Thank you for your feedback, Donald. We do try our best to prioritize deliveries and removals in a first come first serve order during the busy season and after a holiday lines at the disposal facilities can be up to 3 hour waits which causes the industry to be behind.

We are still dedicated to ensuring you had a good experience, please reach out and we would be more than happy to discuss a solution that solidifies our dedication to our customers. We hope to provide you a better service in the future.

Picked up the dumpster 6 days late

Picked up the dumpster 6 days late, had to contact them multiple times to get it removed. Price was reasonable but won't be using again due to unreliable customer service. Recommend using a local service instead.

Thank you for your feedback, Baruch. After reviewing your case I see that we had come to an agreement on the price of the 20 YD as dispatch was out of 30 YD containers at the time, we offered to switch it out the following day, or you could use the discounted 20. You chose to go with the discounted 20 and went over the included weight of 2 tons by 1.54 tons. We do have to pass along overage charges as it is the weight of the materials placed in the container that is paid by us to the disposal facility. We want to assure you that our weight calculations are based on the official weight tickets provided by state-regulated facilities. These facilities adhere to strict regulations and employ certified scale masters who ensure the accuracy and reliability of the weighing process. We rely on their expertise and equipment to determine the weight of the waste being disposed of. A copy of the ticket was sent you upon the completion of your rental.

Please do not hesitate to contact us! We are committed to addressing your concerns and hope to provide a better experience next time.

Did not move dumpster as was requested and agreed upon. Picked up dumpster 1 day late. This caused local residence to add unauthorized additional waste to the dumpster.

Thank you for your feedback, Jim. We do try our best to acommodate every request in a timely manner. We are at the mercy of traffic and lines at disposal facilities when it comes to delays. We can see we fell short of your expectations in this instance and hope to have the opportunity to provide excellent service on your next rental.

The dumpster was delivered early which was great! They took the care of placing it in our carport. We were done in a week and they came back in a timely manner. I would Definitely give them a 5 star! Customer service was exceptional with any questions that I had! Kudos to them! 🙌

The dumpster was supposedly delivered to the wrong address. I called numerous times and no one would answer or call me back . I also sent emails. I was called back after 1/2 the day was over, after I threaten to cancel the order. I will not use this company again

Thank you for your feedback Lisa, after a cursory investigation we did speak to you 4 times the day of initial delivery to communicate to you that we were delayed in real time. We advised you when the order was placed deliveries can occur between the hours of 7am - 7pm as we simply take the most fuel efficient route for the day. Typically we will prioritize something for the morning if requested. It was not in this case, we are unfortunately at the mercy of the lines at the waste facilities and traffic. It was communicated that you would be receiving it the next day and prioritized, as we were behind schedule on the Monday. You were refunded 20% as a courtesy for the delay.

Seeing that you were not satisfied with your experience we are still dedicated to ensuring you had a good one, please reach out and we would be more than happy to discuss a solution that solidifies our dedication to our customers. We hope to provide you a better service in the future.

Found out about Sourgum through an internet search for dumpsters in my area. The reviews seemed pretty good. I contacted Sourgum about having a 30 yard dumpster delivered to my house. I was able to conduct everything (delivery and pickup) through email. Mÿ only task was to get the dumpster loaded. Sourgum provided the information about which materials couldn't be loaded into the dumpster. I knew how many days were included in the price along with the weight. I ended up exceeding the 4 ton limit by .55 tons. I'd contact them again for sure. They do have a phone number to call for any questions.

This is the best service I've used

This is the best service I've used to order a dumpster, the prices are better the service reception is better and I can never go back to using any other company. I highly recommend sourgum waste for all of your dumpster needs. Kelly or mike both a pleasure to work with.

My experience with SourGum Waste has been very good. Their service is reliable, communication is clear, and everything was handled professionally. The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is because I always like to leave a little room for continuous growth. That said, I’m very satisfied and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others.

Thank you for the feedback Lance, we are communicating via email. upon further inspection, I see you were provided pricing for a container in a different county than your initial project from a lead that was submitted by you online. We are at the mercy of the pricing of facilties within the county the materials originate from in accordance with state and local laws.
