  1. Simon, the customer service manager is FANTASTIC. There was a lot of confusion regarding the delivery of an additional can to my home address. Simon personally handled the situation for me, took my calls, and returned my calls in a timely …

  2. Horrible customer service. They don’t care about the customer at all. Rude staff and rip off pricing. Wish there was another option in anchorage.

  3. Called on Monday and ordered a trash can. Can arrived same day. It was emptied on Tuesday… Seriously what else do you need.

  4. This garbage is garbage!!!
    I called and was on hold for over 20 mins every line i tried!!! how do they want there trashcan back. im not paying for a trash can at a place im not living at!!!!!

  5. They are constantly NOT picking up my Recycling! Then I call and they send some driver out that only empties half the can. The drivers just don’t seem to give a %#>##£ if they get all of it or not!!!

  6. Leaves trash on road, grease all over the road, when you call they say the account says no extra bags, well if you dump it and the trash falls off, pick it up!! Your not helping keep Alaska clean!!! Horrible Service!!! – Carrie L

  7. EXTREMELY RUDE Customer Service!!! I hope the management would do something about it. I tried to be pleasant but the lady I spoke to raised her voice and yelled at me. Not even done with my question.

  8. VERY frustrating dealing with with the “Customer (dis)Service person on the phone. The woman was rude, did NOT listen to my needs and only was able to address what I was needing when I asked to speak to her supervisor. After five minutes on …

  9. RUDE unhelpful customer service! Even though I called to update my CC info, it was not recorded on my account and I ended up having to pay the reinstatemnet fee. BOGUS BS!

  10. This business doesn’t seem to know what ‘customer service’ is..a person waiting more than 10 minutes?? Really??? Actually, I would not have given a star but the program insisted in order to complete.

  11. Trash company. Their customer service is terrible. And not to mention they don’t even want to hear about your situation. Instead they take advantage of people and make them pay $300 for nothing. Thanks for picking up my trash.

  12. Shoutout to Alaska Waste. My girls set up a lemonade stand today. One of their drivers stopped, bought some from them, and gave them stickers. Sage area. Thank you sir, you made their day💖 …

  13. I came back from work only to find out my trash didn’t get picked up everything was good no trash out of bag it wasn’t overflowing so there was no reason to not get picked up I was so frustrated so I call them and the most nicest and …

  14. Worst customer service and experience I’ve had dealing with a dumpster company. Spent hours talking on the phone with them to try and get a dumpster, and finally I told them to cancel the order. But then the next day they still dropped a dumpster off. Use anyone else besides these guys…

  15. While I’ve been favorably impressed by the drivers and the receptionist I was finally able to contact (after 3 calls and 1-1/2 hours on hold) I must say that if there is any worse customer service on the planet I’ve yet to experience it…

  16. I called and waited for 28 minutes only to be hung up on multiple times. Update: I tried again on Monday waited 30 minutes and got hung up on without them saying a single word.

  17. Alaska Waste has a big heart! Our neighborhood is working with Paint the Town to help repaint the home of a neighbor in need. Alaska Waste stepped forward by donating a dumpster for use in clean up around the home. We also have experience with Alaska Waste for our business. THEY ROCK!!!

  18. I still pay for there services because I dont think there is any competition on lower hillside. They straight up ripped my mailbox off with there truck, And drove over it on trash morning. I complained and they performed a “investigation” and said it was not them… complete bs…

  19. I appreciate my trash and recycling pick up. Thanks for battling rain, snow, wind, bad roads and having to share the road with bad drivers.

  20. Setup for my account and service was prompt and accurate, my can was delivered as stated in the phone call. Am looking forward to doing business with them during the course of requiring their services.

  21. Alaska Waste is an awesome community orientated organization. We were so happy to have Alaska Waste join us again as sponsors and participants in our 20th Anniversary Season of Giving fundraising event. We couldn’t have so many community programs for Alaskans in need without community sponsors like Alaska Waste!

  22. They’re always dependable and efficient, even with the one foot snowfall recently. My refuse container is always put back in the right place, too.

  23. Absolutely terrible service. Twice this year (it’s only April) they have failed to come by to pick up our recycling. When I called yesterday to complain, they told me that they would send someone by today for a special pick up. Well, it’s …

  24. Customer service rude. Because I did not have my trash out by 6AM and driver saw me put it out they did not pick it up. Canceled my service, just not worth it. In looking at my last bill, they charged me for extra trash when I was on vacation and did not put out any trash.

  25. If it were up to me, I would not AK Waste. The driver ultimately makes the call on whether he picks the trash up or not. I’ve watched him pass up trash for no good reason, perhaps he did not want to get out of the truck.

