Waste Management increased my total monthly fee for residential and trash pick-up nearly three times the original rate in 3 years, with the most substantial increase within the past year. The rates also fluctuated due to "fuel costs". They charged $75 plus "fees" (which = $95.70) to cancel service, which is not disclosed at the time of initiating service. Not to mention they tacked on another $13.50 for a late fee to equal $109.20, even though the delay was mostly due to their billing errors and delay in responding to inquiries. They have measures in place to avoid being able to speak to an actual person. When you finally receive a response from an actual person after filing a formal complaint, they are prepared with scripted, generic responses and blame the consumer. WM is deceptive and calculated in offering appealing promotional rates and then disguising their additional fees and increases.
