Yes, you are very correct.

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.
