I'm on the board of our HOA too and we had pretty much the exact same issue. When the contact was up, we terminated the previous hauler (Tenleytown) and switched to a new one (Republic Services). Service seems to be better and they definitely separate trash and recycle, at least at our property.

Interesting. Was doing some google research and heard terrible things about Republic but glad you all are having a positive experience. Maybe they turned a few things around?

Yea I'm not sure if they've done anything different. Sometimes they'll miss a collection day, but usually if our property manager calls, they arrange for a same-day later pick-up or will come the next day. So far, no complaints!

Generally you will have better service moving away from one of the big 3 trash collection companies, but things like mixing recycling and solid waste is an industry wide problem
