Not everything in life should be hard. But choosing to have a WCI audit is easy.
Why? Because a WCI audit:
Is Risk-free
Protects your time
Is cash-flow positive
Is non-invasive
Consistently finds savings
Our audits make your life - and your staff’s lives - easier. We’re in the business of solving waste problems; not adding to your already full plate.
Our Waste Disposal Audits are Risk Free
You incur zero risk by putting our expertise to use.
The worst case scenario? We don’t find any savings. (This has happened 5% of the time over the 18 years we’ve been in business.
And if we don’t find savings, you don’t pay us. Essentially, you get a free audit and the assurance that you’re managing your waste efficiently.
We don’t think you should pay for something that you don’t profit from.
You only stand to gain from a WCI waste audit.
Our Waste Audits Protect Your Time
We protect your time in our audit process, and in our post-audit process.
Audit Process Time Commitment is Minimal
We know time is your greatest asset. So here’s rundown of how much time you (or your staff) can expect to contribute to our partnership.
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. Companies who put in those 4 hours have saved $114,000, and $126,000 annually on their waste spend.
We know that there’s a 90% chance you’re overspending - the question is whether you want to commit those 4 hours to doing something about it.
Post-Audit Process Time Commitment is Even Less
Or, to put it another way, is it worth it to put in those 4 hours so that you and your staff don’t have to put in the hours fixing never-ending loops of waste issues? Because the other way we protect your time is by monitoring your bills and taking care of service issues. After our audit process is complete and the savings are hitting your bottom line, we protect your savings.
Errors occur on your invoices 10% of the time. Are you catching them?
You can get the short end of the stick when it comes to service issues. Get a waste ally who knows the industry.
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.
Our Waste Audit is Cash-Flow Positive
Our services are guaranteed to be cash-flow positive.
This means two things:
Again, you only pay us when we find savings. If we don’t find any savings whatsoever on your account, you don’t pay us a dime. You will only pay us when we find and implement precise solutions for you.
Our fees are strictly derived from your savings. If we save you $12,000 every month, we get $6,000 of that. If we save you $500 every month, we get $250 of that. You’re still saving - and you pay us to continue to protect your savings.
This means that our services are not an added budgetary expense. You don’t have to get a few thousand dollars in overhead approved so that you can employ us to get your waste expenses under control. We’re paid out of the savings we find - which motivates us to find the most savings we can for you.
Our Process Happens Offsite
We’ve tailored what we do to require minimum time and effort from you and your staff. So for the vast majority of our clients, we complete our audit process completely remotely. There are a few reasons this is possible.
First, we use google maps and google earth to look at the location of dumpsters on your property. We don’t necessarily have to go on site to verify certain aspects of your waste disposal and recycling process.
Second, your documentation usually gives a clear picture of your current waste needs. Your service agreement will tells us about your terms, pricing, and auto-renewal clauses. Your invoices will show us the hauler’s record of service levels, equipment, rates, and fees.
We typically follow up with phone calls to each site’s manager to verify service levels and equipment on site. We’ll also ask questions about seasons variance and what waste and recycling needs really are at their particular site. We often find that site managers can give a level of detail that open up other avenues of savings.
A remove exhaustive audit is possible with this solutions-oriented approach.
Consistently finds savings
Over the 18 years we’ve been in business, we’ve found that most mid to high level companies are overspending on their waste. The exact number hovers above 90%.
So when we partner with you, we do so knowing that there’s a high rate of success. We know we’ll likely deliver substantial savings.
Our clients are sometimes skeptical about whether we can deliver. But we do.
Take Tad Dolbier of Tar Heel Capital. As the owner of 75 Wendy’s restaurants, Tar Heel wanted to reign in their waste and recycling expenses.
Tad had already tried to reign in spending, but he was still sitting on savings. He just didn’t have the market knowledge he needed to find all the opportunities, so he put our expertise to use.
In the first month of invoice post-implementation, he saw gross savings of $6,800 a month. He wrote us: “When you came back to me with $6800 each month in savings, as well as significant refunds from over billing, I was truly impressed and grateful!”
We don’t just find savings in manufacturing and the food industries. We’ve also had huge success with multi-family housing.
Scott Alderman of Landura Management (a multi-family management company), got in touch and wanted us to evaluate his waste spend. There were a lot of variables: 4,500 units in 9 states. They had different waste vendors and lots of bad contracts. The logistics were complicated.
But even though these variables were a challenge, our approach remained the same. We looked for savings opportunities, and we found them.
After they were implemented, Scott was able to report back to us: “The recommendations you implemented resulted in these expenses being reduce by 25%.” His gross savings? $116,000 each year. That adds up fast!
Our clients know our audits are thorough and our process works.
Getting a Waste Audit is Easy
We’ve structured our waste audit process to be easy and risk free.
If we don’t find savings, you’ll pay nothing.
When we do find savings, you’ll pay us out of those savings.
And our process involves minimal interference with you and your team.
