So I share a 64 Gallon blue recycle bin with two other apartments, lately due to the Pandemic all our bins were getting filled much quicker than usual since everyone's at home. This is understandable.
So I decided to get the 96 gallon recycling bin to alleviate the problem.
When I logged onto the Recology website and pulled up my account, I checked my bill to see what services I was paying for and what the 96 gallon would cost us per month extra. (I am on auto pay)
That is when I noticed we were already paying for a 96 gallon bin, being a little confused, I checked previous bills, going back over a year and low and behold we have being paying for a 96 gallon bin for several years now.
I contacted Recology, after a bit of back and forth due to the customer service rep being a little confused, I finally got a manager.
This is what they told me.
"Our standard company policy for billing disputes for residential accounts is one billing period."
(One billing period is three months, I've had the same size 64 gallon bin for more than 5 years)
So my question is, can they just keep several years of overcharges leaving me with no recourse.
