Getting Started with Your GFL Account: A Step-by-Step Guide
Setting up your GFL account is simple. Follow these steps:
Visit the GFL MyAccount Website: Go to the official GFL website (gflenv.com) and locate the "My Account" section. This is your central hub for managing your service.
Create Your New GFL Account: Use your current address. GFL's system should automatically recognize your previous Boxx Garbage service history, simplifying the process.
Update Your Payment Information: If you used automatic payments with Boxx Garbage, re-enroll with GFL's system to maintain uninterrupted billing.
Verify Your Service Details: Review your collection schedule, service type (trash only, trash and recycling, etc.), and address to ensure accuracy. Confirm that everything matches your previous Boxx Garbage service.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
While the transition is designed to be seamless, occasional issues might arise. Here's how to address them:
Address Not Showing: Contact GFL customer service directly if your address isn't found on their website. They can assist with adding your address manually.
Account Creation Difficulties: If you experience problems creating your online account, GFL's customer service can guide you through the process.
Billing Discrepancies: Before contacting GFL, review your account details. If the issue persists, contact customer service for assistance with billing errors.
Key Differences between Boxx and GFL Services
While GFL aims for continuity, minor differences may exist:
Billing Cycle: Your billing cycle might slightly change. It's likely similar but not identical to your Boxx Garbage cycle.
Collection Day: Your garbage collection day could shift slightly. GFL will try to maintain Boxx's schedule, but minor adjustments are possible.
Customer Service Contact: You'll use GFL's customer service contact information (phone number and online portal) moving forward.
