What does a waste audit cost?
Nothing upfront — ever. We work on a contingency basis. If we don't find you savings that hit your bottom line, our services are completely free. If we do save you money, we share in those verified savings for a set term (typically 12–36 months). After that period, you keep 100% of the savings for the lifetime of your business.
Do you need to change my waste hauler to save me money?
In the vast majority of cases, no. We work with your existing hauler to correct billing errors, renegotiate rates, and fix contract terms. Changing vendors is always an option, but it's rarely necessary — and we understand that operational continuity matters to your business.
What do you need to get started?
Just three things: your three most recent waste invoices, a signed Letter of Authorization (allowing us to communicate with your hauler on your behalf), and a list of your service locations. In many cases, we can pull invoice data directly from your hauler's online portal — making it even easier on your team.
How long does the audit take?
We deliver initial findings within 30 days and implement verified savings within 90 days. From your team's perspective, the time commitment is approximately 3 hours total — spread across an initial call, invoice sharing, and a findings review. We do all the heavy lifting.
I'm locked into a contract with my hauler. Can you still help?
Yes — and this is one of the most common misconceptions we encounter. Most billing errors and overcharges can be corrected regardless of whether you're under contract. And many auto-renewal and escalation clauses can be renegotiated. We have yet to encounter a client where an existing agreement prevented us from finding savings.
How do I know your recommendations are legitimate?
Every finding is documented at the line-item level — you can see it directly on your invoices. We never ask you to pay for a finding you don't fully understand. Our clients approve all recommendations before implementation, and our approval rate is above 95%. We only get paid when you save money, so our incentives are entirely on your side.
My team already handles waste billing. Why do I need this?
That's the most common thing we hear — and we find overcharges at over 90% of the businesses we review, including ones with dedicated ops or finance staff. Unless your team has years of experience auditing hauler contracts specifically, access to real benchmark pricing data, and direct hauler negotiation leverage, there are almost certainly dollars left on the table. The risk-free nature of our engagement means there's no downside to finding out.
Is my financial information safe?
Yes. We review waste hauler invoices and contracts — we do not access bank accounts, payroll data, or sensitive patient information. All documents you share are treated with strict confidentiality and used solely for the purpose of the audit.