  26. Couldn’t make it into my neighborhood to pick up trash due to bad weather. No problem – BUT they refuse to come back until NEXT WEEK. Didn’t tell anyone – we had to call. Nothing like having 2 weeks worth of stinky garbage in your garage at Christmas time!

  27. Moving to Eagle River and attempted to set up service with them. There is one customer service number to call. I attempted four times to call them and each time I was placed on hold for 45-60 minutes only to be told to leave a message and …

  28. I’ve been using this company for 3 years (since I moved here) and I am not happy with them. Seems like garbage pick up is hit or miss. They will leave your cAn unless it’s in the exact right spot (which seems to change weekly). you get …

  29. The first 4 yrs that we were back in Anchorage, our waste collector was named Joel and he was the Best. Friendly and kind, Joel was a friend. Then one day, there was a new person on the truck and we all thought Joel was on vacation or had …

  30. I wanted to comment about the phone issue at Alaska Waste in Anchorage. I too called multiple times to be on hold for 20-30 minuets just to be disconnected. It has been happening for the last 2 months and can get frustrating.

  31. $25 “reactivation fee?!?!?” Just for taking 30 seconds to enter a different credit card! Bogus. Their weekly service is ok, although every now and then they don’t pick up your trash. Have to call them to have them come back. They need competition.

  32. There was a wait until I got through. When Christina came on the phone everything went like clockwork. She got my information, brought up my account, and emailed me the payment from 2015 thru 2018. From the time Christina came on the line until we were done was less than 5 minutes. Bravo Zulu to Christina!

  33. Wish I could leave zero stars. Terrible customer service, BS fees added without warning, took our trashcan for “non-payment” when we are setup on auto-pay and had zero balance due. Their mistake, yet charged us over $50 in fees to bring our can back out.

  34. Have never had a problem with service. I’ll happily continue to give my garbage, recyclables, and money to a company that employs so many Alaskans and does so much positive for our community. Keep up the good work y’all.

  35. I’ve had nothing but good experiences with Alaska Waste. Great customer service, easy to talk to human when I’ve had questions, and the truck even waited for me while I frantically ran out with my trash in my robe when I forgot to put it out!

  36. They do remove the trash as they are supposed to do, however customer service is terrible. Usual wait time on the phone is about 4-5 minutes. After calling twice, emailing and even upon creation of the account had provided an email address …

  37. Our regular route driver is as regular as clockwork. She’s always been friendly and was especially accommodating today. We forgot to put the garbage out and she picked it up anyway even though she’d already passed our house. Thank you for being so kind!

  38. Go ahead, try to contact them by phone. Their idea of customer “service” is leaving people on hold until they hang up. Typical Alaskan utility company with a monopoly on necessary services, see also: GCI, utility providers, etc.

  39. Worst company I have ever dealt with. They take forever to answer the phone and seem to never come to a solution. I have had multiple issues with this company not picking up my trash when it is out out at the correct time and right next to the road. They take absolutely no time to help the customer.

  40. Just had the best experience with them on the phone. I talked to a woman named Christine, she was amazingly helpful and wonderful. They were so helpful, and kind. 5 stars for their customer service!

  41. Connor was very helpful with my invoice! He answered all of my troublesome questions with helpful answers. Very positive person, and made it an all around positive experience.

  42. You didn’t pick up our garbage today and you didn’t pick up my neighbors garbage as well. This isn’t the first time this has happened that you have missed the entire north side of West 39th Avenue. Furthermore your clerk said that they …

  43. I’ve had only positive experiences with Alaska Waste. The people I have spoken to and the drivers have been very polite. Thank you for your service I have had for over 3 years!

  44. We’ve had construction on our street for several weeks and the truck drivers have gone out of their way to make sure our service hasn’t been interrupted when possible. Today they were unable to safely make it up our street. When I called to …

  45. Chelle Mayac in Customer Service was so kind and helpful. She felt like an old friend. I appreciated that she resolved my issue quickly. Thanks Alaska Waste for hiring a great employee. I hope pay these front line folks well.

