Drop off prices at Blaine facility is insane!To drop off one old (mostly plastic).dishwasher $50. Twin mattress $30, twin box spring $30, for a total of $110. No wonder they no longer list pricing on their website, they just want to surprise you when you’re there. Highly recommend other options.

Not very accommodating. I called to inform them my husband forgot to put our trash bin out. We were told that someone could possibly pick it up after the route was finished but that was not the case. Now we have to wait a whole week with overflowing trash. We forgot once with our last trash service and they came back the same day. The lady on the phone said, most people forgot to put theres out the same day we did!! So why not actually care for your customers and run the route at least to see if any trash bins over flowing!!!? Im starting to wonder if moving to Walters was a good idea.Our garage is swarming with hundreds of flies since we had to wait for garbage to be picked up on one of the hottest weeks. And bc our garage is connected to our house they are coming inside. So now this is causing way more of a headache than just missing a week of trash being picked up.We’re changing trash companies!!

Stopped in to drop off some construction waste: drywall, insulation, and landscape timbers. Attendant: We dont take landscape timbers - theyre too long. Me: Oh, no problem. The longest section is only about three feet long. Attendant: We dont take them because they break our containers. Me: So it doesnt matter how long they are, you dont take them. Attendant: Yes, thats correct.Maybe its time to buy better dumpsters if they cant handle a bit of lumber.We have them for weekly trash service, and theyre good for that. Anything beyond that is subpar.Dem Con? Friendly, and they take landscape timbers.

We have had the service for about a month now and it has been excellent! Very happy with everything.

Everyone we had contact with at Walters was extremely courteous and helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy; even after we had to change the date of our drop-off. Top-notch! We definitely recommend Walters Recycling!

Not a bad place to work for nice people there

It’s not a big deal, but seems they are always in a rush . I notice this throughout my neighborhood all the time, rather it be trash missed or cans all over this place. I know it’s just a can, but slow down. Otherwise, very sweet staff!

Would like to see extended times and Saturdays for bring in recycling. Times are only until 3 on weekdays. People are still working.

After paying every single bill early I come home to find my recycling bin and garbage bin gone!!

I was changing trash companies and they stated I was under contract, which I was not. Then they stated I needed to give them 30 days notice, fine. I was set up for auto pay and just paid my bill. Walters said with pre pay I would NOT be entitled to a refund on the paid months. So after many, phone calls I cancelled in September, but just had my cans picked up Dec 3rd. Would never auto pay if held hostage.

Well this is now the second time in Within a few months that they did not pick up our trash and had some sort of excuse and now (again ) we have to haul our can up and wait over the weekend and haul it back down ...this is getting old to say the least and there is no compensation for us due to there flaws in there pick ups. Thank you for your response and compensation.

Called them to start service after previous one became unreliable. Walters sent me a can the next day. Picked up right away the day after that. No deposit for the can and 15$ a month cheaper than previous trash hauler. I live in Roseville area and would recommend them to anyone!

Outstanding customer service. And attention to detail for billed amounts from Kelly. She was helpful for reviewing a charge today and reversing it. Thank you!!

I used the public dump site. The corporate personel told me there is a minimum fee but if you have a small trailer and are coming back within the next hour to keep your ticket open and itll save you money. I had two other ladies public site that shared the same thing. It did save me money and I had two small trailer loads for $45 since I used Walter as a service.Today July 8th I had a different experience. I was told that you cannot keep your ticket open and that I would be charged the minimum for each trailer load. So you are penalized for having a small trailer. So a little bit frustrated with the discrepancy when three ladies told me that you can keep a ticket open but yet July 8th the gal said absolutely not, the three ladies are wrong.So I guess the solution is hopefully you dont run into the one lady that charges you per load or just bring a big enough trailer that meets their minimum standard.

