We left Republic Services a few years ago for Queen City Disposal, and they’ve been totally reliable. In addition, our prices haven’t skyrocketed. They adjusted slightly for gas. But when we were with Republic they basically raised our rates twice a year without fail until I called to complain, then they would lower it for a bit, then just start the cycle of raising the price again. Part of me wondered how high they would go, but I didn’t feel like paying out for an academic exercise.

I'd second Queen City, never had a problem, no billing issues, never pickup issues. If I get it in the bin by 8am it'll be gone when I get home.

I think they're at $50/3mo now too? Can't complain.

And third. We pay $75 but that includes a recycling barrel picked up biweekly. Nick, the operator/owner is at least decent people. One of his trucks clipped my car a few years ago and he took care of the repairs out of pocket (it was a beater so I didn't need it fully restored).

Yeah you're getting robbed, there's 3-4 other options that are all within the $15-$20/mo club.

Christ, that's upsetting but at least I know now.

Patriot Disposal, aside from having an amazing name if you actually think about it, was the cheapest when I called around. $45/3 month bin fee+$9 for gas charge=$54/3 months, plus you get 3 months free when you sign up.