  46. Customer service is lacking. I’ve been on hold, waiting to ask an agent about an extra pick-up I have scheduled. I really don’t understand how it can be over 1/2 hour and I’m still waiting to speak to a representative.I’ve been ‘next …

  47. In addition to having garbage service in various areas around Anchorage for the past few years, I’ve also had commercial and rolloff service as well (i.e. gotten dumpsters delivered to my properties), generally for remodeling and the like. …

  48. If there was any other option I would use it. The trash service itself is great! But dealing with customer service and their billing issues is a nightmare. I have been told there is no auto pay option, call back and then they tell me of …

  49. Terminating service with this pathetic company. We live on the Upper Hillside where winds are frequently 50-100 kts, including today. Tipper carts blow over and spill their contents throughout the neighborhood on such days. When I called …

  50. ALASKA WASTE IS THE BEST! I’m from Arizona so I don’t really have my snow feet about me. However, the drivers always help myself and our elderly neighbors take their trash cans back to their homes from the driveway. A GIANT THANK YOU to …

  51. I have needed to contact customer service only a couple of times when my credit card number has changed and each time my call was answered within a minute or so and customer service rep was polite and efficient. I have no issues with pickup service or customer service, though price is a bit higher than I think it should be.

  52. Didn’t pay my bill but that is because it didn’t;t arrive. Not surprised with postal system. But, also did not get late notice… Now I am a bit incredulous. Called and payed. They said they would not charge me extra next week if I have …

  53. Worst company ever!!! Don’t call on a Friday at closing time because u will be told whatever you want to hear apparently. I was told as long as I Call in Monday morning after making my payment my service would be taken care of that day …

  54. Never had a problem! I pay a low rate for trash pickup in my neighborhood and when I signed up, promptly received my bin. Recently had been missed in trash day pickup and called customer service who sent a truck the next day. Customer service was polite and solved my problem.

  55. I have had services in Anchorage for over 15 years. Customer service has always been polite & helpful. They show up as expected. When I went to a smaller can service, the cans were swapped out earlier than stated. I can even use my …

  56. I had service from Alaska Waste for nearly four years in apartment units in Anchorage and the service was always timely, efficient, and reliable. They also go way beyond garbage pickup and do a great job at educating the community on ways to reduce/reuse/recycle!

  57. I have always had excellent service from Alaska Waste. Enter Alaska USA who paid my bill through Bill Pay so woefully late that my service was cancelled. I spoke with the bank and they offered to do an investigation on their end, but I …

  58. In 2011, this company mandated that we get rid of our regular trash cans and either rent a “cart” from them or buy one that could be dumped automatically by their trucks. At the same time, they raised our rate. I purchased a 96-gallon …

  59. Above and beyond customer service! Got a call from them during the recent cold snap. The driver on our route noticed our garage door had been left open. Their office called and left me a message. Turned out it was the tenant in our condo. Frozen pipes are expensive!!! Thanks so much for being community minded!

  60. I was really happy when Alaska Waste introduced curbside recycling several years back. We were sorting, storing, and then hauling our own recyclables before that and though I was willing to go to the trouble, it was definitely inconvenient. …

  61. I left a bag of grass clippings at the end of my drive very early Wed AM with our pickup day Wed. I was going out of town & didn’t want to leave my trash can at the end of the drive. The bag was NOT picked up & neighbors complained. I …

  62. The good (I know, strange for a 1 star rating): Customer service people are kind and helpful if you call and wait. For the most part garbage service works and for the most part I guess that is what one wants. …

  63. We live on street that often gets icy and prevents the trucks from safely picking up the trash. I understand this, however, we still get charged unless we call in each week, sit on hold for 10-15 minutes and request a credit. If you don’t …

  64. i moved into the four season apt homes, and i emailed Alaska Waste twice for a quote and did NOT get a email back. I called their number and was on hold for 25 minutes in the afternoon time only to have NO ONE answer the phone. I then …

  65. I am happy with the service. I find AK Waste Customer Service responsive. I have occasion to email them 2 to 4 times a year, they get right back with me either my email and phone. Once they did not pickup my garbage, but it was my fault …

  66. Your drivers are great at my location, but we have other service locations that they are either on=call or regular pick-up and they choose when they want to do that. They’ve raised our rates saying we have to use their trash cans which we …

  67. Did request a quote through their website never heard back….Then tried again 3 days later submitting a request through their contact us page still nothing. If they can’t sign up a new customer can only imagine how poor other customer service is.

  68. Been w/ this company 15 yrs & will definitely STAY w/ them! When I call I get immediate help/solutions (even when behind on my bill), they’ve been able to help me w/ everything from a big 8 yrd dumpster down to a small roll cart AND have even apologized for not pick’n up my trash when it was TOTALLY my fault!!

  69. I have had service at my home for 7 years now and never had an issue. Both of the drivers that pickup in my neighborhood do a great job and are very friendly. On the few occasions that I have contacted the office (broken/missing garbage …

  70. Wow! Amazing customer service!
    We had 3 brown bears topple our dumpster, making a giant mess in the process. One phone call to Kevin Manson, at Alaska Waste, and the dumpster was righted and …

  71. First time creating an online account with this company. I’m waiting for the verification code to complete my login. It’s been more than an hour. I’ve called the customer service number on the bill and it’s hung up on me three times. Why is …

  72. Told us multiple times they would give us a dumpster on our property, then out of no where they tell us oh we dont deliver that far. after we payed money to rent a dozer to clear a spot for the dumpster. Thanks alsaka waste for wasting our time and money.

