Electronics Retailer

An electronics retailer with locations throughout Florida and Arizona hired WP to consult on potential savings for waste services it managed in-house at its corporate location. WP identified several areas: Price negotiations for existing service Change of equipment specifications Alteration of collection schedules Implementation of recycling programs Elimination of waste hauler agreements with rollover clauses.

After completing a review and database of all location information, new prices with existing vendors were negotiated. A waste characterization developed by WP concluded that sites could easily recycle more than half their waste, resulting in additional savings.
Classifications of savings:

• Gross waste cost cut by 57%.
  
  
• Hauler contracts eliminated at 92% of locations after first year, 100% in second year.
  
  
• No cancellation fees paid to eliminate hauler contracts.
  
  
• Total gross savings for first year alone: $459,000.00.
