      A few months ago our local trash company was bought out by Stevens Disposal. Shortly after that we originally had a one yard dumpster and it was switched to a two yard dumpster without asking us and i could not even fill the one yard dumpster. When they brought the bigger dumpster out i told the driver if there was going to be a price increase to not even unload the new one. He assured me there would be no price increase. I was also forced into signing a contract that i never had before. I was also told the contract was just a formality and could be bypassed if something happened. I just received my new bill with a significant rate increase and when i called and questioned the bill and told them i no longer wanted their services for being lied to i was pressured to try one of the other services that i did not want. After many back and forths with the salesperson and numerous times telling them to come get their dumpster i was threatened with having to pay out the rest of the contract and other fees. This is clearly a bait and switch tactic that should be illegal.

      I live in the **************, and the city switched to Stevens Disposal when the trash contract was up for bid. Our previous trash hauler had become unreliable in my opinion and wanted to charge more, so I was happy to hear that a new company was awarded the contract. I must say that I am impressed. My garbage is promptly picked up every week in the morning. The guys who handle the lawn waste always treat my cans with care, and the guys driving the trucks are always very accurate. There has never been a problem. The new trash and recycle cans are well built and are much easier to use than the previous arrangement with the old hauler. They also give us a second can for free with the citys contractperfect for when we have some extra trash. I am a really big fan of this company because it is local and seems very responsible and reliable.
