Ridiculous Customer Service

Honestly, the worst company that I've dealt with over the last three years. You get so much conflicting information. We've paid for all our services via direct debit for three years. All of a sudden we were informed that payments needed to be made over the phone, 'up front' as the so called policy had now changed. Very inconvenient and unsafe having to give card details over the phone especially since our company was a victim of fraud a few months ago. So uncomfortable having to work like this. All this on top of the numerous other issues we have had with this refuse company during the time we've been with them including rude and awkward drivers.
Never know what's going on with this company. Better to find a collection company with better customer service.

Edit: In reply, this was just not the case as my order 3 weeks ago went straight onto Direct Debit, Nicola and payment has already come out of the account. Called this week to be told pay over the phone. Therefore, I do not agree with your comments as I've had to deal with this company for the past three years. It is just not safe to be supplying details over the phone anymore. As explained previously, we have already been victims of card fraud and the bank advice was to protect card details at all times. The person was so rude when I asked if this was a safe method.
Would you like to see all the orders and Direct Debit payments to clarify your comments. Yet again, incorrect information supplied.

Hi Farry, I am very sorry that you have felt that our service has given you reason to give us a negative review. I have looked into your communications with the team to understand more about your complaint. I understand that there has been no change to the way in which we collect payments for our services, payment on order is simply for our bags and carboard labels as we do not charge you to collect these.
This is a product purchase, you are purchasing the bags and the labels upfront to allow you to use them for your waste collection, you are not then charges on a schedule for the collection. I hope this helps clear matters but if you would like to talk this through further I'd be grateful if you could contact us again and I'm more than happy to discuss further with you.
Thank you very much, Nicola.

Incorrect quotation on website

Disappointing service when trying to hire a skip for domestic use. The price quoted on the website was incorrect by £80 (price was for hire in Scotland, not England) - significantly more expensive than their competitors - and this was only highlighted when the company called to take payment. Unfortunately the company would not honour the price they had quoted. It is not made clear when booking a skip online that bookings are not actually completed online and you need to await a call from the company to take payment. As I booked on a Friday night, by the time they called on Monday and explained the quotation was incorrect, I was unable to get a skip delivered on the day I wanted from another company. Please make sure your website is accurate so other potential customers are not misled and inconvenienced.

Helpful Driver

I've been with NWH for a few years now and find them really good to deal with and always very responsive.

I wanted to make special mention to a driver that helped us yesterday, Colin Jamieson, our bins were in a mess as someone dumped black bags in our recycling, instead of refusing pick up he sorted it all out and was really kind and helpful. Waste disposal is stressful for businesses during busy periods so this was really appreciated. Many thanks

Great service for skip hire

I used NWH to hire a skip for some home and garden work. Service was excellent throughout, a thank you to Lisa G in the office team and Billy D the driver.
Skip was delivered bang on time and collected the next day after the call to arrange. Would recommend.
