Beware of Waste Management

[CHA-LEE]

I am not sure about business trash pickup with Waste Management. But their rates for residential pickup is triple the cost of others here in Parker. I use to have them but they kept increasing their rates little by little every billing cycle until it was way out of hand. I finally called them out on it and they basically said, it is what it is. So I switched to a local trash pickup provider and enjoy only paying 1/3 the price.

I had WM residential service for years and they were really good about picking up anything we put on the curb. Then the rates gradually went up, until this last year where they switched to quarterly billing at an outrageous cost. I switched to ProDisposal which has negotiated pricing with Highlands Ranch. I'm now paying almost 1/4 what WM wanted to charge me. I thought they just wanted out of the HR market, but it sounds like they've lost their collective mind everywhere.

Us too!

The 2-4% WM increases didn't bug me. The $12/quarter increase did.

ProDisposal has been excellent, they've never missed a day. Even on bad weather days they will still show up, even if super late, to pick up. WM used to miss days all the time or skip the recycle (on a recycle day). I used to never tip the trash guys but I've started tipping our ProDisposal guys.
