Short waste and recycling contract terms of 3 years allow for frequent reevaluation of rates compared to other area companies. Longer 5 year contracts mean missing out on potential savings as rates change. Shorter terms every 3 years ensures continually reviewing options and renegotiating contracts to ensure competitive prices. Signing up with a waste management ally who tracks contract expiration dates helps take advantage of savings opportunities.

1. Why do Short Waste Contract
Terms Results in Savings?
Presented by:
Andrea Suarez

2. Short contract terms
allow us to frequently
reevaluate your current
rates in comparison
with available rates.

3. It gives us the
opportunity to help you
take advantage of the
best rates in your area as
often as possible.

4. How long are most
waste and recycling
contracts?

5. Most waste and recycling
service agreements or
contracts are 5 years in
length, though some are 3.

6. It’s really convenient to
sign a contract and not
have to worry about it for
another 5 years.

7. What’s not convenient
are the savings
opportunities that this
contract all but
guarantees you’ll miss!

8. How do long contract
terms make me overpay?

9. 5 year terms are too long
because they can ensure that
you pay for waste disposal
and recycling services at a
higher rate than other area
companies.

10. The rates that other
area haulers charge
will change (and
possibly improve) in
the time it takes your
contract to expire.

11. If you’re four years in
to a five year
contract, you won’t
get the chance to
employ a new area
hauler who is
charging you a third
less than your
current vendor.

12. With a waste ally on
their side, our clients
don’t have to worry
about missed savings
opportunities.

13. We track every client
contract expiration
date, and are ready to
renegotiate contracts or
find other haulers as
necessary.

14. The vast majority of
the contracts we
negotiated have short
terms of three years
and typically have no
auto-renewal clause of
those terms.

15. This means that we
can continue to review
your area hauler
options and
renegotiate your
waste hauler
contracts continually
in the future.

16. Every three years, we
will continue to evaluate
your service rates and
your haulers to ensure
you are paying
competitive prices.

17. We almost always will
request pricing bids from
area haulers, even if you
are thrilled with your
service.

18. If you’re already under
contract with a hauler
and you are nearing the
end of your contract, this
is the perfect time to
renegotiate your terms.

19. Haulers are much more
willing to acquiesce to
your request for different
terms if they know
there’s a chance they
might lose your
business.

20. I have long waste
contract terms. What
can I do?

21. You can set calendar
reminders to review
your rates and cancel
your auto-renewal
clause.
