(Newswire.net — July 19, 2019) — When you own or manage a business it’s important to take a moment to consider how you manage your trash. Do you know how to safely dispose of the waste your company produces? What about the amount of time you spend on coordinating various services to haul stuff away? Have you kept up to date with developments in local and international recycling policies? Waste disposal is a surprisingly complicated topic. Here are three ways that hiring a professional waste and recycling broker can make things a bit simpler.
Proper Waste Disposal
Quality brokers will analyze your company and locate appropriate independent hauling services for each type of waste you produce — for example, chemical waste and food waste require different methods and tools for safe disposal. The broker will follow up with hauling services, making sure vendors keep on schedule and follow regulations. This is especially important if your business has multiple locations, as waste regulations can vary dramatically around the country.
Streamlined Billing
Brokers will examine different bids, operation costs, and seasonal fluctuations in order to provide you with the most competitive pricing options for waste and recycling management. They’ll also review vendor bills for unnecessary fees, overcharges, or other errors. Once you decide on a plan, the broker will hire the individual vendors, apply for the necessary permits, and coordinate associated service transactions so all you have to pay is a consolidated waste disposal bill.
Improved Waste Management
Much like how a certified accountant can find you unexpected tax exemptions, waste brokers can uncover discounts and rebates for additional cost savings. They’ll also oversee the daily operations of your waste disposal process, resolve missed pickups, and identify opportunities for waste diversion — for example, by introducing composting and recycling improvements. Landfill tipping fees have been on the rise since the 1980s and have jumped by 6-7 percent annually since 2016, according to reports by the Environmental Research & Education Foundation (EREF). This means the less material your business sends to the landfill, the better. Brokers also stay on top of industry news and can let you know of any regulation changes or improvements in recycling methods that might affect how your business disposes of waste.
Hiring the right waste and recycling broker will transform how your business handles its trash. These disposal professionals will work on your behalf, doing the heavy work of vendor procurement, price negotiations, and service quality assurance.
