Waste & Recycling Audit

Contracts written to be confusing.
Invoices that count on it

What to send

Your last 6–12 months of waste invoices — and the service agreement, if you have it handy.

Waste hauling agreements are dense, and the invoices that follow them are denser: fuel surcharges calculated on the wrong base, environmental fees introduced mid-contract, container sizes billed larger than what sits in your lot, pickups charged that never happened, and automatic price escalators applied twice. Each error is small; across locations and years, they add up to real money.

Where the money hides

One line, every invoice

A surcharge applied to the wrong base is invisible on a single invoice and material across a year of them.

Waste invoice — service detail Illustrative example
One location, one monthly invoice. Surcharge basis per the service agreement.
01 Base service 1 × 8-yard front load, 2 pickups per week $612.00
02 Extra pickups 3 × $95.00 $285.00
03 Environmental recovery fee Flat monthly $78.40
04 Fuel surcharge 18.5% of the full invoice subtotal ($975.40) $180.45
The service agreement applies the fuel surcharge to base service only. On that basis the line is $113.22 — the invoice overstates it by $67.23, every month, on every site.
Total invoiced $1,155.85

What you get

An invoice-by-invoice findings report, recovery of the overcharges from your hauler, and flagged contract clauses that will keep costing you if left alone.

What it costs

50% of what we recover. No recovery, no fee.

What to send

Your last 6–12 months of waste invoices and, if you have it handy, the service agreement. Multi-site operators: send whatever export your AP system produces — we sort it out, that’s our job, not yours.

How long it takes

Findings in about two weeks; hauler credits and refunds typically land within one to two billing cycles.
