21. This method
provides you no
transparency.
You have to rely
on your broker
and trust that he
is being honest
with you.
22. Suppose your broker hands
you an invoice that is 30%
larger than last month’s
invoice.
23. Your broker may tell you
that waste hauler fees have
gone up, or that you had a
standard price hike at two
locations.
24. But in reality, your broker
may have decided that his
fees should increase.
25. Obscuring what you are
being charged opens the
possibility for unfair spikes
and charges to occur.
26. In order to prevent this, we
have a different standard
billing practice.
27. We set up ideal contracts,
service levels, and waste
equipment.
All bills for every waste,
recycling, and valet vendor
are sent to the appropriate
party at your company.
29. We will, however, audit those
invoices.
For most clients, we can
obtain online log-on
information from you or your
staff that allows us to see
these invoices on the hauler
website.
30. We find hauler invoices
contain errors about 10% of
the time.
So we are careful to ensure
that the line items on your
invoice match the pricing or
service levels dictated in
your contract.
