Good Service!
Following an enquiry, the service we received from Raquel was excellent. The response time was very quick and the information provided honest and clear. Only missing out on 5 stars due to a longer than desired lead time for service, however this has been communicated well.

I would not recommend Ellgia based on my experience.
We originally contracted with Bakers Waste Services, and our experience with Ellgia has been extremely disappointing. We have been informed that our contract has automatically renewed, despite being unable to locate any clear agreement or documentation showing that we accepted an automatic renewal clause.
When questioned, the focus appeared to be on enforcing renewal charges rather than resolving our concerns or providing satisfactory customer service. We have also found communication regarding the contract terms and renewal process to be unclear and frustrating.
If you are considering using this company, I would strongly advise you to carefully review all contract terms, particularly any clauses relating to renewals, notice periods, and cancellation requirements before signing.
Based on our experience, I would choose an alternative provider in the future.

Good Morning,
I am sorry to hear of your experience and would like to understand your issues further to enable me to review our processes fully and make any necessary corrections.
I would be grateful if you would contact me directly christine.heaver@ellgia.co.uk.
Rolling annual contracts are relatively standard in the waste industry and certainly the Ellgia Sales team explain this during the sign up process.
I look forward to hearing from you to fully understand your concerns.
Kind regards

Karl was polite and resolved my issue quickly. Missed collection in the morning due to a confusion, so he'd organised a recovery that same day in the afternoon. Life saver! Thank you.

Regular missed collections
Regular missed collections, due to staff sickness or lorry breakdowns. Claiming access problems after 9 months of no access problems, trying to reschedule collections but then never fulfilling these

We had a lot of issues with collections
We had a lot of issues with collections throughout the very warm weather in April/May/June last year (my last review was taken down so am going again). Repeatedly missed collections and never any communication as to when they weren't going to collect or indeed when they were gong to rectify - which to me was almost worse than the lack of collection.
I had to spend a lot of my time calling Ellgia to get them to actually collect our waste. We were often left with overflowing bins in hot weather and told to store waste until they could come. At a rural bakery site this put our business at risk. I pointed this out to Ellgia, but there was no change in their efforts to get to us.
I was also told that because of our location it made it very difficult to pick up missed collections on anything other than our set day. But that sounds like an Ellgia problem to me - not one I should have to deal with. Our location, by the way, is on an A-road between two mid-sized towns in Norfolk - hardly the Outer Hebrides
As a side note this is issue generally with privatised waste management companies - profits over customer care.
They "generously" severed my contract early (4 weeks) at my request but, honestly, the manager sounded relieved that I'd suggested it. This was then thrown back at me when I refused to pay a bill covering the terrible service - as thought they'd done me a favour - and they threatened legal action.
If you are considering using them, don't. I even had a better service with Biffa. I now use council operated waste management service with Breckland Council, who are excellent. Never a missed collection and extremely good customer care

