4 months agoWe have been with McMurtry for 15+ years. They are the best around. We have never had an issue with our service. I have contacted them over the years and asked various questions and they have always answered in a timely manner and taken care of whatever we needed. Luckily, I don't live in an area where my trash service is provided by the city, but if I did, I would not accept the city service and would still pay McMurtry to take care of our trash. It is worth every penny. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for all that you guys do!! -

4 months agoWASTE MANAGEMENT/ REPUBLIC SERVICES is worth the extra $25 I used McMurtry for three years. They're kind of hit or miss. My friends that lived down the street have also had their trash skipped a few times but the 1 time I call because I wasn't going to make it another week the customer service Argued with me and said That my trashcan wasn't out. Then showed me a video, but the video they had was of them driving down the opposite side of the street. 100% do not recommend them very rude customer service And they are not a reliable company -

6 months agoAccording to Nashville's Metropolitan Code, no person shall empty or remove any containers used for garbage or rubbish between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., if those containers are within 300 feet of any residential building or structure. These codes are here to protect the public from be woken up by your noisy trucks. Metro Code 10.20.072. -

8 months agoWe love J.E. McMurtry Disposal. The drivers are nice and courteous, and wave to our daughter every morning when she comes out to see them work. They even gave her a mini toy bin. They're on time and also leave the bins back where we had them. You don't always see services take the few seconds to do that. I'm really glad our neighborhood is using JE. Thanks! -

8 months agoWe have used them as our garbage/recycle company for over 3 years and the only reason we are leaving them is due to moving. They sent out monthly reminders to put out recycling (thank goodness was because I can tell you I would have forgotten sometimes) and were very communicative about service interruptions (bad weather or holidays if impacting the route). The bins were always left standing at the end of the driveway where we left them (not fallen over or messy). Occasionally I would forget to take the trash to the street and bin was full, and they would check it and dump it. I was always grateful that they took the time to check if I forget to take it to the street. They are also very quick to respond to emails whenever I had questions or requests. I highly recommend them!! Also you can follow them in Facebook for updates and information. They are great about posting helpful information. Keep up the great work, guys!! You are so appreciated by your customers.
