Testimonials
"The collection crews are generally excellent, very polite, friendly and professional."
"There was a possible issue of not being able to have the blue sacks for general waste. Once speaking with the team at GCSW, they could see that these sacks were required at this business and with no hesitation made sure they were delivered to our premises. Thank you!"
"I got an excellent and personalised customers service."
"The service staff always respond to my queries, in this instance the crew went above and beyond. We had students leave on the Saturday and contaminated all the bins, which the crew couldn't take, but they returned later in the day and actually took far more waste than they were contractually obligated to. The crew helped to refill bins as we had hundreds of loose bags."
"Always been very helpful"
"Very helpful teams, good service, thank you."
"Thank you very much for your swift actions in arranging the replacement of the bins. Very impressed by the efficiency and effectiveness of your service."
