I bet that was Bob...I say this because when I left the house this evening my can from Bob's was blue and when I came home my empty can was green. I will give him credit though they advertise free bulk pick-up and they actually took the washing machine and broken freezer that we put out with our original blue can! I guess my old washer and freezer are in that Budget truck...

Hey Guys, Its brutal on here, but i glad to see you guys have noticed us out there. We have had some hiccups getting started and expect to have things running smoothly within the next week or so. Missed houses are part of the business and we have missed several houses. Those missed pickups were taken care of the very next day, even the ones that we really didn't miss. As you may have also noticed we have taken everything that has been put out. We do use a budget truck to run can deliveries, bulk items, and missed pick ups. Missed cans are generally swapped out for a clean one, they are not dumped in the truck. Feel free to stop by and talk, the owners are typically driving that truck. We don't claim to be perfect, but we are trying.
Once again here is what we have to offer;
$25 curbside pickup of trash and recycling $29 garage door pickup of trash and recycling
*free bulk item pickup *free containers *no fees or surcharges, flat rate *these are our rates, we have no plans to change for years to come and will put that in writing
*call now and get the rest of September for free
Thanks for the support,
Bob
ps, gvmike are you try to get free service? lol

Hello Bob!
Sounds like some silliness...
I would advocate you if you gave me free trash pick for life

Is Bob's working the south end of the island? The dump thing is really getting old.
(SG: OK, what's the secret?)

HEY BOB WHERE ARE YOU? sorry bob, but maybe not so...that whole budget rental truck thing just still gets to me...yes, i do understand 'kinks in the system', but come on, it's not hard to navigate roads here on KI (and you know I know what I saw) yea, we have a tough crowd here (and thankfully so!)... we just really want to know who your company is, what and why your here now, and taking garbage back over the bridge to VA... yes, we are a tough crowd and just looking out for all of our own best interests...while i'll say welcome, answer the questions (w/out side-stepping them) that our fellow forum members are asking... you deserve a chance here, if legit, but answer and don't side-step...i saw what you guys were doing, i should have stopped (and while you call our forum brutal, well some shoes fit), speak up and stop the double lingo and i hope you didn't rip some of my KIO friends off w/bogus service

Hey, I guess i wasn't clear enough, sorry about that. We don't currently have our own box truck, I'm still looking for the right one. In the mean time, we are using a rental truck. We are currently using it deliver cans to 75-100 new homes a week. I used it to pickup a fridge, a washing machine, a really heavy grill, a heavier 50's electronics cabinet, lawn mower, power washer, and a bunch of other big stuff. It is also used to take care of missed pickups. Believe it or not, Bob's sometimes misses a house. Last Monday he even missed a couple streets. When we do miss, they are picked up the next day. We will usually take the full can, and leave an clean can in its place. Sometimes if its not full, the can gets combined with another already on the truck. That truck is then driven to our current storage yard and emptied in a truck. I hope I've been clear enough. I'm sure ill hear about if i wasn't, lol. Have a good weekend, see y'all on Monday.
Bob

Whoops! I got side tracked and totally forgot why I got online.
Bob's has a home on the island!!
We just rented an office in Stevensville, on Main St. We will be working on it over the next few days and hope to have the doors open next week. Stop by and say hello.
Bob

Been reading these posts 'Bob' and it seems you've come up against the wrong folks. I have found that being 'local' to the Eastern Shore really means something here. And as you can see, the people here are not ignorant (contrary to what you must have thought). Just because you opened a PO Box in Easton and joined the QAC Chamber doesn't make you a 'local' company.
I called your company for service after your people repeatedly knocked on my door... I was curious about your recycling program. I spoke to a man named Ean and another fellow who said he was an owner - both had completely different stories as to 'Bob's' origination - (2 year old local business, 'Bob' lives in Easton, website stated you were partnered with a company called New Vision Disposal... the other said you are 'new' to the area, 'Bob' doesn't live in Easton and there's no partnership with this big company from VA.
And now I've learned that you're taking these recylcables all the way to Northern VA - it seems to go against the 'go green' theory (fuel, pollution). I am glad I didn't sign up for service - I wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.
'Your kind' came in and closed my local business - and I wish we had a forum like this to at least combat our fall. I am happy these folks are taking a stand - hopefully you will be pushed back to wherever you are REALLY from.
They're on to you 'Bob' (New Vision/?)...

Where'd Bob go? Back to Virginia? After all this rumble, I called the New Vision 877 number after seeing that's the truck Bob's is using for garbage pick up. 'Ronald' confirmed New Vision and Bob's are the same company.

I signed up with Jon at American Waste earlier this year as a result of this forum's recommendation and have been very pleased.
The guy from Bob's has knocked on the door a few times and I politely declined. I thought it was kind of tacky though when I retrieved my trash can this morning and it had a Bob's advertisement taped to it... kinda like handing out Food Lion flyers on the Safeway sidewalk.

I saw a flyer today that American is offering recycling as part of their service. I called and spoke to the owner and I am going to sign up with them. Even if it's a few dollars more a quarter, I will sleep better knowing I am choosing a local company. There's too many fishy things going on with that Bobs.

I keep reading that majority of you on here are against Bob's. Well maybe stop posting about "Bob's"? Hmmm? As I see it you all are giving "Bob's" publicity/advertisement by going on and on. Yes I am doing it now, I know. I just has to put my 2 cents in. Lets see how long we can let this thread go without posting.
