      Rumpke missed our pickup. We called several times and they assured us they would be back within 48 hours. They never showed.

      Absolutely the worst. They miss my trash all the time, promise to pick it up within 48 hours and still don't pick it up. The driver is rude and will cuss me if I ask him nicely to please take the trash. He even threw the whole can in the truck and I had to get another one. And he's still working there!

      Rumpke was supposed to pick up for our homeowners association on Thursday. No-show. We called, they offered to come out the next day. No-show on Friday, no-show on Saturday, no-show on Sunday, no show on Monday, despite calling them over and over. This is a colossal failure on their part. Please do not EVER use Rumpke!

      Weekly my trash & recycle pickups have been on schedule with no misses. Even this AM the attendant waved to me as I watched out the window. Their customer service has always been excellent too when I have a question. The online bill pay is also perfect so my payment is on time. Their communication on holiday schedules or any other matters is so appreciated. Rumor exceeds my expectations!

      Last week Rumpke skipped our trash pick up for an unknown reason. We called multiple times and they said that someone would be out within 24 Hrs, they never came back. This week we were skipped again so I called and spoke with customer service they sent someone out to pick up our trash. The driver only took half of the trash and left a note saying that it was a bulk pickup, also left a bunch of cardboard laying in my yard the trash he did take the cans were everywhere. I would like to send the pictures to you cooperate office so they can see the work that the company is allowing. I explained to the lady when I called back that the only reason we had so much was because you didn't pick it up last week either. So after calling a third time the supervisor said the only thing I can tell you to do is take it to the transfer station. WHAT we pay you to pick up our trash and we are supposed to do your job and then refused to credit us for the week, so now I have to take the trash to dump it and pay again to do YOUR job that we pay you to do. This has to be the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I will NEVER recommend such work to anyone.

      Requested a final bill and never received it. Was never told how to return trash bins. ***** took it upon themselves trespass and take the trash cans. Had i been given the proper instructions they would've been returned but this absolutely gives them no right to come onto my property and take the bins. I'm very uncomfortable they thought this was okay especially with the location my trash cans were sitting. Regardless they had no right to step foot further than the curb.

      They missed a pick up. I called early on the same morning. I called every morning after that for 4 days and they told me something different every time. It has been 4 days. I was told today the driver in charge of missed pick *** would get it by the end of the day. It is 7:45 PM on Friday. I guess the trash will sit there through the weekend. So far I have had to rebag it, get it out of the neighbor's yard and re stack it at the end of our 1/4 mile drive. Monday I will change service. NEVER AGAIN. Please do not use Rumpke.

      Terrible customer service. Recycles have been sitting on the curb for 3 days and will now sit through the weekend because they weren't picked u. This not acceptable.

      Horrible customer service. I call about every other week, if not weekly for failure to pick up. I'm told that I have to wait 48 hours after pickup day to complain. Then it's the weekend. Then we are a week without it getting picked up. And that's if we are lucky. And when I call, I tell that person how dissatisfied I am and they really don't care :) I will be looking for another trash company.

      Rumpke Waste services is terrible for trash pick up. They have skipped our house at least 4 different times in the last 6 months (missing all the houses on our street) and refuse to give a credit even though they aren't providing the service we had paid for. Terrible customer service. Might as well be openly stealing.
