1. How We Fix Common
Waste Problems
with Andrea Suarez, Digital Marketing Manager

2. “We provided you with our portfolio and you were
able to reduce our waste disposal expenses by
over 25% as a direct result of your knowledge,
industry contracts and tireless efforts.”
Rik Maxey, Community Management Corp

3. Can a waste audit really help you? Will it save
you money? Will it work?

4. Who better to answer these questions than
our clients! Throughout this presentation,
they'll share their thoughts on the waste
savings journey.

5. They represent different industries, and each
had waste issues unique to them.

6. But they all share one thing in common: they
suspected they could be overspending on their
waste expenses and they chose to do
something about it.

7. In this presentation, you’ll learn how
companies just like you found hidden waste
savings opportunities.

8. We’ll show you the three steps companies
took in their savings journey:
● “I could have hidden waste problems.”
● “WCI can find savings.”
● Savings achieved.

9. In the process, you'll learn what our waste
review process was like for them, and how
much they are saving or have saved as a result.
Ready? Let's dive in.

10. “I could have hidden
waste disposal
problems.”

11. About 90% of companies are overspending on
waste and they have no idea.

12. After 18 years in the business, we have found
that most companies overpay in one of the five
following ways:

13. 1. Your contract allows price
spikes.

14. Most haulers count on price hikes to increase
their revenue. They go above and beyond the
cost of servicing your account.

15. We’ve seen haulers raise prices as much as
four times a year at a 5-10% increase. These
incremental increases add up.

16. Your current waste contracts almost certainly
allow for this unless someone on your team
has proactively added language limiting or
prohibiting them.

17. 2. Your service levels and
equipment are inefficient.

18. Your waste equipment comprises every waste
and recycling receptacle serviced by your
hauler.

19. The efficiency of your waste equipment has a
direct impact on your waste spend.

20. If you don’t have the equipment you truly need,
or if you have too much equipment, you’ll
overpay.
About 70% of the clients we’ve worked with in
the past 18 years have been serviced too
frequently!

21. Rhonda Cummons of Presbyterian Homes
found herself in this exact position not too long
ago.

22. Every month, Rhonda was paying for too many
trash pickups - something we quickly put a
stop to. This contributed to a 22% reduction in
waste expenses!

23. And in January 2021, we helped a multi-family
complex save an average of $3200 every year
just by replacing their on-call waste dumpster
with an 8 yard dumpster that gets bi-weekly
service.

24. 3. You don’t know market rates
for waste and recycling services.

25. Haulers know you’re not likely to consult with
the restaurant across the street when you set
up your service contract.

26. They know that you’re not going to ask that
restaurant what their disposal rate is, or how
often they get price spikes.

27. They also know that you don’t know what
other area haulers are charging, and so you
can’t know if they’re overcharging you.

28. This is exactly what allows price gouging to
happen. If you’re in the dark about hauler
pricing, how can you tell what is fair?

29. 4. You’re paying ancillary invoice
fees.

30. Most waste invoices include several ancillary
fees. Most standard contracts neither limit nor
eliminate these fees.

31. With our assistance, the majority of our clients
pay a reduced fuel fee and administrative fee
on their contract.

32. Case in point - Rhonda Cummons! Not only did
we reduce pick-ups, but we eliminated every
additional fee on their contracts.

33. This contributed to her gross saving of
$25,000 on her yearly waste expenses. What
could you do with an extra $25,000?

34. 5. Your contract automatically
renews.

35. Waste needs often change over time, and
waste service levels may need adjusting.
About 95% of waste contracts we’ve seen
include automatic renewal of contract terms.

36. When we cancel the auto-renewal clauses for
our clients, it allows us the opportunity to find
better pricing with another hauler or to
renegotiate new contracts with your current
hauler.

37. We recently did this for a multi-family
management corporation called Camso.

38. Two of their locations had a faulty contract
that not only included an automatic renewal
clause, but it allowed for indiscriminate price
increases.

39. Cancelling these clauses will help us ensure
they are always with their ideally-priced
vendor.
