    My recycling was missed but not the garbage. I always place it out the night before which I did before Labor Day. I called and informed it was missed and they asked if I forgot to put it out. I did not as my garbage was clearly empty. My reschedule pick up came two days later which was fine, but I found a note stating it needs to be out before 6am for pick up. Again, it was not on my account that it was missed and if it was I’d willingly wait for the following week as it would’ve been my fault. This, however, was not.

    Our house has been skipped multiple times while other homes on the street have had theirs picked up. This is INSANE considering trash only gets picked up every 2 weeks. Because of this, our garbage is overflowing. It’s embarrassing. This is why Portland is such a disgusting dirty city. Other major cities have their garbage picked up daily, yet we can’t even swing once a week here. It’s ridiculous. I can’t wait to move out of this city so I don’t have to bother with this company again.

    (residential customer) consistent and reliable service, good customer service. put out motor oil this morning and they picked it up as expected. glad they don't pick up neighbors' recycling when they are entirely full w/ trash, though i think an oops tag/note would help reinforce why it wasn't collected.

    Today, your employee picked up our recycling bins. In the process, he was in too much of a hurry and proceeded in scattering our decorative rocks on our property in the street. We would like to ask your employees to be more respectful of customer’s property when dumping containers.
