Waste Management of Pittsburgh
Certified mail requirement made me miss 90 day cancellation window

Miscellaneous

Have been trying to cancel my Waste Management contract. Can only cancel 90 to 180 days by written communication. So I write a letter to cancel service only to find out the letter must be CERTIFIED MAIL. Now I have missed the 90 day window by 14 days and they want to charge me almost $400 to cancel service. Just not right! Nothing in the contract allows for termination unless it is on Waste Management's terms. Horrible to do business with. DON'T EVER SIGN A CONTRACT! Now I have to decide whether I want to stay for 3 more years of forever increasing costs, pay the $400, or fight in court. It is just wrong!
