Once again Bates has not picked up in QAC. Regular pick was supposed to be Monday. Service was good there for a while.
My larger complaint is that they are giving a price increase on 1/1/18 and the new rate will be $90 per quarter. I know we have options here and want to make sure I have trash and single-stream recycling. Recommendations and opinions are welcome. For $30/ month, I will start making dump runs myself.

Looks like Charlies may not offer recycling in MD. Did you talk to them? I guess i can call them on Monday. Thanks. I will call Chesapeake as well.

Charlie’s does offer recycling. The pick up is every other Friday. As of now the price is $60/quarter, same as Bate’s currently but way more dependable. Good luck!

Sent a message for a quote from Charlies. We'll see what they have to offer.

Charlies quoted me $75 for trash pickup and an additional $5 for recycling per quarter. $80 every three months versus $90 for Bates. Not a huge savings. Anybody have any other prices? Just want to know all my options.

Thanks Frank. All of these companies come in here cheap and then jack their prices when they find out they are losing money (or not making any). Bates is a slightly larger company so it took them a bit longer. I am not saying it is not a fair price but 50% at once is a pretty big jump. When I talked to them on the phone on the 6th or 7th, they mentioned that I had to cancel by the 8th or I would get charged for the next quarter. They don't know me very well.

I think Bates is still affordable even after the rate hike. Price hike sucks but their decent and you get recycling. It would be nice if the county stepped in....

Why would you pay any of these shysters when all you have to do is stop by the dump for a fraction of the cost?
