Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is currently investigating allegations that major waste companies routinely miss their scheduled recycling trash pickup while continuing to bill customers in full. Consumers across online forums and BBB complaints describe weeks of accumulated trash and service interruptions with no credit applied to their bills.
Concerns About Billing for Unrendered Trash Pickup
In Fort Collins, Republic Services faced contract penalties for missed pickups but reportedly continued to fail residents. In Oakland, customers claim Waste Management logged “recovery pickups” that never actually occurred. Similar issues were central to the Cericola v. A.J. Blosenski class action settlement.
Why This Matters for Consumers
Consumers pay for weekly waste collection with the expectation of consistent service. Failing to issue credits or refunds for missed pickups may constitute breach of contract, unjust enrichment, or deceptive billing under state law.
Did Your Trash Go Uncollected Without a Credit?
If you paid for waste service but experienced missed or partial pickups without reimbursement, you may be entitled to restitution.
