Cal-Waste has the best drivers. They are always on time, never leave a mess and have even waited for me to run my trash cart out when I was late! Great family owned company.

Report
Cal-Waste has not picked our garbage up for two weeks. We paid our monthly payment of $62.00. We run a five star vacation rental, one of the top rated VRBO Vacation homes in the sierras. Bears are breaking into garbages and our guests travel from all over the world to arrive to this stench, two week old garbage from past guests. Cal-Waste's excuse is road repair. All the driver had to do was follow signs and make a right turn to get around the construction.
We can drive there, residence can drive there, even our guests can drive there. Yet, a lazy driver that still has his job cannot drive around the construction? Now Cal Waste says they will be out next Monday to collect the garbage so our guest get to smell this for another three days. Poorly run company and poor management of truck drivers with excuses.
