A Winnipeg business owner is fuming after being overcharged by a private garbage operation for something he says he didn’t do. Brad Wallin, president of Wall…

  • Police should be contacted and the WM should be investigated for this fraud. I have no doubt they’ve been doing this to more of their customers.

    The driver in the video is CLEARLY trying setting up a scam, and the company truck is right there! Instead of doubling-down on their denial, they should have fired the driver and profusely apologize to this guy for the driver’s actions!

  • At my last corporate account (restaurant), the trash company set up by our client used to dump excess on the ground around the dumpsters -think of the dumpster on the forklift tines halfway up, then stopped and started in jerking motions, and then dumped I to the hopper. AND THEN charge us for over filling…

    Best part was my staff had to clean it back up.

    Another dumpster? Not possible says the clinet.

    Both top tier asshole companies.

    We had something similar happen a few times. We even got a padlock from the dumpster company to prevent people from dumping their crap in our bin, but the drivers never re-locked it after emptying the bin, and the lock got lost/stolen within a couple of weeks.

      That’s not what happened here. The driver, on video, is clearly tampering with the bin to stage an “overfill” so the company can charge more. It’s 100% fraud, and the police should have been contacted.
