Business ProfileforWaste Connections of Wichita

I received invoice ************ dated 4/15/2024 showing a balance due for $33.37 (break down $25 Cart pick up fee, $8.00 prorated service fee). I had called on 3/29/2024 and cancelled service effective that day due to the price increase. I was asked if I need a pick up the week of April 1st which I replied no as I had already contracted with another service provider. The person on the phone then stated that there would be a $25 cart pick up fee which I told her I was not paying Waste Connection to pick up their cart and that I was not under contract. Keep in mind I had been a customer for over 28 years. I stated that if you don't want to pick up the cart fine but I was not going to pay the $25 fee. Then I asked if she wanted me to set the cart out for pick up and she said yes and never mentioned there would be a fee. Based on the conversation I had with Waste Connection on March 29th, 2024 I do not owe any monies to them and consider this matter closed. I sent a note along with a copy of the invoice back to Waste Connections stating what I have noted above. Today (5/21/2024) I received a Past Due Notice stating that the past due balance needed to be paid immediately to prevent interruption of service. However there is no service to interrupt as it was cancelled. I find it very saddening and disappointing that a business would treat a customer (current or past) this way.