Good Afternoon,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are very sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced with missed collections and the lack of communication during the warmer months last year. We recognise how disruptive this would have been, particularly for a food production business, and we fully understand the concerns you’ve raised around hygiene, storage, and business risk.
The period you reference coincided with exceptionally challenging operating conditions including staff shortages and vehicle availability issues, which unfortunately did impact service levels in some areas. That said, we acknowledge that our communication regarding missed collections and recovery arrangements fell short of the standard our customers should expect, and we regret the frustration this caused.
With regard to recovery collections, while servicing rural routes can limit flexibility outside scheduled days, we accept that this should not have felt like a burden placed on you as our customer. Your feedback on this point has been noted and shared internally as part of our service review process.
We also regret that the end-of-contract discussions left you feeling dissatisfied. The intention behind agreeing to an early termination was to resolve the situation pragmatically, not to diminish the concerns you had raised. We are sorry if this was not how it came across at the time.
While we are disappointed that we were unable to meet your expectations, we appreciate you taking the time to provide detailed feedback. Comments such as yours help us identify where improvements are needed, particularly around communication and customer support during service disruption.
We wish you every success with your current waste service provider and thank you for having been a customer.
Kind regards,
Christine Heaver
Beware company are dishonest and operate in bad faith. Contracts are worthless.
I have been with Ellgia for over 10years and have noticed a gradual decline in their service. I signed a 1 year contract which started in September 2025. On 1st December (3 months into the contract) they notified me of price increases of up to 64% on my 4 waste streams (an average of 51%). Customer service advised me over the telephone that they can increase prices mid term whenever they want to whatever amount they want and would send me a copy. There was no justification given initially but eventually I was given weak reasoning largely based on legislation that came into force 5 month prior to the commencement of the contract.
I managed to agree (I thought) to limit the increase to around 15%, however they invoiced more and were dishonest about what was agreed (even though it is in email).
The actual service is pretty poor, service days change often, collections missed, credits not being raised for aborted services.
In short, I wouldn’t consider using Ellgia in the future even if they offered a fixed price contract because the customer service is so poor, service levels are sub standard and Ellgia wlll operate in bad faith to boost their bottom line at your expense.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about your experience and disappointed that we’ve fallen short of the service you expected after such a long-standing relationship with us.
We take concerns about pricing, service reliability, and communication extremely seriously. Any contract price variations are governed by contractual terms and industry-wide cost pressures, and we always aim to explain these changes clearly and transparently. We regret if, in your case, this explanation was not provided in a timely or satisfactory manner, or if there was any misunderstanding regarding what was agreed.
We’re also sorry to hear about the service issues you’ve described, including missed collections, changes to service days, and delays in issuing credits. This is not the standard we strive to deliver, and your comments have been escalated internally for review.
We would welcome the opportunity to look into your account in detail, review the correspondence you’ve referenced, and address any outstanding issues directly. Please reply to me directly on the email sent to you yesterday.
We value long-term customers and are sorry that your experience has led you to feel this way. Your feedback is important to us and will be used to improve our service going forward.
Kind regards,
Christine Heaver
Commercial Bin Collections
We have used Ellgia for years, I dislike that they automatically renew the contract and require 90 days notice prior to cancel. We are in the midst of them not collecting our bins but saying they can't get to the bin. I'm unsure why as I am looking at the bin from my window and there is no reason they shouldn't be able to access this. We are so thoroughly fed up with the missed collections, we have a contract of service which they are not fulfilling, taking my time away from my work to have to deal with this week on week. Do not engage this company!

Good Morning, thank you for providing further information so that I have been able to investigate comprehensively.
All communication from our customer services team is provided in good faith and is based on the information that they have at the time. Having reviewed your historical services however, I can absolutely understand how our failures to deliver on our commitments has resulted in frustration, please accept my apologies for this. Ellgia do not always get everything right every time, but we do learn from our mistakes and take steps to remedy the route causes of issues, which in this case has been a combination of operational issues along side further training requirements being identified for some of our agents both from our operational system and also our standard processes.
I am truly sorry that we have failed to deliver on your expectations of us as your service provider, we are working with all of our teams to improve based on your feedback.
Kind regards

Dangerous driving and damage to property
The driver (who was delivering a skip to my neighbour) squeezed his truck down a narrow private road that was not wide enough for him, damaging trees. He then proceeded to turn the truck round in a tiny space with no passenger side wing mirror. He hit my car, and then my corner fence post on the way back out, and did not say a word. Because I didn't see it happen and only know it was him because there was no damage prior to his visit, and because he denied it to his manager, the company gave me their insurance details, which, without proof won't be of any use, and they did nothing else. They did promise to ring me to let me know when he was coming back to collect the skip though, so I could move my car out of harms way. They didn't bother to do this. If you want decent customer service, and if value your property, do not use this company, and pray your neighbours don't either!

Good Afternoon,
Further to your review, it is our standard practice to provide details of our insurers to third party claimants. I am following up and investigating why it is that the promised call to you was not made, so I can ensure that we have robust processes in place to prevent this type of failure from occurring in the future. That you were not directly our customer should not have made any difference when this commitment was made to you, so for this I can only apologise.
