HASSLE-FREE SERVICE & HAULER OVERSIGHT
“Signing with RoadRunner added so much value to our company. Dealing directly with haulers was a horrible process that no one has time for - they took that off my plate. Customer service was so unbelievably attentive, even with all of our crazy requests! We saved money working with them and saved many, many hours of my day’s work. I would highly recommend working with them!”

SERIOUSLY AMAZING!
“We are an apartment community and have been fighting with our trash provider for YEARS. We have attempted to get out of our WM contract for YEARS but the cancellation policies are impossible to comply with and we were even tricked one year when trying to add service - they snuck in an extended contract period. ROADRUNNER IS DIFFERENT. I had some anxiety when signing up the first time (because of my WM experiences) when I voiced my concerns, they brought me the contract back!! And told me to think on it and call them when I was ready!! SERIOUSLY AMAZING...I [have]nothing but love for ROADRUNNER. If everyone did business this way we would be living in a better world.”

BETTER HAULER EXPERIENCE
“I wanted to let you know how pleased we are with RoadRunner and [the waste hauler] you proposed we switch to. The RoadRunner team has been extremely helpful along the whole transition process. Your teams and people are easy to contact and they respond quickly. Also, I wanted to compliment and thank our driver. He is always friendly waving to us, and a little while back went out of his way to help us. We had run a bunch of trash out and had gathered a pretty large pile that we were fixing to put in. He arrived and did the dump as we were about to walk out and add it. He saw us, did the first dump, backed up, let us put the remaining trash in and then did a second dump so it would be empty. This would be UNHEARD of withWaste Management. That’s impressive customer service. Also, their trucks are clean and they don’t drive in leaking “trash juice” all over our parking lot. If you will, please pass this along to the [waste hauler] team.”
