Representative was good

I've been having a number of issues with my general waster and Paper and Card collections. Mark listened and was very helpful. I'm hoping that Mark will be able to solve the issues.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of Veolia

The customer service advisors, especially Taraun Lekhi has been really helpful in the resolution of missed collections. The depot has been playing hard ball on collaborating and has gone the other way, instead of the agreed notes, access times and full site collection.

I believe there is a communication gap between the office and depot and certainly the customer is out of the loop. So we would love to collaborate and resolve the issue of missed collections which we have been facing for the past 2 weeks.

Incapable of locking the container again!



Good morning Ella,

Today I went down to the container to drop off waste and, unfortunately, yet again found the bin had been left emptied after servicing and unlocked.

As discussed during our recent phone call, this issue is ongoing and remains a serious concern. I appreciate the case being raised and forwarded to the account manager, however the problem has once again not been resolved.

Please can this be addressed urgently, as I do not feel it is unreasonable to expect the container to be secured correctly after collection.

Kindly call me urgently

Kind regards,

Nigel Male
