Now Is Time to Examine Your Waste Removal Contracts

June 24, 2020

With COVID-19 impacting so many businesses, now is time to examine your waste removal contracts. Many companies have had to shut down due to recent health requirements, making cost-cutting efforts crucial for survival. We’ve found that looking at continuous bills is the best way to cut the fat on unnecessary services- this saves money and buys time until the restrictions are lifted. With Waste Metrics,we aim to help commercial businesses eliminate overpaying for waste and recycling services. We have helped large organizations, multi-location businesses and small local businesses benefit through our recycling programs and contractual negotiations.

Many businesses find themselves locked into one-sided & long-term service contracts that can be costlier and much less favorable than they should be. While under normal conditions, owners may not consider these rates a priority to look into. With companies only allowed to operate at a percentage of their potential, now is time to examine your waste removal contracts that have continued to run at the same rate prior to the shutdown.  Using our services, customers have realized savings anywhere from 20% to 60% on their waste removal expenses, without making any hauler or service changes.

Businesses Served

A gas station in San Ysidro, CA had been using the same hauler for 10+ years and experienced multiple large price increases. We found that this company had many Extra Yardage fees that were billed to his account. After two weeks of negotiation, Waste Metrics was able to save the customer over $6,000 annually, with an overall savings of 36%.

A manufacturing and distribution company had 10 locations in 3 different states (Ca, AZ and HI), serviced by 5 different haulers. We determined that the company experienced several large price increases over the years, and at some locations, the initial rates were clearly not negotiated. After a few weeks of negotiation, Waste Metrics was able to save the customer over $33,000 annually, with an overall savings of 30% across all 10 locations.
