    I have to give a huge shoutout to Associated Refuse, and the owner Pat. Our neighbor has a long and narrow driveway that runs parallel to ours and continues past our house. Every Monday morning at approximately 4am, Associated Refuse would back up their driveway, lights flashing and backup warning beeping all the way up to the neighbor’s house. This would wake up my school age children hours before they had to get up for school and cause them to start the school week exhausted. We tried talking with the neighbors, explaining the situation and asking if they could bring their garbage bins to the road to avoid the garbage truck having to back up their driveway. The neighbors were unwilling to work out a solution with us, so in desperation I called Associated Refuse and spoke with the owner, Pat. Pat was extremely sympathetic to our situation and promised he would switch the pickup time to later in the day. True to his word, the following Monday the garbage truck didn’t back up the neighbors driveway until after 8:30. Words can’t properly convey how grateful I am that Pat would be so thoughtful and kind. To be fully transparent, we aren’t even customers. Pat truly knows what it means to be a good neighbor and give back to the community. This is a company and an owner with a heart.
