I recently changed my garbage service to Syntek, mainly because it is related to one of our members. Allied has been charging me $65 for 3 months plus a $15 Fuel Charge for a total of $80. I changed to Syntek for significantly less and called to cancel the incumbent Allied whom I have had ever since I moved back to GA.
The first thing Allied did when I called to cancel was ask my why.......I said less expensive........so they immediately told me they could reduce my service to $45 for 3 months. My first response was....plus a $15 Fuel Charge? And the answer was no, $45 total.
Boy did that piss me off! So I asked why had they been gouging me for three years at $80 when they were willing to do it for $45!!!!!?????? What kinda business is that? Charge what you need to be competitive but don't try to make your total living off your best customers. They could have called after a couple years and said they were going to lower the cost of my service for being a good customer and I may have been with them for lifetime; don't wait until I threaten to cancel and tell me you can do the same job for practically half!
If you have Allied Waste service and want you bill cut in half, just call and threaten to cancel!
Then again, why not go with a company owned by fishermen that charge a regular descent charge instead of getting all they can? I will vote Syntek every time my friends.
