Broken Wing Mirror
One of their vans hit my car and broke my wing mirror, the driver failed to stop and report this damage. I called the company to inform them, they said to email them and they would get in contact with me to sort it out. I have the van on CCTV footage causing the damage and had sent this to them as proof of the accident. It has been a month and I have sent numerous emails and received no response from this company.

1 Star - should be lower
I pay freash start to collect my commercial waste - they havent collected my bin for 10 weeks despite weekly calls and them promising to collect it the following week. The customer services manager Anita was particularly terrible - arguing with me about me calling up to request that they collect my bin or give me a vaild reason why it had not been collected on the 10 previous occasions. Very poor customer service. Certainly wouldnt recommend.
Jessica was ABSOLUTELY fantastic

For several years now
For several years now, I've been recommending Fresh Strat to numerous clients, and about a year ago, we transitioned to using their services at our office as well. My initial interaction was with Claire, who has been my main contact since then. This week, amidst drafting new contracts, I successfully transitioned two more clients over to their services.In conclusion, Claire has facilitated a smooth process, and their service is consistently reliable—they promptly inform us of any potential issues. Despite encountering more affordable options, our priority as a service-oriented company is quality over minimal cost savings.Highly recommended.

Fresh Start - Claire Dunn, Account Manager
We have worked with Fresh Start Waste for many years and have always found their service very reliable. On the rare occasions, we had any problems, we would contact Claire Dunn our 'go to person' at Fresh Start. She always went over and above to resolve any issues and we cannot praise her enough.

Using them for around 2 years so far.
I've been using Fresh Strat for a couple of years, instructed on behalf of various clients. We also moved to them at our offices about 12 months or so ago.
My initial conversation was with Claire and she's been my point of contact ever since.
This week (still in the throws of creating the new contracts) I have moved 2 more clients to them.
In summary, Claire has made it very easy and their service is reliable (we are immediately informed if there has been or will be an issue) and it's good value.
I have seen cheaper solutions advertised but we are a service company and we prefer good service over trying to save a very small percentage.
Well recommended.
