Allied Waste curbside recycling in East TX - what's the deal?

I signed up literally months ago for the curbside recycling program. Have never received a bin. Was told could put it out in a laundry basket. Sits there and the regular trash gets it the next day - and it goes in the landfill. Anyone else have this going on? Any suggestions what to do about it (city has contract with Allied Waste Management, so I don't have the option of changing companies) would be most welcome.

    Hi,

    I don't live in Texas, but experienced the same problem in my home town, Lee's Summit, MO.

    After many attempts to resolve the issue with the vendor directly I reached out to my city environmental coordinator. The result was a bin delivered to my doorstep the next morning by a manager. Turns out they were issued a citation for failure to comply with city ordinance.

    By the way... Thanks for doing your part and recycling!

    I live in East Texas and have never heard of any company offer recycling stuff. I have never seen special baskets or anything. I have always heard you had to take it to a local landfill and put it in the proper bends there. The company I use doesnt offer that so we go to our local landfill.

    Allied Waste is the mafia, they have policies that are fraud, they ask you if your bin is ok for your the place, and you have to sign, saying yes/ no, then you sign service for another 3 years. and of course you can cancel but you have to pay for 3 more years...this is what happens to me here n San Diego...
