If I could give Sourgum zero stars I…

If I could give Sourgum zero stars I would. I ordered a 10 yard dumpster that was the smallest dumpster I had ever seen. While I had it for 2 weeks they dropped the dumpster off at 3 pm on the first day which meant I couldn’t do much that day. Then I ended up having emergency surgery so I couldn’t fill the dumpster up in time so my dumpster was half empty. Then I get charged another $111 because they claimed my dumpster was over the weight … I had no furniture in there just cardboard boxes and old lawn ornaments. It was a total fraud to say the least the dumpster was smaller than what I ordered the dumpster was half full with non heavy items and then they can just claim that it was overweight and just charge you whatever more money they want. Total fraud do not use them!!!!!!

Thank you sharing your second experience with us, Yasmin. We want to assure you that our weight calculations are based on the official weight tickets provided by state-regulated facilities. These facilities adhere to strict regulations and employ certified scale masters who ensure the accuracy and reliability of the weighing process. We rely on their expertise and equipment to determine the weight of the waste being disposed of. A copy of the ticket was sent you upon the completion of your rental.

Please do not hesitate to contact us! We are committed to addressing your concerns and hope to provide a better experience next time.

DUMPSTER RENTAL

The deliver was right on time and pickup came a few hours early but it was ready to go. The only reason it wasnt a 5 star rating was there was still trash from previos rental in dumpster. Wet school books, magazines, house hold items. About 5 contrator bags (20 gallon) at 20 to 30lbs each by the time i bagged it up. It took about 30 minutes to clean it up then start my job. Other wise staff, call backs and scheduling were great. Thanks i will use you again and recommend you.

Glad I Gave Them a Chance!

I recently used SourGum Waste and had a very positive experience. Initially, I was a bit hesitant to go with them because of some negative reviews I came across, but I’m glad I gave them a chance.

Their pricing was the most reasonable out of all the companies I looked into, and the customer service was excellent throughout the process. Communication was clear and timely, which made coordinating everything much easier.

While they did miss the original scheduled pickup date, they were quick to apologize and arranged for the dumpster to be picked up the very next business day. I appreciated the accountability and how smoothly they handled the delay.

Overall, SourGum delivered on what they promised and made the process hassle-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Kendrick Evans is AWESOME!

My account executive Kendrick Evans has been absolutely amazing! I needed a dumpster quote for 3 separate projects, and he sent me over the quotes the same day! I love that this is a 1 stop shop for all our dumpster needs. I highly recommend Sourgum, and a HUGE thank you to Kendrick for making my life soooo much easier!

Dumpster delivered on time all three times and picked up with ease. Everyone I spoke with was very helpful and pleasant. The only thing I did not like was having to leave a message each time, but to be fair someone called me back very quickly each time. I would highly recommend Sourgum

Thank you for your feedback, Jon. At Sourgum, transparency is a top priority, and we strive to keep our customers informed about all pricing and potential fees in our order confirmations. Overage charges from the disposal facility are something we must unfortunately pass along when they occur. We assure you the tickets are provided to us by state regulated facilities. We appreciate your understanding and hope to service you again.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Moshe. We advised you that all inclusive pricing included the weight limit of 3 tons and included rental days within your rental. If you were to go over the included weight we advised that you would be responsible for the extra materials that were disposed of at the facility. The final weight in the container was 5.75 tons which made you responsible for 2.75 tons of weight.

Our goal is to provide clear and transparent information to our customers, helping them understand the factors that contribute to their final bill.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to reach out.

Thank you for your feedback, John. We strive to provide timely service with real-time situations. We understand that the removal of your container was delayed due to an early closure of the disposal facility. Regarding the multiple abandoned calls you had with us on the day of delivery, we appreciate your patience with us during the busy Monday and we had been playing phone tag with you along with being in touch with our dispatch in real time for an estimated time of arrival. During the busy season we are unfortunately at the mercy of lines at facilities and traffic.

We appreciate your feedback and would appreciate the opportunity to make your experience a positive one. Please, If you have any further questions or need additional assistance don’t hesitate to reach out.

I had an outstanding experience working with Kelley Kirkland at Sourgum Waste. She went above and beyond to make sure I received a same-day drop, and she didn’t stop working until she made it happen. Her communication was excellent, and her commitment to getting the job done right and fast was impressive. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and delivers on their promises, Kelley is the one to call. Highly recommend!
