Our waste collection technicians come through our neighborhood every Monday and take care of our refuse. With rare exception, they are here on Monday whether it is a holiday or not. They are efficient, they manipulate around vehicles and never damage them, and they ensure that even poorly packed trash is picked up. Our modest drivers will simply say that it's just their job. But what most don't know is that they are also trained in crime prevention. They are a keen set of eyes that travel through our neighborhood every week during the dark hours and have an opportunity to witness nefarious activities

I have called this business for over a decade. Many times the person on the phone was unresponsive, uninformed and just plain rude. Well I went to give a huge shout out to Lisa who is changing things. She is in customer service. Bright, polite and wonderful. If everyone at this company was like Lisa, there would be nothing but four and five star reviews.

This review is specifically for our Recycling driver, Edward. Trash day is a big deal in our (toddler) household. We have been waving at trash trucks from the porch since we could walk! Our truck drivers have always waved and honked. However, Edward really upped the bar when one day he stopped and got out and properly introduced himself to my son and gave him a toy recycle truck to play with on the "non-trash days". Needless to say, this remains one of his favorite toys to this day. THANK YOU for being an awesome human, Edward! We so appreciate you!

Horrible customer service. WVM picks and chooses of which emails they reply to via their website. Ive emailed them three times in three weeksno reply. New Driver does not leave recycle bin can where you left it. His music from the cab is unreasonably loud at 06:30, hes clearly in a hurry while driving, and judging by the noise, the truck must have some mechanical issues. Unprofessional service. Ill see if the CPUC can assist.

They didn't pick up my trash Tiesday morning. Called late in the day, after 10 mimutes, most of it on hold, was told they would pick up by Thursday at the latest. Called Thuraday 4 PM, was told the matter had been flagged to a supervisor, and pickup would be Friday. Friday, no pickup by 4 PM. Called again.Rep said the driver had the ticket. Trash not picked up. It's a 3 day weekend with temps to be in the high 90's and my trash is sitting in front of the house, quite odiferous. To update the review, I have had no problem with trash collection since the initial post, so I see it as an aberration

This is a trash company with garbage service. The exact reason why giving private companies a monopoly is no better or worse that a publicly managed service.
