| Anyone have recommendations for a trash company? They all seem to have horrible reviews! |

Have you double-checked that trash service isn't provided by the County? We didn't have to sign up for trash.
At our rental we have AAA/Republic. No major complaints but you have to watch the increases and be prepared to call and ask for better deal every few years. We weren't paying attention and it got really expensive... like $150/quarter... then I called and got it down to like $60/quarter. Wish I"d made that call sooner. |

| They are all equally good/terrible at this current time so go with who's cheaper. |

| Do a search. There was a long thread not long ago. American got bought out and sucked big time for a while. They reduced many people from 2x per week to 1x and it seems to have stabilized. |

“many people” = “pick ups”. Wtf, autocorrect? |

| Mclean trash seems to get decent reviews, but when I went to switch to them, I couldn't get them to answer the phone. I took that as a sign. |

| Giving this a bump. Moving to a part of ffx where I have to pay for trash (!) Who is decent and cheap? |

No one is decent. They’re all fairly cheap. |

| I’m getting $45 a month. Is that right? |

| We have been mostly happy with Republic. A few missed pickups when labor was tight last year, but lately they've been good. Their customer service phone line picks up, which is more than I can say for the others. |

Wait - you have to individually choose a company? This is not a neighborhood-wide thing?
My area has county-provided trash and recycling services. It's so bizarre that it's not that way everywhere. |
