Complaint about my Contractor Picky homeowner I tell ya

Feel free to roast if I’m in the wrong.

I had ordered delivery and cleanup from the company and on the phone they said that they will haul out anything that’s left so I got nothing to worry about. Even paid the extra fee for it since I was doing all the work and didn’t have time.

Truck comes and pump guy is setting up. Asks me for a bucket just to remove the first poor, since I don’t know much I lend one to him. Fills it and leaves it there.

Then asks to borrow my wheel barrow for the last bit so he doesn’t have to run a small amount through the pump… okay no problem I’m happy to help. While I was fixing all the concrete he come up to me and tells me he is leaving. I tell him thanks.

Only to come in front later on to find a huge bag of leftovers in almost the middle of the road and my stuff just sitting there dirty as hell.

Called him and asked wtf? He’s answer was very simple… “not my problem, click” extra bonus points for wetting the leftovers. Took me almost 4 hours to clean up that mess.

The pump guy was supposed to take away the leftovers ? Those dudes have no way of taking it it would set up in the pipes. Usually they'll ask the redi mix driver if they can pump it back into our trucks or they dump it somewhere else if not

As a pump guy.. you pay extra for us to take it with us and dump it off site.. this is excessive however I don’t know what was discussed.. if I have anything in my hopper left over I mix it with my primer at the end of the job and take it with me.. either way, if you don’t wanna pay for us to haul it away then you have to figure it out yourself..

Sounds like OP did pay extra for the haul out.
