Here are a few of the most frequent questions we receive:

  • “Why is my bill so high this month?”

  • “My invoice looks incorrect- what should I do?”

  • “I think I was double charged or double billed.”

  • “I made a payment, but it looks like it didn’t go through.”

  • “My bill is wrong – how can I fix it?”

  • “Where is my refund?”

What You Can Check First

Before submitting a support request, we recommend logging in to your My WM account to review your billing details. Here’s what to look for:

  • Invoice History: Compare current and past invoices to spot changes.

  • Fuel/Environmental Charges: These may fluctuate based on national fuel prices.

  • Extra Services or Pickups: Charges for bulk items or additional pickups may appear.

  • Partial Payments: If your last payment didn’t cover the full balance, the remainder rolls over.

  • Service Agreement Adjustments: Some plans include scheduled rate adjustments or annual price increases.

  • Local Fees or Taxes: These can vary by location and may change periodically.

Your My WM account also lets you:

  • Download and review invoices

  • Pay your bill online

  • Update payment methods

  • Enroll in AutoPay and Paperless Billing

  • View your billing history and current balance

Refund Guidelines

We understand that billing issues can sometimes result in overpayments or incorrect charges. Refunds are considered in the following scenarios:

  • Duplicate payments or double billing

  • Incorrect charges due to service errors

  • Payments applied to the wrong account

Refunds are typically processed within 7–10 business days once approved. Please note that refund eligibility is determined after a thorough review by our Customer Service team.

If you are requesting a specific refund, please submit a support request through the "Request Help" button below. Our team will investigate and follow up with you directly.
