A little afraid to say this...

So many people are ripping GFL a new one.  Trash doesn't get picked up weekly, customer service sucks, they charge you $50 to pick up their bins when you cancel services.

What's super weird is that I have experienced NONE of this.  Our trash and recycling always gets picked up on trash day without fail (unless the roads are impassable), customer service has been decent the few times I've had to call, and they credit my payment on time every month.  

Mind you, I'm not saying that any of the other people are liars or exaggerating the situation.  I just wonder why my neighborhood has no issues.

And of course, now that I've said this, my trash won't get picked up next week (they just took it today while I was watching).

Cursed yourself.

They have been a day late picking up here for the last 4 weeks and Friday's trash is still sitting out there. Bill has gone up 3 times since we started with them (in the beginning they went sometimes 2 weeks wihout coming) and I've never been a minute late paying them. This is our last month and they can eat my shorts if they think I'm paying 50 bucks for them to come get the can. Not. Gon. Happen.

It took them 8 months to retrieve the bin after I cancelled them!  And I didn’t pay.

Oh shit. I'm in trouble now....

I called Davis yesterday for a quote- $25.50 a month for 1 day a week. GFL is 34.50 as of the last bill. Davis has a sterling reputation as well.

The dump is like 5 minutes from here. I have never had trash service in my life until we moved into this house. Even when I was first married, I took it to the dump in PW (Independent Hill) and/or the one down in Lorton. Might go back to taking it myself for a while as a money saving effort and if it turns out to be a problem, will call Davis.
