers for. This seems to be toeing the line of fraudulent business activity and is severely concerning to me. Rumpke and their employees need to be aware of the service they are/aren't providing and take accountability when they do not provide the appropriate service and be proactive in providing refunds or resolution when they are unable to provide trash/recycling service.

      This is a trash company bills me even though I do not live at the property, ( this has happen 3 times now.) They send me on the bill (Legal Fee / ********** county) on the bill . there has been no legal action yet. Now they will try to pass the buck to the county. I will be contacting the Governor of the state. I do not live at the address nor use their service. Remove the bill and stop billing me for service I do not use. They think they are so big they can scare me into paying.

      Rumpke’s contract with ********** County Fiscal court states that service is mandatory to all residential and commercial customers in ********** County.  Per the County’s Solid Waste Ordinance as it pertains to the mandatory participation of all residents and commercial entities as outlined in House Bill 174. 

      Therefore, Rumpke cannot discontinue the service at *** ************* request.  We would suggest that *** ************ contacts ********** County Fiscal Court to discuss options with the County.

      We are a commercial customer on autopay with a credit card on file for trash service. On 12/19/2024, we were billed $314.36, which included a charge of approx. $165 for an extra dumpster pickup that was never completed. We had called multiple times requesting the pickup, but it was never done. After over a week with no service—and with our regular pickup scheduled the next day—we called again and canceled the extra pickup. Despite this, the charge remained. We called Rumpke’s 800 number, but were unable to get the issue resolved, so we had to escalate the matter to a local representative just to get a response. No other invoice was received until 2/5/2025, showing a balance of $135.65. A later 4/1/2025 invoice showed: $138.11 current, $136.01 over 30, $135.65 over 60, and a $68.33 credit over 90 days—but the credit was never applied to reduce our current balance. We believe this credit may be the remainder of the $165 charge, which should have been applied to our account, but appears to have been mishandled in their billing system. We have contacted the company multiple times by phone and email requesting a full itemized breakdown of charges, credits, and payments. We received no clear explanation, and email attempts have not resulted in any actual assistance or resolution. In April 2025, we made an additional payment on an amount Rumpke claimed autopay hadn’t covered, despite no notice of failed payment. We have since received collection calls and letters threatening service interruption. One agent even offered to transfer us to cancellation when we requested billing corrections. We previously raised concerns over bi-monthly rate increases, and the rate was temporarily reduced after our complaint. However, it was raised again without notice, which violates the contract's requirement for rate-change notification. We want the billing corrected, our rate reviewed and adjusted, and the terms of our contract properly followed.

      Rumpke did not pick up my trash or bulk waste as scheduled. There was nothing in the way to keep them from removing or picking up trash. I live between two houses. My ring doorbell shows them drive by 4 times without picking it up. They picked up neighbors trash on both sides of me but slipped my address and this is not the first time. When this happens I have to continuously call to telling them over and over to pick up the items, by the time they pick up, it’s now time for the next schedule pick up. My city gives us a citation if our trash cans are still on the curb over the weekend regardless if trash is picked up or not. This has gained multiple times.

      I canceled my service with Rumpke on 3/12/2025 because they had missed the majority of my pickups for the year and it has been an ongoing problem for the 5 years of service with them. They still owed me a credit of $29.32 because it is a pro rated bill. I asked them to cancel my service and credit my bank account the money due. The following week I was actually charged in the next billing cycle because they neglected to tell me that canceling my service didnt cancel my autopay that i had set with them I called back, they issued a credit for the $76.27. After 10 days the money was not deposited so i reached out again and was told the money was on a check that had been sent. on 4/10 I received a check for the $76.27 only. I reached back out and they said that it was coming on a second check. I have called now 3 times since last week and they just keep telling me that the credit was requested and they are waiting on billing to release the payment but they cant reach billing nor will they allow me to speak with someone.

      I have had trash service through rumkpe for 8 years. Several times a month I have to call for return service. Recently they have refused to pick up my trash. I have contacted them several time the last 2 weeks to return to pick up my trash. I was informed the second phone call that they refuse to pick my trash up because their truck is too big to fit down my road now. Apparently they have purchased new vehicles that cannot fit down roads that they are contracted to service. They failed to reach out or send notification that I would need to change the placement of my trash can. Instead they waited until I made the second phone call for my trash to be serviced to inform me that I now have to put my trash can on one of two different streets, which would be on another persons property. I told them I would not put my trash can on another street because that is not where I was original told to put my can. They refuse to service my trash and have only offered to put credits towards my account. They do have a truck that will fit down my road but will not use it to service my trash, per operations.

Currently, we are working with *** *********, the county, and our operations team, on deciding the best location to place her trash. We are hopeful of reaching a mutually agreed upon solution soon.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, reasons for rejection are included below.



      I am rejecting Rumpke’s respond due to them not offering a valid solution. They have offered handicap services (which would not be needed if they had not purchased service vehicles that are too large for their contracted routes) which would initially RAISE my monthly bill from $21.86 to $38.24, which is paid quarterly. They are claiming that ********** ** is the reasoning for this change. I feel that I am being discriminated against due to my inability to accommodate their needs. I have also been lied to, manipulated and coerced into believing they a providing solutions that are in my best interest. In the last two months I have called twelve days, numerous times a day. They have only initiated contact with me by phone twice and by email, upon request, once. The two times they initiated a phone call, they contacted the wrong number. After several phone calls that I have initiated they finally informed me that they refunded my account $53.81 for TEN missed services. I am disappointed and overwhelmed at the efforts I have had to personally put into this matter and the lack of solutions they have provided.

      I pay for yard waste service alo gsode my regular weekly trash pick up. However, Rumpke won't pick up my yard waste without me having to call in every week about it. So far I have called on 3/18, 3/25, 4/1, 4/7 to complain. Everytime I reach out, the agent confirms my pickup day is Tuesday, that I have a valid service, and then claims to flag the address to ensure collection. I'm told they'll put alerts on the account, that the Operations Manager will be informed and will resolve the issue, yet nothing ever changes. Today, April 15 is my next pickup day. The bin has been out since April 7th and has not been collected. As access also isn't an issue as my regular trash can sits next to it and is picked up without issue. I have emailed customer service, only to be told yet again that the Operations Manager will get this resolved. But that's what I've been told since 3/18/25. I just want the service I pay for without having to jump through all these extra hoops for no reason.

      On 3/24/25 Rumpke delivered a recycling cart to my address in error. I have now contacted them 3 times to get it removed. I called again today, 4/9/25, and they said someone came out on 4/7/25 to remove it but didn't see it. The recycling cart has been in the same spot at the end of the driveway since 3/24/25 with a note on it for them to remove it. The first time I called about it on 3/24/25 I was told a request to remove it had been put in. When I called back 10 days later, I was told there was no request to remove it, but a request was then put in at that time. It's now been 2.5 weeks and it's still sitting at the end of my driveway.
