Richmond Sanitary SUCKS!!! Monopolies suck! We should have a choice! No wonder they treat their customers like garbage! Their business is just what they do- GARBAGE! They don't care how they treat their customers, they are arrogant... they know they are the only choice so they abuse it! Once again they are in the dinosaur ages-all other businesses give you plenty of fair warning when your auto pay credit card is about to expire. But not Richmond Sanitary! They just stop service! Oh- they still charge you for the week they left your garbage can full though even though you renew your credit card info when you find out the rude way that it has expired. What a bunch of trash. Their motto must be ""GARBAGE IS OUR BUSINESS SO OUR BUSINESS IS GARBAGE!"" They sure live up to it! Well- my motto to you is Richmond Sanitary Sucks! ...read more

I echo all previous review sentiments. The problem is that they have no competition. The local government does not give the residential owner a choice about whether or not they want garbage service. Trash removal service is mandatory, which although objectionable, is understandable for health and sanitary reasons. CC county residents do not have a choice but to pay whatever is charged, and if not paid for directly to the sanitation service the govt contracts with, fees are levied with penalties on your property taxes. Worse, you as the customer do not have the choice of which trash removal service you can use, it is dictated to you. The consequence? The sanitation service (Richmond sanitary services) has a monopoly--they don't need to serve the customer....and they certainly don't--talk about the golden egg. I tried to contact a law firm about violation of anti-trust laws and was told they would not take a case like this--that is too bad. What Richmond Sanitary services is getting away with is criminal. If Contra Costa felt some responsibility toward its citizens, they would review their policy and demand that Richmond Sanitary Service pay more attention to its customers, or they would facilitate some competition, and a system where, although trash service mandatory, citizens could choose the company they contract with--competition creates better service and a fairer marketplace. Its sad that in this country in this day and age, such a monopoly exists. What needs to be done...a petition circulated and submitted to local government. ...read more
When a customer visits a restaurant, they expect that the dishes, glasses and silverware are all clean and sanitary. There is more to sanitizing a dish than wiping it with a rag; proper sanitization is a task that must be completed with care. ...read more
If you have solid waste to dispose of, it is important that you dispose of it properly. Most cities have a landfill where you can take solid waste. If the solid waste is a bio hazardous chemical, you will have to dispose it of a little differently. Most towns will have a dump that you can dump your ow... ...read more
