So what could go wrong did go wrong.

So what could go wrong did go wrong.

When we requested some additional waste collection following a charity event you would think nothing could go wrong. Everything was in place - or so we thought! The driver was not allowed to collect the waste, because the jobsworths in the office said there were too many bins. The ensuing conversation took so long that the driver said he could have done the collection in half the time. They then denied the conversation ever took place, but on reviewing the recorded conversation they addmitted they had got it wrong. The glitzy website does not reflect the product. If you can find someone else to use then in my view you should

We note that your review was written before your additional, unscheduled waste was collected. This collection occurred on the day we had agreed, just a day after you called to ask for our help, following an event you held at the weekend. We also offered you a considerable discount at the time as you are a customer of ours.
Our 1st driver arrived as scheduled and emptied your normal bin, however due to the volume of additional bins (25 bins of unknown origin) our driver could not take the load and service the other customers on his round without impact to them. As a result, we arranged a special collection by another of our trucks, from one of our other depots, to collect the waste on the same day.
We believe that we have provided you with good customer service, at short notice and at a considerable reduction in price.

My service is constantly disrupted…

My service is constantly disrupted meant to have a collection once a week and it never gets collected on time which is very frustrating, always an excuse of taco hours but surely if it’s missed on day of collection it’s should be first on next day but it’s not then driver runs out of taco again !!! this has been happening for months then I get charged for overweight bin yeah because your late collecting it !!!! Really poor customer service for regular bin collections.

The site is badly managed

The site is badly managed. The stench from this site affects the quality of the air all around the local area. We should be entitled to clean air not a stench every day. They cannot manage this and should have their licence revoked.

Ok now had the reply below. Every day we report them to Environmental Agency and yet Hills say they’re unaware of any issues.
The stench this morning is nauseating and we have to shut all doors and windows and stay inside. We cannot keep living like this, it’s not healthy.
We need to know why they’re allowing the stench and what they will do to prevent it.

We apologise for the delay in responding to your comment. Our operational sites are heavily regulated, and we work closely with the Environment Agency to monitor and manage them in accordance with permit obligations. In line with these permit obligations, we take odour mitigation very seriously – so if you could provide further details of the date, time and location the odour was noticed, this can be investigated. Please send the information to: comms@hills-group.co.uk

NO Collections

Our service is constantly disrupted, supposed to have 2 collections a week and sometimes you fail to even collect once. There have been weeks when we have had to wait more than 7 days for a collection. I understand you have had difficulty but this has been happening for more than 2 months now and as you can imagine its very frustrating. You have even tried to charge us for being overweight on our General waste and the only reason its overweight is because of failure to collect.

A-BLOOMING-MAZING So Very Helpful

A-BLOOMING-MAZING - I telephoned today on behalf of my Vietnamese friend and had the absolute pleasure in talking with KAREN. She was very communicative, professional, understanding, ensuring my friend understood the service that would be provided, price, contract etc - she made the whole process absolutely seamless. Her customer Service was really outstanding.

I'd phoned another waste company (beginning with B!) earlier, the woman was so disagreeable and very unhelpful.

Backs to HILLS - again I cannot thank Karen enough she really is outstanding. I hope Hills management appreciate the service she gives their customers, she's one in a million.

Amazing Staff!

The Staff!
Received a call out of the blue from Alex Chew, we werent happy with SITA, so I sent some copy invoices, Alex advised that we could make a huge financial saving by moving to Hills Waste.
We decided to change, Zoe Ratcliff and Alex helped make the transition really easy.
Zoe is great, and one thing that really appeals to me is that whenever I have called.. I get a human being..!!!! And they are all so helpful.
Zoe I would say goes above and beyond with her customer service.. nice to see as its so rare in this day and age.
Great team, I would highly recommend them for their waste services, communication in general, from the drivers to the customer service on the phones.
Great job everyone!

The most painstaking experience I have…

The most painstaking experience I have ever endured whilst ordering a skip.

I just wanted a skip for general goods to tidy my yard the hassle over emails and phones and the entire rigmarole of getting to the right skip after constantly saying what I wanted it for was absolutely annoying.

apparently you have to know every minute detail and item you are going to throw in the skip before you can even order one.

Ridiculous.

Sorry to hear about your experience with us. However it is really important as a waste management business that we ensure we send any waste to the correct facilities for recycling and disposal. That does mean we will need to understand exactly what is being put into our skips from our customers, this would have been why you were asked the extra questions of what waste was in your yard. Please feel free to call and ask to speak to the supervisor or manager to discuss this further we would like to help you with your skip.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service - especially Heidi.
Hills service a couple of customers & important events for us and have always been friendly, polite & competitively priced. We recently had an emergency and they saved the day - confirming availability, pricing, the next-day delivery of a RORO and booked the subsequent collection all in a 10 minute call. One email later all was arranged. The RORO was delivered as booked the next day.
Highly recommend!

Regular collections missed at one point…

Regular collections missed at one point and then when those were resolved they would routinely leave the bins out on the road after we requested them not to.
Once they removed their bins when we switched they then left our yard in an absolute state, knocking things overs etc.
Don't bother with them in W-s-M.
