Thank you for sharing your experience, Moshe. We advised you that all inclusive pricing included the weight limit of 3 tons and included rental days within your rental. If you were to go over the included weight we advised that you would be responsible for the extra materials that were disposed of at the facility. The final weight in the container was 5.75 tons which made you responsible for 2.75 tons of weight.

Our goal is to provide clear and transparent information to our customers, helping them understand the factors that contribute to their final bill.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to reach out.

Thank you for your feedback, John. We strive to provide timely service with real-time situations. We understand that the removal of your container was delayed due to an early closure of the disposal facility. Regarding the multiple abandoned calls you had with us on the day of delivery, we appreciate your patience with us during the busy Monday and we had been playing phone tag with you along with being in touch with our dispatch in real time for an estimated time of arrival. During the busy season we are unfortunately at the mercy of lines at facilities and traffic.

We appreciate your feedback and would appreciate the opportunity to make your experience a positive one. Please, If you have any further questions or need additional assistance don’t hesitate to reach out.

I had an outstanding experience working with Kelley Kirkland at Sourgum Waste. She went above and beyond to make sure I received a same-day drop, and she didn’t stop working until she made it happen. Her communication was excellent, and her commitment to getting the job done right and fast was impressive. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and delivers on their promises, Kelley is the one to call. Highly recommend!

Quick action and a great service

We rented a 30 yard dumpster on 3/3/2005. The worker dropped off a 20 yard one by mistake. Upon notifying the office, Alli helped us quickly to resolve the issue. We are very happy for the swift action from Sourgum. I highly recommend this company for their professionalism and honesty.

They happen to be the worst service ever imagined. They didn’t keep their appointment. We had a mistake with the address which we addressed. They ended up charging me a fee for the mistake. Then took their time in issuing me a refund. Avoid if possible

Thank you for your feedback, Andrew. We strive to provide timely and accommodating service in real-time situations.

We understand there was an issue with the original delivery date, and since you were unable to accept the rental at 1 PM on 3/3, it was rescheduled for the morning of 3/4. Additionally, we initially received an incorrect delivery address for the site. After speaking with you upon arrival at the incorrect location, we were able to correct the address and reroute the delivery the same day, despite it being 45 minutes away.

We understand your frustration regarding the negotiated trip fee refund. Please note that these refunds typically take about a week to process and receive approval.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to improving your experience in the future.
