How Can My Company Cut Costs on Waste Service in Colorado?


  • Do you own a business in a major metropolitan area of Colorado such as Denver or Boulder?
  • Are you located in a more rural market in Western Colorado where you feel your options for waste and recycling service are limited? 
  • Have you become frustrated with the outcome of the relationship with your current hauling company? 
  • Were you led to believe you would be charged a single flat monthly price for quality service, and instead seen a series of price increases and miscellaneous surcharges appear on your invoices like rude, uninvited dinner guests on your doorstep? 
  • Has your quality of service declined, or do you simply expect more from the capital you are spending every month on waste and recycling service? 
  • Have you wondered why dumping your trash has become so expensive, or sought ways to lower cost through recycling?


Waste and recycling service has become an albatross to many business owners in Colorado, just as it has in practically every other state in the union. The reasons are not very different than those in other states where business owners find themselves overpaying for waste hauling services. Many business owners feel like they are playing a game of whack-a-mole (only these moles are gluttonous, and devour profits). The moment they trim one area of their waste and recycling expenses, whether by changing companies, or renewing with their current hauler under the premise that they will pay less for service, another aspect of this cost invariably rises. You may have seen increases in recycling fees, extra trash charges because the lid does not close one morning, and the garbage truck driver gets artistic and decides to take a picture of your dumpster, or any number of 3-letter acronyms followed by the word “fee”. Many hauling companies billing practices have become so complex that even their own employees have a difficult time explaining the bills!
