      Got a dumpster service for my shop through Kimble . It was set up for twice a month . It’s been 40 days and only picked up once but they billed me for an entire month . Also called in and scheduled them to come out because they missed the 1st pickup but then preceded to wait 3 weeks to pick it up I assume because they never came back . Have pictures of emails stating they missed pickup as well from there employee . Also if they are saying they picket up any other times ask them time and date because I have cameras up at my shop and I can pull that date and time stamp up and provide that as well they they have only come 1time .

      Kimble neglected to pick up our garbage last week. We called the company on two separate occasions and were told each time a special pick up was in route and our garbage would be picked up. This was untrue. Kimble actually called us this past Saturday and told us that a special truck was being sent to get our missed garbage but it never arrived. On the call that I made today I told the Kimble representative that I wanted a credit for the missed garbage pick up. The representative told me that it wouldn't be necessary because a truck was in route to pick up our missed garbage once again. This was untrue. We feel that the representatives told us the same story each time we called to get us off the phone. It is completely unprofessional for a business to treat a customer in this way especially a senior citizen. No company should charge you for a service that you did not receive. Kimble owes us a credit and a sincere apology for their actions. I would also hope the company would re-train their representatives to show a little respect to a customer in need of help.

      I stopped using Kimble Company for my trash collection at the end of October 2024. It is now April 2025 and I am still waiting for them to pick up their trash cans. When I stopped my service they said that the cans must be visible from the street when they came to pick them up or they would charge me $100. My cans have been sitting for 6 months waiting. I have called many times. I did receive on email on March 18 saying they would pick up in the next 5 days. Well it’s been over a month. Several times when I called they assured me this had been escalated to a supervisor. I was even told they would call me back. No such luck. I want the cans picked up ASAP.

      We went through Kimble for trash collection. Multiple instances they would not pick up our garbage even though we were current on the bill. They refused to credit our bill or to come and pick the garbage up. Then when they would finally pick up our trash they would bill us extra for the extra bags we had because they refused to provide the service we paid for. We are not the only ones this happened to and it's happened the entire time we went through Kimble. Our neighbors have had the same problems. This was not an isolated incident. This happened over and over again. Even if nothing can be done for us this needs some kind of an investigation to see how wide spread this is and why it's happening so frequently and to so many homes. Are they trying to provide service to more homes than they can actually provide? Or are they intentionally scamming people?

      Business Response

      Date: 03/13/2025

      Please contact Kimble due to the status of your account.  After further review of your account, service has been cancelled since August 1, 2024.  Multiple invoices and letters have been sent over this same time period with no further communication from the account holder. The last time we spoke regarding the account was January 31, 2024.  Although it looks as though the account holder has logged into their online account to view the account several times since 2/16/24.  This will show the account balance and account status. The service issues you are reporting is not reflective of the services provided prior to August 1, 2024, so possibly you are referring to the trash hauler you currently have.  Please contact Kimble Customer Service if you have any further questions.  *************** **** *****  Thank you

      I cancelled my service with Kimble and was told to leave empty receptacle outside and visible from the street back in December, 2024. I placed receptacle in front of my third car garage door and it is clearly visible from the street. They have still not picked it up as of today, February 17, 2025! I have made numerous phone calls to their customer service and have been told “it’s on the schedule to be picked up”…on February 9, 2025 received email notification that it was being picked up within 2 business days…AGAIN, it’s February, 17, 2025 and it still hasn’t been picked up. I’ve even taken pics of it every day from the street so they cannot say they came by and it wasn’t there to be picked up!

      Today on 02.17.2025 my son and I witnessed Kimble’s come up our hill take our neighbors trash. Left his trash can. Then came down put our trash can in the back and destroyed our trash can and with the weather we’ve been having said that our trash can (only trash can on our road) got stuck in the back of the truck and he pulled away. Tried to tell us it’s in their policy that they will not replace a trash can THEY destroyed. Which I cannot find in their policy at all. Recently, Kimbles told us we had to pay $100 for a trash can that was on our property during an accidental fire that burnt up our truck as well. We told them we agreed to pay the trash can when we got our taxes and we gave them an estimated date, they agreed to have our trash picked up. Our trash was not picked up for three weeks. When I finally called they finally done their job and put it in the system that our trash would be picked up and we had to now at this time pay a late fee for our trash. This is not the first time they’ve done this to us and messed with us like this. We’d like to file a complaint due to Kimbles now ruining our personal trash can and not replacing it after deliberately destroying our trash can. I have a picture of my trash can before they took it off my property as well. As well as a video I can provide of them just passing my house and not picking up my trash after they agreed to pick up my trash.

      I’ve been trying to get my trash cans picked up for almost 3 1/2 months. After several phone calls and emails, was told it would be 4 to 6 weeks. After the six week mark I was in touch with them several times and the last time they responded they said they were going to get in touch with the supervisor. Never called back after that. I tried to email again and ask if there was any updates and no response. Responded one more time and asked for a supervisors phone number or email address but I got no response from them. I told them i was going to get rid of them if they didn’t come get them and was told they would charge me $200 dollars if I did. The cans Have been sitting at the end of my driveway and I’m getting very frustrated! Terrible customer service!

      Kimble Companies refuses to refund 3 months of payment.

      On Jan. 17 we paid ************* for 3 months - $63.

      January 23 we received a combined letter from Kimble/Stonebarker stating Kimble had acquired Stonebraker Refuse effective Feb. 1.

      We called Kimble and requested a refund as we do not want to remain a customer and were told they would send our request on and would call back. We clearly stated we did not want to be a Kimble customer.

      We contacted a local refuse collection company and enrolled.

      Kimble did not call back on Jan. 24.

      On Monday, Jan. 27, we tried to place another call. After listening to hold music and messages for 6 minutes, we sent an email to request our refund.

      On Tuesday, Jan. 28, we received a voice message on our landline saying there would be no refund and we would remain Kimble customers until the end of April, at which point we could cancel services.

      On Jan. 29, we called and requested a refund explaining that our "quarter" had not started until Feb. 1, we had enrolled with another company, we had not signed any contract with Kimble, and we requested our refund. The agent said she could see our quarter hadn't started and thought that we could get our money refunded. She would forward our request on and call back if it was any different.

      We did not receive a call back. We emailed requesting a reason in writing.

      We received an email on Jan. 31 stating they cannot give a refund in the middle of a quarter. (Again, our quarter did not begin until Feb. 1.) Also they said something to the effect that they had been entrusted to take care of customers and continue services.

      We are "on the hook" with Kimble holding our payment. We do not want to be Kimble customers as we have enrolled and paid for services from a local vendor that lives in the same rural area as we do.

      We spoke with a few neighbors that are also retired senior citizens, as we are, and they also were refused a refund.

      Thank you for the information.  We are working with Stonebraker Refuse on getting all of the information gathered, refunds processed, etc.  We just purchased the company a few weeks ago.  Refunds generally take 4 - 6 weeks for processing.  We will reach out when everything has been resolved.  Thank you!
