These neighborhoods are outside Fort Mill city limits and contracted with Carolina Disposal of Charlotte.Β TheΒ company is supposed to pickup every Monday and Thursday.

Eric Kinsinger called it quits with the company after they let his garbage sit for a month.

β€œIt looks disgusting and it’s ridiculous, I mean it looks like a war zone in here.” saysΒ Kinsinger.

Kisinger says now, they’re charging him a $25 cancellation fee and haven’t given him his money back for pre-paid services.Β He’sΒ been trying to call the garbage company.

WCCB reached out to Carolina Disposal ofΒ CharlotteΒ by phone and email, and got no response.

OnΒ December 31st theΒ company posted on their Facebook page a message saying they reason for the delay was due to a fire and having trucks repaired. Tuesday, they posted saying they were picking up in Indian Land and Fort Mill. Residents say they haven’t seen them.
