if waste management hauls your trash for your business they have already breached their contract with you. their price increases happen more frequently than annually which whattheir contract calls for. In addition if you have recylcing services, they charge you aa "recycling maintennance offset fee" or rmo which was never included as part of the contract. The fuel surcharge is calculated on top of your bas rate AND your other surcharges which inflates it even higher.
The best thing you can do is get a quote from another hauler (most are 25-40% cheaper) and stop paying your WM bill. They will threaten you with collections calls and "liquidated damages" buti n the end they will just remove your container.
This company is only concerned with meeting Wall St and getting their managment bonus by getting as many Customers to pay inflated prices and hoping you are not smart enough to get rid of them.
