I've been having a number of issues with my general waster and Paper and Card collections. Mark listened and was very helpful. I'm hoping that Mark will be able to solve the issues.

Have just used the online chat with Jasmine H. She made it a very easy and explained everything she needed from me in a clear and simple way.

The chat service made things easier

The chat service made suspending and adding collections much quicker than a traditional phone call no time lost in a queue. Rebecca W was a great help in getting it all sorted.

Absolute shambles of a company

Absolute shambles of a company. Literally unable to organise even the most basic of refuse collection or bin removal. Taken a month to receive a reply from them. Would not recommend to anyone. Avoid at all cost. Can highly recommend Biffa as an alternative.

Quick and easy customer service experience, quite refreshing to not automatically met with a bot. Veolia offer you a human interaction from the beginning, something a lot of other companies have disregarded.

Veolia chat experience

Jade from customer services was very helpful on the chat with booking an additional collection and a complaint about multiple missed collections. Lets hope Veolia back up her work and actually call back as arranged and make the collections they have on our service schedule.
