Waste Audit/Review

“How Risky Are our Waste Audits?”

In all honesty, the majority of companies we work with have never heard of a waste audit prior to finding us. Many knew their waste and recycling disposal rates were high, and more than a few were frustrated with the lack of quality service and customer care.

But they didn’t necessarily know that a waste audit was the answer to their problems.

Trying a new solution can be uncomfortable for some companies, which is why we incur 100% of the risk. We don’t charge anything for the audit itself - we will only ever charge a client when our cost-cutting solution impact waste and recycling invoices. In other words, we only charge after you’ve started saving. (This method works - we find 10-35% savings for 90% of our clients.)

We incur this risk in two major ways.

1) Our audits are entirely self-funded.

2) We are paid only after you find savings.

Protecting your bottom line allows us to serve you best. Below, we’ll go into detail about each of the ways.

1) Our audits are entirely self-funded.

“Self-funded” means that we incur the initial expenses of performing the 1-3 month long audit. You don’t pay us during the initial investigation and analysis period; essentially making the audit itself free.

You don’t pay for:

  • Our review of your contracts

  • Our analysis of your invoices

  • Our evaluation of market prices

  • Our requisition of vendor bids

  • Our waste and recycling stream analysis

While our waste and recycling audits have a 90% success rate, we don’t think it’s fair for you to pay for a service that you are not directly benefiting from. You don’t pay for our analysis, you pay for our solutions - the real-world, cost cutting solutions that actually affect and benefit your bottom line.

2) We are paid only after you find savings.

Our services are guaranteed to be cash-flow positive.

If we find zero savings, you owe us nothing. If this is the case, you essentially get a free audit. You get the confirmation that your waste streams are running the way they should. You get the assurance that your waste equipment is running efficiently, and that your service levels are suited to your actual needs. You know that you aren’t sitting on any hidden savings opportunities - and you didn’t have to pay anything out of pocket in order to obtain this knowledge.

If we find savings, we share in them at a rate of 50%. If we find you $100,000 in savings a year, you’ll keep $50,000 and we will be compensated $50,000. This also means if we find no savings, you don’t owe us anything. So our services aren’t an additional expense since you pay us solely out of the savings we find for you.

We charge this flat rate because it keeps us accountable, and it provides you with the best services possible.

Ultimately, using performance-based pricing is in your best interest. It encourages a higher discovery of savings because it motivates us to find every opportunity available for you.

This model makes us better partners - we have a huge incentive to produce results.  So our audits aren’t cut and dry; they’re tailored to your industry, your location, and your unique needs.

This is exactly why our audits have such a high success rate. We know exactly how to find the expensive problems you have with your waste management. We know what questions to ask, and how to be persistent in finding creative solutions tailored to your needs. Our success is your success. The more savings we find, the more we all benefit.

Why are you willing to take on so much risk?

We’re willing to incur risk because we know there’s a 90% chance we’ll find waste and recycling savings at the locations in your portfolio. After 18 years of being in business, we know where to look for savings.

Do our audits really find savings? How much?

If you’re spending more than $10,000 a month on waste, we can likely help you save 20-40% on your annual waste and recycling spend. For some companies it will be a little less, for others, it will be more.

The actual percentage you save depends of course on the amount you’re currently spending on waste expenses.

Take Tad Dolbier, for instance. He had a gross savings of $6800 each month. Scott Alderman of Landura Management (multi-family management) is saving a total of $116,000 every year. We’ve found millions of dollars in savings for our clients - how much are you sitting on?

And Lisa Russell of Ardmore? Click the video below to find out how much she saved!

Why is the average savings percentage so dependable? 

We know these percentages are reliable because it’s the average amount of savings companies have saved with us for the past 18 years. We’ve become experts in finding the gaps in your current waste management process. We know where to find your biggest hidden savings opportunities, and we know how to fix them.

What if you don’t find any savings? 

On the rare occasion we find no savings, you don’t owe us a dime. When this happens, you get a free audit and the assurance that you’re managing your waste costs efficiently. You will only pay us when we find and implement precise solutions for you. 

Our services are guaranteed to be cash-flow positive. You only pay us out of the savings we find for you, so our services are not an added expense.

Our business model is unique, and we believe that it is one that is in your best interest. You take on zero risk to see if you are one of the 90% of companies nationwide who can stand to cut their waste expenses by 20-40%. Your odds are better than good that you’ll save - in fact, they’re great.

"What does your audit process look like?"

Our audits find savings conveniently and consistently. If you’re like 90% of companies nationwide, your waste contracts are the primary reasons you’re overspending on waste and recycling.

And to get any new contracts right - or to renegotiate old ones - we know we have to review every pertinent detail about every waste and recycling stream at every location.

Fortunately, we can do that remotely, and with inconvenience to your staff being kept to an absolute minimum.

To begin our audit, we request several key documents for each location in your portfolio:

  • Copies of current trash hauler contracts

  • Copies of the most recent invoice

  • A list of every location under review

The majority of our clients can assemble this information in just a few hours. Then, we take 60-90 day to thoroughly evaluate your current waste management process and find where your problems are.

We use google maps and google earth to look at the location of dumpsters on your property. The documentation you give usually tells us everything we need. Your current service agreement tells us about your terms, pricing, and auto-renewal clauses. Your historic invoices show us the hauler’s record of service levels, equipment, rates, and fees. 

Right off the bat, our analysts will know if you’re overpaying for a dumpster based on its monthly rate, or if you need to decrease frequency of pick-ups at a certain location.

But other information is not nearly so straightforward. For anything larger than a 8 yard dumpster, we have to evaluate your tonnage, and your frequency of pickup. Does your site really need to be serviced twice a week? Or is bi-weekly service actually ideal? We’ll also ask your site managers questions about your customer service experience. Your hauler may have great rates, but misses pick-up frequently - and doesn’t give billing credit. This is vital information, and we take it into account when we review your portfolio. 

We look for unexplained price hikes, and we look at usage trends. We also look at your service agreements. We’ll note expiration dates, and we’ll check to see if ancillary fees are limited or exempt. We’ll look for language that prohibits auto-renewals, and limits price increases to a certain percentage. 

Then, we’ll find other pricing options. We keep records of nationwide haulers, and we know equitable rates when we see them. Some of our clients profit from switching waste haulers, but for others, we renegotiate existing contracts for better rates. Our post-audit analysis will make it clear which option is more financially sound for you.

We make sure you don’t leave any savings opportunities on the table - which is why we have a success rate of over 90%. Read more about how our clients feel about their new found savings.

An exhaustive audit is possible with this solutions-oriented approach. Our clients know our audits are thorough and our process works - and they save big.
