“Am I best friends with Hayley? The experience getting set up for service with her was incredible. She’s witty, answers questions with lots of detail (so you don’t have as much follow up!), and definitely sold me on using Gretna Sanitation over competitors. So while I’m not BFFs with Hayley in real life; we did have a good trash talk session together.”

“Our SID has graciously decided to cover our trash service! But it is with another company:( Mike has been a rockstar collector for Gretna and we will miss him! Email communications with Maggie have always been timely and helpful. Our new service can only hope to compare! Again thank you!”
