I had a ton of bags at the street and someone parked right in front of them so when the trash truck came they didn't grab them. Well, about an hour or so went by after that vehicle left and the trash guys must have doubled back because all of those bags were gone. Great experience so far!

Have never had a single complaint with our service with Waste Management. Today I forgot to put ours out and the guy jumped out and pulled it over to the truck for us. They wouldn’t know, but it’s been a rough week, and the little things mean a lot!
