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.

Disappointing start to the new contract - did we make a mistake?

Started a new contract and still have not had all the bins delivered.
Still waiting to be told when the collection days will be - had 2 x missed collection notices but didn't know they were coming to collect.

worst service ever…

they just transferring calls here and there with no idea what they supposed to do.
worst customer service I spent whole day on phone and at the end I found myself same where I started ridiculous
we reopened our account and its been a month but still no bins and and no collection.
there is no bins collection schedule on customer hub
very unprofessional
every time I called they assured me that we will have our bins next working day but then nothing
whole month is gone and I am still waiting we got piles of rubbish at our back yard and we had to pay good amount of money for that to collect with other services
when i emailed them that give me some clarity so i can arrange or do contract with other waste collection providers they straight away shoot an email telling every thing is done and you ll get your service resumed by tomorrow then again nothing,
I have wasted whole month cuz of them.
hopefully I might find better and professional company then them they are rubbish.

Great customer service!!!

I spoke with Dawn Streeton today and she was amazing. She was extremely professional and was able change something for us last minute which will enable us, as a company to run more efficiently. We've been with Veolia for many years now and will stay for many more, especially if we get the same customer service that we received today.

Customer Hub

To be honest, collections can be erratic at times, however Veolia's Customer Hub is excellent. Response is fast, efficient and importantly always with a person! Any issues resolved promptly. Shout out to Hannah today who did exactly that!! :)

Poor communication. Untrustworthy.

Poor communication, over-priced, can not be trusted.
I was promised delivery of my bin on the 14th of May. Never received it, and when enquired about the delivery, I was told that I would receive the bin on the 22nd. For £58 p/m premium subscription I expected more….better. I now feel forced to look for alternatives and have received more cost effective quotes, with sooner delivery.

Sohphie K was very patient

Sohphie K was very patient. My so called account manager Lynda Page was inaccessible and the drivers were not collecting the bins. Sophie coordinated with the depot and tried to resolve the issue. I had recently renewed with Veolia but have already requested the renewal to be cancelled as I am still within the cooling off period. Thanks Sophie for all your help.

DONT BOTHER, THEY DONT COLLECT THE RUBBISH HALF THE TIME

There are so many departments - making it difficult to actually speak to the relevant person, however customer service from Beth Street was fantastic - she made sure all my queries were dealt with efficiently.

UPDATE: HOWEVER after speaking to multiple people to confirm my new schedule on multiple occasions to ensure a smooth operation it is still wrong. Absolutely awful service. After being on the phone for a long time yesterday being passed around departments i was also promised a collection yesterday after it was missed and SHOCK it still wasn’t collected. Amazing how much rubbish I have here despite paying for this service?!?!?! Never been so frustrated with a company

URGENT support on an accident

Hi All, I had a Veolia Truck crashing into my car parked in front of my house, the truck driver gave me a card with his details and Group Davies phone number to get the car fixed, so far upon sharing my detailes with Group Davies, they asked me to contact Veolia, not giving me a contact - the company website does not give me a clear path to who to contact - so i have that someone can help me - i really need to have my car fixed and or a replacement car. my car was parked - so i don't think it's fair and Group Davies does absolutely nothing. Thank you Maria Pires
