Case Study #3

Restaurant Development Company

A fast-growing restaurant development company with dozens of locations throughout the Southeast U.S. brought Waste Professionals on board to analyze its waste and recycling systems. Restaurants manage waste expenses better than most businesses since they are high-volume users and because on-site managers are often paid according to the store's profitability. This national franchisee has an aggressive opening schedule for new locations and also relies on Waste Professionals to review site plans, local ordinances, and new vendor qualifications for pre-construction planning. After completing a review of the locations, Waste Professionals:

Eliminated all long-term waste hauler contracts
Implemented improved recycling procedures
Right-sized select equipment to maximize collection efficiency in monopoly franchise areas
Negotiated lower rates for service from existing vendors
Replaced some existing vendors with lower-cost operators

New locations coming on-line start service at the lowest market rates possible and do not have to sign long-term hauler contracts. All new sites are now designed to accommodate both solid waste and recycling collection. Total savings: 32% annually.
