Our Capabilities

From invoice audits to zero-waste certification, we manage every dollar and every ton of your waste program.

Invoice Auditing & Cost Recovery

We perform line-by-line audits of your hauling invoices to catch billing errors, service overcharges, and rate creep — often uncovering immediate, hard-dollar refunds and savings.

Service Right-Sizing

Most properties pay for more pickup frequency and container capacity than they actually need. We analyze real usage data and right-size your service to eliminate waste in your waste budget.

Vendor & Contract Negotiation

We negotiate directly with your haulers on pricing, terms, and service levels, then manage the relationship going forward — so you're never on hold with a hauler again.

Waste Audits & Recycling Programs

On-site waste stream audits identify diversion opportunities and reduce contamination fees, plus customized training so employees and residents recycle correctly from day one.

Equipment Evaluation

From compactors to balers, we evaluate whether your current equipment is costing or saving you money, and advise on procurement decisions that pay for themselves.

Zero-Waste Certification & Reporting

We guide properties toward official zero-waste certification and deliver ongoing Quarterly Value Reviews documenting savings, diversion results, and next steps.

How the Shared-Savings Model Works

A performance-based model that puts the risk on us, not you.

Free Baseline Audit

We Implement the Savings

Our waste-industry experts right-size your service, correct billing errors, and negotiate directly with your haulers on your behalf.

We Split the Savings, 50/50

You keep half of every dollar we save. We only get paid when you do, so our interests stay aligned with yours.

No savings, no fee. It's that simple.
