We had AAA years ago and they are terrible. They don't pick up the trash sometimes. Are arbitrary about what they will pick up. Sometimes will take yard waste and sometimes they won't. Sometimes things like tree branches must be tied together and other times must not be tied. They are arrogant as h***. I dumped them and got BFI and had hard time getting AAA to pick up their bin and recycle box. They finally picked the things up and then tried to charge me for them saying they did not get them. They also sent bills for several months saying we did not cancel the service correctly???? Then AAA bought BFI and again we were stuck with AAA's bad service. A friend recommended New Vision Services and we have been delighted for several years. New Vision is a local company and you get a human when you call and they will take care of any problems. I'd recommend New Vision to anybody looking for good service if they work in your area. Look them up in phone book.
