Signature Waste

Guess it is sort of odd to review a waste collection service, but, hey lots of new homeowners need to find a waste company when moving to a new location, right?
I am quite happy a year in with Signature. A few highlights why:
* Signature provides you with two high quality, oversized, rolling containers. One for trash, one for recycling. Most companies issue just on ok container, and maybe a small recycling box if you are lucky.
* My kids are supposed to put out the containers. Kids forget, and sometimes I (as backup) forget too. I have called Signature a couple times after watching the truck roll by my house. The dispatch and driver were super cool about swinging by again as long as the driver was still in my neighborhood. First class.
* I live in a neighborhood dense with little ones playing football outside, riding scooters/​bikes/​skateboards, etc. The drivers for Signature are very responsible drivers. I have never seen them behave like some of the other services who drive the truck like they stole it. (Watching a heavy truck do 15mph in excess on my street today was the catalyst for this post… Wanted to give credit for commercial drivers doing the right thing.)
* Signature is really, really good around Federal holidays. They rarely have to move your pickup day.
* Signature has the robot arm on the truck to pick up cans, which is pretty cool in my book.
There is one downside though to Signature. They pickup recycling every two weeks, and the day differs from your trash day. The large container makes this ok, but, it sucks if you forget to put it out and have to go 4 weeks for recycling.
