Situation

Waste Metrics reached out to a QSR franchisee in California with 8 locations in Los Angeles County, to present our services. The franchisee was using multiple haulers. When we first reached out, the franchisee was under the impression that all his locations were located in a waste franchise territory (when a city signs an exclusive contract with one trash company at set rates).

Waste Metrics performed a free waste audit.

Audit

We determined that out of 8 locations, two of them were not in a franchise territory. This confusion led the franchisee to experience multiple large price increases over the years. The franchisee was also not in compliance with local mandates about food waste recycling.

Results

Waste Metrics leveraged its existing book of business and relationship with the trash companies to secure a 38% savings at one location and 9% at the other, or a little over $9,000 in annual savings between the two locations.

The new cost also included the implementation of a food waste recycling program to be in compliance with California’s AB 1826 requiring businesses generating a specific amount of trash weekly to implement such program.

No hauling company was changed.

His invoice now shows an all-inclusive fixed monthly cost and has a long-term controlled price protection. He also opted to have his different trash bills consolidated into one clear invoice listing the different restaurant locations he oversees.