  73. Alaska Waste went out of their way providing excellent customer service to accommodate a special pick-up request at the office. They coordinated with Ian at the landfill (Solid Waste Services) to make everything go off without a hitch, and did so with a smile. Thank you Kevin, Brad, and the rest of the crew!

  74. When I first got service set up out in Wasilla everything was good. But in recent weeks I’ve been noticing a decline in what I’m paying for. I was told at sign-up that I was to put my trash can out on Tuesday night, as pickup was early …

  75. Normally I would wait to be a customer to write a review, but unfortunately it seems impossible to get service connected. Over one week ago I contacted them and submitted a request for service. I was sent an email with a form and submitted …

  76. One of the worst companies I’ve ever dealt with in regards to customer service. My husband and I moved and wanted our services to end. We contacted Alaska waste six times via phone and email and have not received a single response. We set …

  77. There was a time that out of the blue, they couldn’t accept MasterCard. The guy who answered my call said that there was something wrong with the contract or something. That guy also had no problem informing me that if I didn’t pay that day …

  78. Trash pickup was today. I went out to grab my can to stow it. It was still half full. I checked the pieces immediately thinking maybe they got jammed. They didn’t. They were loosely in the bottom of the can. Oh well things happen. It’s just …

  79. I just got off the phone with Ella Santos who’s customer service was outstanding. I was remiss in updating my cc on file for auto pay, missed getting trash picked up (yikes!) and she was lovely & kind to deal with! She took my payment and helped update my account. Yay! 5 out of 5 stars for stellar customer service! Thanks Ella!

  80. Bad customer service with follow through. Had to call multiple times to get trash service set up for valley location. Called to get a dumpster in Chugiak area on a Wednesday, they said they would have it there by Friday. Never delivered, …

  81. Connor in the customer service side is great! We had to call when returning our recycle bin because the main office was closed and ended up talking to him. We’re moving out of state and he made the process of closing our account/services …

  82. Our church has used Alaska Waste to handle our trash collection for many years. Service has always been reliable and as scheduled. We were recently approached to swap out our basic green dumpster for a fun, custom painted one, and we gladly …

  83. Dishonest about recycling service. I witnessed both recycling and trash being emptied into the same truck, mixed and hauled to landfill. They charge substantially extra for this dishonest service.

  84. Tried to call to find out how to get to recycling since the construction on Dowling Rd doesn’t make this easy. Phone rang and rang and no one answered. Went on website to the CONTACT section and sent a note, which was answered within a few hours. Do appreciate that, but it would be nice if someone answered their phone.

  85. Had an account problem. Attempted to call and was waited in the phone queue. After waiting forever to speak with a representative (not requesting a callback) and advancing to the next caller position, I was forced to leave a voicemail for a …

  86. Missed pickup last week, due to a payment issue. Both of my garbage cans was full to over flow. We gad additional bags on the ground. He picked up my garbage on of my bag had a hole some of the garbage spilled out. Driver picked up every last piece. I consider this kudos for this driver.

  87. If you can, go with Northern Waste. Alaska Waste did not pick up our recycling for 2 months and our trash for 2 week! Every time we try to call them they keep us on hold for a hour just to send us to voicemail. Northern Waste answers in the first couple rings, ALWAYS.

  88. I forgot to take my trash out during one of the snow storms this year. The driver for my route saw me running out of the house to take the cab to the curb, and graciously waited for me. It was a simple, but very appreciated, act of kindness

  89. After being told we are “on the schedule” for Friday pick up for over a week, the dumpster is still in our driveway. Saturday is day zero to have it removed before our family comes and we made that clear multiple times. Thanks for the …

  90. My trash was not picked up on schedule, but both my neighbors were and that’s okay! Alaska Waste was going to make it right by coming out the next day and picking it up. That sounds good to me! …

  91. This is an edited review….
    I had used this service for over 2 years and overall was satisfied with it. Had a miscommunication that resulted in some extra charges. Left a poor review after …

  92. I’d like to thank our driver, Every Thursday, he waves or honks back at my son and myself in the window. We want him to know how much we appreciate his kindness and gesture every Thursday. My son is special needs (highly functioning) it …

  93. Jasmine in the office was phenomenal—our account has move a bit between when we purchased, a property management company and us in between. Jasmine was able to track it down, help me clear it all up and back to us. She set an appointment …
