I have experience dealing with Norfolk Disposal both for roll-off bins and residential pickup. We have 6 bins at the office but the issue at hand is roadside pickup.
4 out of the last 5 pickups Norfolk Disposal did not take our trash or recycle. 3 times it was our recycle and 1 time it was our trash.
Today, on the second time calling them to complain, I was informed that I must sort my recycle in two different bins. First of all, I only have one bin. Second of all, why is it only becoming a problem now after doing this for years of living here? Third of all, why is everyone else on the street with one bin getting pickup with no issues? Forth, why wouldn't they inform me instead of repeatedly skipping me?
Apparently they put stickers on the bin if there's an issue. They didn't put a sticker on my bin until today, when they skipped my pickup for the 4th time. The agent on the phone said the stickers probably fell off the other 3 times. Well don't you think you need to buy new stickers if they fall off 75% of the time? You don't need an MBA from Wharton to diagnose this.
I understand missing someone's garbage once or twice, here or there. We all make mistakes, and I'm the last thing from perfect... but 4 times you miss it and don't inform the customer until the 4th time? Like come on. Who is running this circus?
So the solution offered is during next pickup, I'll be given another bin to sort, and then they'll take my recycling on the following week. So, what am I supposed to do with my recycle for the next 2 weeks? I'm going to have 3 weeks worth of recycle built up because of whatever attitude this driver has. Again, I don't understand why this is becoming an issue only now and I don't understand why everyone else on the street with one bin doesn't have an issue.
Not much sets me off but not taking my garbage will do it. Tax money hard at work. No one can do their job right anymore.
