How are you able to reduce my waste removal costs by so much?

There are many inefficient processes in the waste industry, resulting in companies paying for excessive service and needlessly harming the environment. Waste Remedies has spent the last 13 years identifying these inefficiencies for clients ranging from multi-family housing communities to office buildings and retail space. As a result, we have developed a business model that customizes waste removal programs to optimize efficiencies based on the size, type and location of the properties. This, combined with the current buying power of over 2,000 properties and long relationships with haulers throughout the country, allows us to negotiate the lowest rates for the optimum service.

What specifically do you do?

Waste Remedies uses a three-tiered approach to evaluating a property's waste removal program. We work on your behalf to renegotiate hauler rates, right-size containers and collection schedules, and review recycling opportunities. This combination usually results in significant savings, potentially up to 40% of the baseline costs.

How much additional work is required of my staff to achieve these savings?

Actually, the ongoing workload will be reduced for your property management staff for as long as the Waste Remedies consulting agreement is in place. Our invoice auditing department will audit every invoice to ensure that your waste service providers are in compliance with hauler and vendor agreements. If there are any discrepancies, Waste Remedies will investigate and resolve any disputes on your behalf. Once approved, the invoices are then forwarded to you for payment. Additionally, our service department resolves any and all service issues with the haulers on your behalf for the term of the agreement. A simple phone call from your property manager is all that's needed and our customer service team takes it from there.

Some of our properties are located in franchised areas. Aren't they locked into their rates?

Yes, the properties must pay the rate stated by law. However, there are still steps we can take to significantly lower costs, including adjusting the collection schedule, changing container size and recycling. Actually, some of our biggest savings come from franchised areas because property managers think that they are "locked in" to their waste removal costs.

What if you don't find any significant savings? Do I still have to pay you?

Waste Remedies takes an average of a property's last three monthly waste removal invoices to calculate a monthly baseline cost. The new pricing is then compared to this baseline to determine the amount of savings.
