What customers say

Real reviews from Cedar Rapids customers

I recently moved and needed to rid of old furniture. They guided me through the whole process from delivery to pickup. I didn’t have to stress about anything. Very friendly and professional crew. The quote was as they said and I didn’t get charged with hidden fees. I would easily use them again!

Our management company has used ABC Disposal for most of our properties trash removal. Any issues we have had beyond our control or ABC’s, have been worked out together. They are a great part of our team.

D&S Disposal was wonderful to work with. From office personnel to delivery guy, all were professional, polite and efficient! We’ll definitely use them again in the future!