Two things made me give them a 5 star review.#1 - I needed a dumpster. They have easy to follow charts online and I called and scheduled it that instant. They showed up on the scheduled day and removed on the scheduled day, 0 issues, and a fair price. Could not have been easier.#2 - around Christmas and New Years, the waste removal timelines got all mixed up due to the holidays and weekends. I am one of the only people with Walters on my block and EVERYONE else had to wait multiple weeks for their garbage to be picked up. Im talking until well after New Years. Their cans sat out there overflowing for days and days. Mine were picked up the expected day-after-normal both holiday weeks. I knew then I had made the right decision

At least 70% of the time they are unable to completely empty the carts. I have garbage, recycling and yard waste and a problem with all three. I would think they could at least ensure the carts are empty since I’m doing all the work to get them to the curb.

I left another company about 2 years ago now due their inconsistency, and communication issues, and I am so glad my next move was to join Walters! I can count on them, and their customer service is always above and beyond! I specifically want to give a shout out to Randi, and Ben! :) Thank you!!!

Weve never had any issues with pick up, billing and customer service are good and friendly. Their yard waste driver goes above and beyond the call of duty. Might not be the cheapest but have been hassle free for 10+ years for us.

They are hard working & very much appreciated!! Thank you

Great service, great company, great people! They have a truck that goes around cleaning your carts and I didnt have mine out when it came by so I ran down the street and asked the driver if he could still do mine and he backed up to do it. I would highly suggest switching to Walters if you havent already.

I’ve been with this company since 2008 and they are extremely considerate especially if I over fill my can. They even wash it in the summer. The pricing is consistent and the office is respectful.

Great company and excellent service! I have been with Walters for 6+ years now. They are very dependable and helpful. I highly recommend their services!

Today is April 1. Yard waste was supposed to start as there wasn’t any snow left and hadn’t rained in a few days. I left on the curb 1 full bin and 5 bags to be picked up. Had to drag into the garage because they started next week. No notifications that Walters was starting next week ! Had to call. I pay for this service. No more.

I have 30 plus years experience with Walters. They are always on time, neat and helpful by phone. They offer a number of options at competitive prices. Love the composting option. Highly recommended.

We have been with Walter for about a year and have had a pretty good experience. However, we got our bill yesterday and it was $20 higher then the last one! We called and the guy said it was because China was not taking our recycling anymore and that US companies are a lot more expensive. We asked why they didnt warn us or send an email? His response was that they simply didnt have time and that it all happened within the past couple of days. So they had time to raise my bill $20, but not time to email me about it?? We are switching back to ACE...

They ended yard waste early without notification, and now I have bags of leaves and nowhere to put them

I called on the 18th of October to pay my bill and the guy who took the payment only charged my account for $1. I didnt notice. So today they came and took my garbage cans, I called and they took responsibility for it being their mistake and they were sorry, but for me to get my cans back I now owe a late fee and the normal bill. Ok fine whatever but then I get home and the garbage cans are sitting at the end of my driveway. It isnt garbage day, and not only that you took them from the side of my house put them back where you got them. I mean its already embarrassing to have them taken. Nothing like hiring lazy people. Im sorry I wasnt going to leave a review but that pushed it over the edge. And its one thing after another with this company. I will be looking for a new garbage and recycle service.

Great group of people to work with. Kelly is great to work with and very helpful.

Called to get new service.They gave me a price and I paid it in full.Service starts next month.I have not even had first pick up and got a bill for another $9 .Surprise not the price they told me.Will cancel service before it begins.Not a way to keep customers before they even start!

Coming home to find trash bags left on my lawn is unbelievable. I wish I could give this company zero stars. We just moved into the neighborhood and havent set up a trash service for ourselves yet. Walters was supposed to pick up two cans left from the previous owners (the regular trash can in addition to the yard waste can). The trash can had a trash bag sticking out from the can a little bit and they tossed that into the street before taking the trash can. They didnt even take the yard waste can like they were supposed to. Leaving trash on my lawn like this is incredibly unprofessional, and I certainly will not be reaching out to them next week when I set up a new trash service.

Two weeks in a row they removed the smaller beg from the top of the bin and left it behind with the side bag. Its not like the bags are heavy ether. Its takes just as much effort to move the bag then to just out it in the truck. Next week we will just pile everything on the bin with the lid open and see how that goes.

