Very disgusted with their services. We as customers are paying for services and should have the choice of crediting our accounts if they do not provide the service. Yet their employee/Maria can lie stating "only the city can give credit and states right here they picked it up yesterday at 1:10." (Which was Sunday) We all know they don't work on Sundays.) Oh, to boot, I stated, "I have a video cameras outside our home pointing straight at the road." I call back after speaking to the city, once again I get Maria. Ask for a supervisor was on hold 25 mins before supervisor answers. They want to pick up tomorrow which is 2 days before my next pick up. I order 2 trash bins for a reason and they can't do their job which I pay for their services. I can understand if my trash bin was not before the truck came, it was. This is ridiculous. Also stating trash bins are to be out by 6 a.m. Something needs to be done about this company. I will be submitting a complaint to the city, better business bureau, mayor, as well. I feel we as a community, we should stand up for our selves as we have to pay the outragous prices. They should be held accountable for their services not rendered.

I’m new to Meridian and still getting settled, so I reached out for information about bulk pickup and local dump options. The representative, whose name I did not catch, assisted me with incredible kindness and provided outstanding customer service. She answered all of my questions with patience and offered several helpful resources to make it easy for me to dispose of my garbage and empty boxes. I truly appreciate her time, support, and professionalism. Thank you for such a welcoming experience!

I would like to publicly recognize Republic driver Perry B for the professional manner in which he handled a potentially disastrous situation yesterday. In Meridian, while picking up refuse from an apartment complex across the road from our place of business, something exploded and caught on fire in his garbage truck. He saw our large lot and drove across Overland road with his truck on fire and sounded his horn to warn us. He selected a spot to dump his burning refuse and was able to get it offloaded into a gravel section of our parking lot. Our gravel lot is surrounded by areas of brush and overgrowth and his quick thinking made it so the large fire was contained to the gravel area only. Come to find out, Republic’s trucks run on natural gas and the tank is on the roof of the truck. Perry was able to contain the load and fire, while saving the truck, which could have been disastrous if he had followed the direction of the 911 operator, who told him to abandon his truck at the apartment complex while his natural gas powered truck was on fire. I firmly believe that Perry’s quick thinking avoided a potential disaster. Also, a big thank you to Republic for renting front end loaders and clearing our lot of the burnt debris. Perry saved lives yesterday by not abandoning his burning truck in a residential area. Republic Services of Meridian, please recognize Perry for his actions yesterday.
