Terms & Conditions

Stuff Our Lawyers Want You To Know

We provide our Services on an “as is” and “where as” basis. You may cancel at anytime without any penalty (Unless you are under a commercial contract).

You pay for the service of garbage pickup ("Service") and we agree to pick up your garbage on the scheduled date on an as is basis. Sometimes this might change do to circumstances beyond our control. However over the last 2 years we have maintained a 100% pickup rate on our customers scheduled date.

We do not guarantee a pick up time, but will endeavour to pick up your garbage during our normal operational hours. Sometimes depending on weather, traffic and Acts beyond our control this may be later or earlier than expected. If the rare event where we miss a pickup we will do our best to come back. If there is Acts of god - we may have to come back on a different day. (We will do our best to notify you in advance where possible) but acts of God may delay our services and in such cases you agree not to hold GarbageBuddy liable.

Waste must be put out by 7:00AM for residential and 6:00AM for commercial or multi tenant properties.

We follow all waste regulations for the disposal of trash and recyclables as set forth by your City. That means we expect you to do the same. If you are not sure what you can put out in your garbage/recycling, please check out your local City’s waste management website for all the rules and regulations. We have the right to refuse service at all times and our services are subject to availability.

We reserve the right to cancel your service at anytime. That means if you leave us a pile of bricks or try to fit cement blocks into garbage bags and expect us to pick it up- we won’t. If you abuse our service - we are unable to provide you with any refund. We provide a service and expect the reasonable use and enjoyment of our services by our customers. Anything excessive just can not be tolerated and we will either let you know with a courtesy call or you might just find when you arrive home your garbage is still there with a friendly note on it. In the event where there is a dispute which we are found liable the maximum liability that we have to you is $20.00 (or the amount of money you would have paid to GarbageBuddy for 1 day of service).

At no time will GarbageBuddy be liable for any consequential or inconsequential damages as a result of our services or failure to provide service or liable for any damage however caused when providing services to you. If you miss our service, because you put out your garbage late, we will do our best to come back (if we can) either the same day or on our next pickup in your area. Please note that we treat all our customers like we would want to be treated, however if we come to pick up, and you slept in and missed a GarbageBuddy pick up, we can't refund you. However as mentioned previously we will do our best to re-accommodate you with a courtesy pickup.

Customer assumes all liability, costs and risks for any property damage caused as a result of or associated with the service. GarbageBuddy is not responsible for any property damage or damage caused to vehicles as a result of our service. Customer is advised to keep areas around bins clear. This includes but is not limited to vehicles, equipment and other items that may get destroyed or damaged while we carry out our services.

Residential customers without a contract may cancel a monthly service at anytime by notifying us at least 5 business days prior to your next pickup so that we may have time to remove you from our schedule. For annual residential plan members you may cancel at anytime. Please note that if you are an annual plan member and you cancel prior to the end of your term your service will be prorated based on the current monthly price. For residential customers on a monthly plan you must cancel before your next billing cycle or before you have had a pick up in that month. If you require only one pickup in that month and cancel mid month you will be charged the full monthly rate. Please note that all refunds process within 7 to 10 business days back to the original payment method on file.

For commercial customers, condo's, multi residential units, property management offices, where a contract is in place the Terms of the Contract together with these Terms & Conditions govern your service. There is no termination for convenience. In the event of termination or early cancelation, the customer is required to buy out the remaining balance of the contract which you agree may be automatically charged to your payment method on file upon notice of cancellation or potential default.

All payments are due and must be received on the first of the month to avoid interest charges and administrative fee's. In the event where any client is in arrears we will suspend services until payment in full has been received. A suspended services for non-payment does not relieve customers of their contract liabilities. We will attempt to work with all clients to provide uninterrupted services however the final decision is that of Garbage Buddy as to suspend or continue services pending receipt of payment.