Im surprised by all the negative reviews. Weve been Walters customers for over 5 years and weve always had excellent service from them. Every time I need to call, customer service is always very helpful, plus their drivers are really friendly. A few times, Ive forgotten to bring my bins to the end of the driveway, and the driver runs up and gets them by the garage, which I so appreciated!

Constantly have to call them to pick up my recycling because they miss it

We have had wonderful service from Walters for many years. They have always gone the extra mile for us. Debbie even arranged to have the trucks come back to our home and fix the mess I made when all the cans had the wrong stuff in them . Thank you for your personal touch !

Not hapy with their service. Two weeks in a row of not taking my yard waste after making a call to correct this. Ill keep taking the bin out till they get it right.!

This company delivers more then expected by far and has exceed my level of expectation once again. I just saw a kid run my trash cans back to my house. Thinking this was a strange neighbor with OCD who wanted my cans back sooner then later I went out to investigate, but it was Walters doing yet another courtesy service. Ill never switch companies. A sincere thank you to everyone who works for Walters:) Thanks guys!!

Called to have a large washtub removed and scheduled it for our regular day. It was picked up and it cost just $25 which will be added to our regular bill. Easy and convenient! Thanks!

Great people to work with. Very professional.I not only have them pick up my refuse but also my yard waist throughout thsummer and fall.

I have been with Walters for just over a year now and I have been 100% completely satisfied with their services. Paying my bill is easy and the customer service is always very friendly. The only down sides is that they do not provide service everyday (I forget to bring my garbage down on occasion so wouldnt that be great?!?) and the bill can be somewhat confusing to read. Thank you Walters for the fantastic service, *high five* and keep up the good work!!

Walter’s has been our trash hauler for over 30 years. Other services have solicited our business but we have remained loyal to Walter’s due to their impeccable customer service. Whenever a new neighbor moves in, we always recommend Walter’s!

I would recommend Walters recycling and garbage company to anyone looking to change. They have always been accomodating and friendly when Ive called. They will give you one complimentary garbage pickup a year if you forget to put it out. I have used that service once each year for the last two years. I have been with them since the beginning of their business in our area.

Walters has a policy of 4 extra bags of garbage at no charge. Now, I understand that bending this policy for a customer would mean they would have to start doing it for everyone at their expense. I’m not looking for special treatment, but I recently purged a few things from my house and had 6 bags extra. I watched our trash collector pass them up after he dumped our bin. Fine. So I went out, threw them in the bin and carted it across the street so he could empty it when he serviced the other side. He, again, passed it by. I did my best to accommodate him since I knew I was being a bit of an inconvenience. When I called, they sent someone back and charged me for a return truck. I rarely do this. I’ve been with Walters for close to 5 years and this happened once before. Why not dump at least 4 of them? Or all of them and just add to the bill? Some reviews here said their man went the extra mile, which is something I’ve never experienced with Walters. Once again, not looking for special treatment, but whatever happened to customer service??? I know that I am encouraged to go the extra mile for our customers at my job and it has locked in customers for life! Just saying Walters. I’m pretty sure I’m going back to our old recycling company. More expensive, but the service I got was totally worth it! I wish I never would’ve switched!

Service not bad, but management terrible liars. Started service at $54, not bad. Following year $61, 2 months later $74, 4 months later $84. After 1st increase, was told would not raise again for 1 year. Well several increases within a few months. Am now going with another service.

I just love dealing with this company. I left them for a cheaper company but came back after 2 months with that company. The service I get from these people is terrific and I recommend if you live in the Brooklyn Park area take them.

Missed my yard waste again. They picked up my neighbors at 6:25 PM on the other side of the street. The driver came back down the street at 6:35 and drove right past my house without stopping. Its Friday and my containers are full! Not the first time that this happened. I guess I live on the wrong side of the street. Its now 6:45 PM Saturday and still no pick up. Its the holiday week and I know that the trucks were out today. Walters errors are not a priority to their customers.

Very poor ethics. They will continue to raise your rates even though the cost to service your account does not change. Just got my recent bill and they want another $11. Last time I paid an invoice they wanted an additional $9 over the previous invoice. I will be cancelling my service today!

I have had Walters for many years. Never had one problem, always great service from the drivers to the customer service. Highly recommend.

