Scotwaste Reviews

What people say about delivery

Delivery and collection performance is severely problematic, with the vast majority of customers reporting missed appointments, unexplained delays, broken promises, and lack of communication. Customers consistently describe facing weeks-long waits for collections, repeated false assurances from office staff that drivers are on the way, and no apologies or explanations when commitments are not met.

Scotwaste Prices

Pricing is cited as competitive and a key draw for customers, yet this advantage is consistently undermined by severe operational failures. Poor communication, missed collections, broken promises and unprofessional office staff mean that low costs ultimately prove poor value when customers face extended delays, wasted time and unresolved complaints.

What people say about service & professionalism

Overall assessment of the company is overwhelmingly negative, with customers describing unreliable service, repeated failure to deliver or collect on scheduled dates, and poor communication throughout their experience. Staff professionalism is frequently criticised, particularly around rudeness and dishonesty, with many customers reporting they would not recommend the operator and have switched to competitors.
