Continuous harassing phone calls trying to get me to discuss details of the accident.


Were they from their internal legal department? Can you believe a trash company has an internal legal department? Must have something to do with how they treat people. Big Grin

Commercial dumpster service too?

It's not uncommon to see that for residential service in this area. It does make sense to some extent. The municipality is supposed to get you the best price and then only one company is running trucks through all of the residential streets.

I avoid using them as much as I can. Some of my clients have national accounts with them and they seem to get ok service but but the smaller jobs get double billed or no pick up.

Same situation with me to a T. Then they got me in a new contract by bringing a new dumpster and having an employee of mine sign that they delivered it. In there was Another year contract. I fought that, won, told them to come get their dumpster. I'll start my own dumpster company before I use them again.

Had a similar experience. Tried to switch to a new company, discovered that contract had been renewed similar to above. I had my employees drag their dumpster to a corner, chained it shut, called them to pick it up and sue me.

Sounds to me like the mob really is still involved in waste management; if they are harrassing witnesses and such...

Charging for everything possible is not a new tactic > lawyers invented and perfected it with line item charging for everything from a postage stamp to mail you anything and a charge per page for receiving or sending a fax and so on and so on. Mad

Nearly a year now that I've deemed my garbage unworthy of their management.

I've driven my own trash to the dump for a year spending about $2 a week. Fuggem' My garbage is not worthy of their service.

I knew of a guy that got $1 million out of a nightclub and got away alive and without being prosecuted.

WM probably didn't prosecute your guy because they learned how to scale up his behavior and keep the money for themselves.

WM bought them a few years ago. ABout 6 months after they bought EDS our trash service basically doubled in 4 months. I canned them and got another local company,


Same in Nashville. WM continues to buy out small local companies & increase the rates. Only 2 or 3 locals are left.