I was delayed in putting my trash and recycling carts out this week after the holiday which delayed our pick to by a day. When I call ed they were very pleasant and happy to send a truck back around to my home.

I have used all the local refuse carriers and I have had everything from billing issues to multiple no pick -up days to crappy attitudes etc but I can honestly say I use Walter’s now, my bill is always correct, my garbage is always picked up but today was the icing on the cake, I think his name was Brad ( I hope I get it right) with the wet weather we had recently, the last leaf battle ended up with a heavy/frozen mess that the grabber couldn’t handle, the bin slipped out into the truck, this employee climbed up into the rig and for the next 20 mins manually cleaned this frozen mess out. Had I not been home to witness it who would have known the extra mile he went. I went out with a pitch fork to help but he did 99% of it, we had a great conversation after. This guy and Walter’s employees rock!

Thank You for the Great Service Walters!!!!Have had nothing but great service from Walters! Our prior service provider was nowhere near as customer-oriented as Walters. We have yard waste pickup with this company as well, and the drivers are always friendly and have even picked up our cans by the garage, when we have missed putting them out!

They have been wonderful. Six weeks ago, my freezer went out and i lost all of my meat for two years. I started to unload and put it in the cans. I am recovering from a broken arm and leg. Thus hadnt been downstairs. When i called to see if they could do an emergency pick up, they sent a truck and two workers to help me finish bring all of the meat up and outside. It was not a pleasant task for them. Very smelly. I really appreciated their kindness and compassion. They will always be five stars.

Have had difficulty this spring with pickup of yard waste. Im very tired of calling them about poor service. They used to be very good.

Dumpster Issue resolved very quickly. Thank you very much.

We have been residential customers of Walters for 16 years and do not have one complaint. Whenever we have a question or concern the Customer Service staff is right on top of the request. We also appreciate the great attitude and timely responses. We recommend Walters!

Walters has always provided me with exceptional service! Customer service is always great and the best part is you get to speak to a live person, no call tree. Drivers are prompt and friendly.

Very responsive company. This week I forgot to put our trash and recycle bins out by the curb. In the afternoon, I called to ask if it was too late to do so. They sent a truck by my driveway to pick up our trash even though they had already been through our neighborhood. I really appreciated it because the container was pretty full. Thanks Walters.

Very reliable and affordable garbage service company.

Walters is a very good refuse CompanyWe have had them for 23 years. when ever there was an issue, it was addressed immediately. The issues are usually minor problems. The office staff are very friendly and handle things right away to our satifaction. I highly reccomend them.

Walters is a very wonderful company to be with. They have never missed a pick_up at my house. Drivers are very friendly and work with you very well. Great company.

Okay, I’m sorry to have to do this because I really like Walters but when you drop the ball you drop the ball. Here’s my situation:I read a notice from Walters that they wouldn’t be picking up yard waste the week of April 13th - 20th, as I didn’t read any other notice after this I wrongfully assumed that the yard waste service would pick back up the following week considering the temp outside is 60degrees and there is no snow on the ground. Well I wake up on Friday to see my yard waste still at the curb with the bags of leaves that took me, no kidding, two full days to fill. So I think okay, I’ll give them a call to sort it out. Well I’ve called about 30 times in the past 40 minutes to get hit with a busy signal every time. To note, I waited until 8am, their posted opening time to start calling. Who has a busy signal in 2018? Anyway, if you don’t pick up my yard waste that I pay for, and you don’t answer the phone, well then you get a bad review. All you had to do was answer the phone or pick up my yard waste. That’s it. I will remove this review if you contact me with a solution today!

Go with Ace Waste. This so call-ed family run business is like the mafia. These people go door to door in your neighbor and try to push you move to them by stating they are cheaper. Completes lies! They are exact same price as their competitors! But the service you receive is terrible... they are completely unorganized. I have gone to their physical office spoke with the front desk, and the OWNERS MOTHER even and they cant complete or get straight their facts straight.

