From start to finish, our waste audits are designed to fit your companies’ unique waste and utility concerns. As a result, our audits are remote and efficient. Our audits do not require more than just a few hours work from you or your employees.
We often ask companies to think of this commitment in terms of the tradeoff: is just a few hours work on your end worth the potential payoff of a 10% minimum reduction of your monthly waste expenses? For our clients, the answer is almost always yes!
Let’s take a closer look at how our audits are convenient.
Our waste and utility audits are remote.
The majority of our audits are completely remote. This has always been how we functioned, but it’s something we’re especially grateful for now. As of publishing, many areas of the country are still suffering from Covid-19. Hundreds of thousands of employees are still working from home, and many expect to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
We can review waste streams and equipment and find the right solutions for you 100% remotely.
First, we use google maps and google earth to look at the location of dumpsters on your property. We can often verify sizes and the number of dumpsters simply through googling your facility.
Second, your documentation shows exactly where your real needs lie. Your service agreement tells us about your terms, pricing, and auto-renewal clauses. Your invoices show us the hauler’s record of service levels, equipment, rates, fees and pattern of overage charges.
These two resources give us a clear picture of what your needs really are and how your current waste and recycling disposal processes are aligned with and meeting those needs.
And just to really be sure that we’ve accurately diagnosed your waste disposal problems, we almost always will get in touch with each site’s manager to verify service levels and equipment on site. We’ll also ask questions about seasonal variance and possible waste solutions. We often find that site managers can give a level of detail that open up other avenues of savings.
A remote exhaustive audit is possible with this solutions-oriented approach.
Our waste and utility audits are efficient.
We’re committed to helping you make the best use of your time. So we like to set expectations for exactly how much time you and your team can expect to contribute to our initial audit project.
10 minute discovery call
20 minute zoom presentation to learn about our process
1-2 hours compiling invoice and service agreement information
1-2 hours over 3 months verifying data, or answering questions
1 hour going over audit findings and savings report
In sum, you or your staff will most likely spend a mere 4 hours contributing information to the process.
What you have to decide is whether those 4 hours are worth it when compared to your returns.
Can putting in that time result in savings for me?
In short, yes. If you spend $10,000 total in your portfolio of locations on waste and recycling expenses, we’re 90% sure you’re sitting on savings. We can’t guarantee that there will be savings every time, but we do typically save companies 10-35% on their waste and recycling expenses on average.
Other companies who put in those 4 hours have saved $114,000, and $126,000 annually on their waste spend. Take a look below to see what some of these companies had to say about working with us.
We know that there’s a 90% chance you’re like the companies above! You’re almost certainly overspending - the question is whether you want to commit those 4 hours to doing something about it.
Your time is valuable. Be proactive about protecting it, and make sure get returns on any time you invest.
Our audit process makes it easy for you to do both.
