How We Saved a National Retailer Over $50,000 in Annual Waste Costs

Managing waste across multiple locations can be expensive and chaotic. In this case study, we show how a national retail chain reduced their waste spend by over $50,000 per year—without changing their day-to-day operations.

1. Waste Audit and Findings


We conducted a full audit across 60+ store locations, reviewing invoices, pickup schedules, and service levels. The audit revealed that the client was:

  • Paying for unnecessary pickups
  • Being charged for overweight containers due to poor scheduling
  • Missing out on bundled service discounts

2. Vendor Negotiations and Optimization


Leveraging our industry connections, we negotiated new service terms with haulers in each region. Results included:

  • Reduced pickup frequency without increasing overflow
  • Consolidated billing from multiple vendors into one streamlined system
  • Renegotiated rates at an average of 15% lower per site

3. Ongoing Monitoring and Reporting


We didn’t stop at setup. Our team continues to track service data monthly to prevent overcharges and spot new savings opportunities. Key tools include:

  • Monthly reporting dashboard
  • Automatic alerts for service anomalies
  • Dedicated account manager support
