This company picks up garage or are supposed too in St Paul on Tuesday. They skip us on at the very least a monthly bases. I call and I’m told just put it back out on Friday and they skip it again. Of course since they are pd by the city which I’m charged for, there is never any way to get a refund. When I call the city to complain I’m told to call Heartland just a vicious circle. And I the customer loses out. If there is another company for St. Paul try them first.

Twice in the last two months we've had our garbage not picked up, as well as several of our neighbors. The yard waste was even worse. They rarely picked it up and even when we cancelled it, it took them two years to get the receptible.
We finally switched. I can understand mistakes happen, but when they happen as often as they did with this company, you can tell something is wrong.

They had one of their guys run into one of our buildings with a roll-off dumpster and cause damage to on of the walls. You can perfectly tell that it was from them with the location of the damage, right where they back up to set their roll-off dumpster. Would not recommend them and will not be using them anymore after we were told there isn't anything they can do. Apparently they don't know what customer service is.

The trash collectors in Wood River consistently leave a mess on our parking lot. The contents of the mess are clearly not from our dumpsters (broken beer bottle glass at an elementary school). I have photos. Horrible service.

Bad customer service, careless drivers that completely destroy dumpster corals, put dumpsters down on top of trash bags and furniture so they cannot be picked up etc. and good luck calling the office or owners. I’ve given up on that for the most part.

My neighbor called me this morning to tell me the storm last night destroyed a big box I had sitting out to go to trash. He said when the guys running the garbage truck showed up they were on their hands and knees picking up all the garbage that had spilled. That to me speaks volumes of their service.

They did not pick up the trash for the first 3-4 weeks after starting service. Had to call each week to get everything pick up each week. After a few months of service they stopped picking up grass. After that cancelled service and was told I would get a refund for the unused services. It has been almost 3 months and still have not received a refund. The only thing that this company has going for it is the prices would from shopping around are the best in town, but if you never get service then it doesn't matter how cheap it is.

Our company has bee using Heartland for almost a year with several dumpsters on a large commercial site in Grand Island. Service and reliability are not one of the strong points. Not recommended