The customer service lady was so helpful when I had questions about my new recycling bin... She had such a respectful attitude. Im so glad Blaine switched over. I would also like to add... Although Walters dropped off their recycle bins before the first of the year, they did not start picking up until after January 1st. Therefore if your recycle was dumped all over the place, it was the other company that did it.

Ive had Walters for years. Im very satisfied with my service. Several of my neighbors have recently switched to Walters.

Walters has always been a great provider and their customer service has been exceptional - I’ve been a customer for over 30 years and won’t ever switch to another carrierKeep up the good work Walters- appreciate your service

I missed my garbage pick up two weeks ago because of a funeral I had to attend and this week I simply forgot to bring garbage can down. I called customer service to see if they could send a truck over for a fee to pick it up and they said it would cost me $50 dollars. I told them they were crazy and that I would call ACE and I bet they would have a can to me with new service by Friday. The customer service person said Im sorry there is nothing I can do. I said good by and ACE is having a can delivered on Friday at no charge and is beating Walters price.Hold service providers accountable they work for you. Customer for 10 years with Walters.

Without doubt, the most unorganized and unprofessional service Ive been forced to use. I had a simple request to pick up 2 yard waste bins from my home and have made 5 appointments (and counting) to get these picked up. They do not have the decency or courtesy to call and tell me why they have not been picked up and I have to constantly call to make another appointment. They do not know why they havent been picked up and have stated the drivers sometimes miss the address and drive by the pick up location. I do not know how you can miss 2 large green bins when they are the only ones out in the neighborhood. They say they cant have trucks re-routed to pick up my bins but they are perfectly fine with dishonoring appointment after appointment for a simple pick up. Complete incompetence. Avoid at all costs.

Salesman flat out lied to me. Told me Walters was under new management, and they were trying to be the go to customer service waste hauler in our area, and that they would not raise the rate for 2 years. First year, no problems. This year they have increased the rate every quarter. 33 percent increase in 9 months. Customer service says they cant do anything, and cant help what their salesman say. They have no integrity, and follow unethical sales practices. I would cancel now, but they would fine me $200, which is more money than left in the contract payments. If I could afford a lawyer, I would sue them.

Walters has been very helpful, especially when i forget to put my cart out, they have been willing to come back around if they are still in the area. Friendly customer service.

Excellent overall service. I particularly appreciate their friendly customer service and quick response to any questions or requests

Walters does a great job! The drivers are friendly and when I have a question or concern I can reach someone on the phone without being on hold forever.

Always excellent service. When I call about schedule change, always receptive.

Nice staff N. Suburban location makes it close for me HOWEVER I roll up with 30Gal. of trash and the sign on the entrance say $50 Min Charge.Never mind....

I cant say enough about the great service we have been getting from Walters for over 10 years in Brooklyn Park. From the drivers to the customer service professionals they are great to deal with.Today I called after the yard waste had not been picked up to see what the problem was. I had forgotten to pay for this added service and the truck had gone through over an hour ago. I paid over the phone and they contacted the driver to do a courtesy pickup for us. (we had a lot to pick up and I was dreading having to deal with it) They were back within 20 minutes to collect it!Thank you Walters for your professional, consistent, fair priced service! You have a customer for life. : )

Great reliable service. Driver seems to go above and beyond. Would recommend to anyone within their service area.

Zero stars if it was possible. I had ordered the pacakage for yard waste to be picked up for $93 and that was two weeks ago, they missed both weeks. I had to call both times for them to pick it up the next day. I should not have to leave my yard waste out for two days blocking my driveway and killing my grass. I usually never write these reviews because I think its pretentious and a waste of time, do not waste your money on this literally trash company. Im not sure what their criteria is for hiring drivers to do their jobs, but their bar is set very low.

Extremely rude lady refused us service and told us they close at 4:30 when its clearly stated as closing at 5. You can bet we wont ever bother coming here again and we are in the business of renovating houses! Lots of business they just lost. Would not recommend coming here to anyone at all.

Walters is AMAZING, we own a local moving company and have various disposal needs, they are ALWAYS extremely accommodating, polite & professional, prices are reasonable and invoicing is simple. I would highly recommend this company if you live in an area that is able to choose trash haulers.

