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.

Our main goal is transparency and honest business and we are committed to ensuring your experience with us is well received. Please reach out to support and we will make sure to address your concerns to our best ability.

Amazing communication!

Consistent communication and assistance are the best way to get anything done, and Sourgum does not fall short with this at all. Would definitely recommend them to other contractors looking for a dumpster/waste removal.

You charged me $40 extra dollars for a mattress and if I was told about the extra charge I would not have put the mattress in the container

Bring back auto recurring schedule without fees

We are disappointed about the change in the auto pick up schedule. It should still stay on a consistent schedule instead of trying to squeeze out more money out of the customer if they miss the notification about pick up or will incur a cost of additional days if no response by 12pm.

If I could give Sourgum zero stars I…

If I could give Sourgum zero stars I would. I ordered a 10 yard dumpster that was the smallest dumpster I had ever seen. While I had it for 2 weeks they dropped the dumpster off at 3 pm on the first day which meant I couldn’t do much that day. Then I ended up having emergency surgery so I couldn’t fill the dumpster up in time so my dumpster was half empty. Then I get charged another $111 because they claimed my dumpster was over the weight … I had no furniture in there just cardboard boxes and old lawn ornaments. It was a total fraud to say the least the dumpster was smaller than what I ordered the dumpster was half full with non heavy items and then they can just claim that it was overweight and just charge you whatever more money they want. Total fraud do not use them!!!!!!

Thank you sharing your second experience with us, Yasmin. 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.

DUMPSTER RENTAL

The deliver was right on time and pickup came a few hours early but it was ready to go. The only reason it wasnt a 5 star rating was there was still trash from previos rental in dumpster. Wet school books, magazines, house hold items. About 5 contrator bags (20 gallon) at 20 to 30lbs each by the time i bagged it up. It took about 30 minutes to clean it up then start my job. Other wise staff, call backs and scheduling were great. Thanks i will use you again and recommend you.

Glad I Gave Them a Chance!

I recently used SourGum Waste and had a very positive experience. Initially, I was a bit hesitant to go with them because of some negative reviews I came across, but I’m glad I gave them a chance.

Their pricing was the most reasonable out of all the companies I looked into, and the customer service was excellent throughout the process. Communication was clear and timely, which made coordinating everything much easier.

While they did miss the original scheduled pickup date, they were quick to apologize and arranged for the dumpster to be picked up the very next business day. I appreciated the accountability and how smoothly they handled the delay.

Overall, SourGum delivered on what they promised and made the process hassle-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Kendrick Evans is AWESOME!

My account executive Kendrick Evans has been absolutely amazing! I needed a dumpster quote for 3 separate projects, and he sent me over the quotes the same day! I love that this is a 1 stop shop for all our dumpster needs. I highly recommend Sourgum, and a HUGE thank you to Kendrick for making my life soooo much easier!

Dumpster delivered on time all three times and picked up with ease. Everyone I spoke with was very helpful and pleasant. The only thing I did not like was having to leave a message each time, but to be fair someone called me back very quickly each time. I would highly recommend Sourgum

Thank you for your feedback, Jon. At Sourgum, transparency is a top priority, and we strive to keep our customers informed about all pricing and potential fees in our order confirmations. Overage charges from the disposal facility are something we must unfortunately pass along when they occur. We assure you the tickets are provided to us by state regulated facilities. We appreciate your understanding and hope to service you again.

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.
