I work for Providence: A Christian Montessori Community. Ideal Trash is who we use and they are awesome! We wanted to change and our previous trash provider was giving us so much trouble canceling our contract. Crystal with Ideal stuck through it all with us! Now we have a great trash company at a great price! They saved us headache and money!