I had Walters for YEARS. I sent an email asking a few simple questions and all of the responses I received were short, unhelpful and SNAPPY. PLUS there were not signed so I couldnt call a manager to let them know the poor service I was getting from the individual I was corresponding with. I emailed Ace Garbage to ask my simple questions and was given prompt, polite and very helpful information. After living in my house for a decade I switched service. I couldnt bevel the terrible service I received from Walters after all my years of paying them. AND my new service is cheaper!

I have been a customer for more than 5 years and Walters has never let us down.

Reliable, dependable, and accomidating with the unusual disposal issues ... That thing that just did not fit in the bin.

I call few weeks ago to get my yard waste going, I ask the rep if they could pick up my waste the next since it was Monday 2pm she said yes after making the payment, she decided to tell me sorry cant pick up block I asked her why she said because they are not allowed to do thatIm going to call this morning try to setup my account again and hopefully Ill come across someone with good customer service that will take care this

I have used walters for years and I love them! Whenever I call with a dumb question they are always so nice and helpful. I wouldnt use any other company!

Great family company, with great prices. They have always given exceptional service and I have never had a complaint.

Horrible customer service. Drivers will bypass Trash cans just because they feel like it. when they do take the cans, half of the time theyll leave lying in middle of street on side causing drivers to have to stop vehicles and move cans off to side of road. spoke with management and got the oh well speech. I miss WM taking care of our garbage and recycling needs.

Reliable service and friendly folks on the phone every time I call. Minus one star, because they seem to keep losing my auto-pay info.

The gal at the front was so kind to me today and helpful as I was having a recycling crisis moment. Thank you!

Great service, great people! The only thing I would suggest is being able to change payment types online for autopayment. But you really really really cant beat the service and the great people they employ!

Significant price jump. Call them and theyll offer you back to the intro rate which is still a ton more than Ace. Check out the competition.

Originally I ordered trash service when the previous resident was moving. They said they would leave the old ones and swap them out on my first week of service. Due to a communication issue they took all the cans. Amazingly on a FRIDAY they arranged to have new cans dropped off to get me through the weekend, and then give me brand new ones on Monday (My trash service isnt until THURSDAY). The customer service provided was very personal and I really got the impression that mistakes like this are not common at Walters and was taken very seriously.Im a busy professional that has little time to deal with issues like trash service. I have had so many issues with vendors of various services in the past that dont care about the individual customer, so I typically dont do business with them. I can say now, with no reservation, I recommend Walters. If you live in their service area I strongly suggest you use them. Youll save time, money, and if you do have to call them youre going to get fast results and solutions, not apologies and excuses.

Their recycling driver has issues dropping the cart where they pick it up. Most times it’s sitting in the middle of the driveways entrance. Have called probably 10x in 2 years now, but nothing happens.

Didnt tell me i signed a two year agreement when i signed up and told me they match any offer anyone made me. when i called about an offer they told me i was locked in my agreement that i didnt know about. pretty much told me to suck it

HORRIBLE customer service. We have been trying for weeks to speak with a manager on the phone and cant get a hold of them and have never received a call back. Walters dropped off a maggot filled garbage can at my house and then refused to swap it out. Now they have been charging us for services we no longer want, but cant cancel because we cant speak to a manager. If I could give NEGATIVE stars I would.

I would highly recommend using Walters Recycling and Refuse for your residential and commercial needs. They have been very dependable and courteous.

Excellent customer service the best around! Have had other service (2 others) and they are the best.

Walters is the best ! Ive used their services for years. I highly recommend Walters

Whenever I need to call into their office, I am greeted with a live person on the phone and NO calling tree.

So far on week four, recycling has come once, garbage twice but on the wrong day. If your service is reliable, do not pick Walters, if you save money, you gain garbage and frustration!

I have nothing but good things to say about them. Great service, great communication.

Weve used them for over 3 years now. Best prices weve found and their customer service is 10x what ACE or WM have given me.

Recieved last bill and they charged me on separate occasions pick up for chairs. We have never disposed of any chairs EVER. This is my second time leaving them. They are dishonest and extremely rude. Will not fall for their false promises ever again.
