How Can I Save Money on Garbage Service for my Business in Washington State?

Have you ever wondered why your trash bill each month is equal to - or more than - your car payment? Have you seen several different garbage trucks on the street, but been told by the city or municipality you conduct business in that because of an agreement that exists between the city and a hauler, you must use a certain company and their seemingly exorbitant pricing structure? Have you thought to yourself: This does not seem fair - I have choices on what vendors I use for other services provided to my business – why should trash be any different?

A Guide: Does Purchasing a Compactor Make Sense for My Business?

Most astute Business Owners and CFO’s spend much time pondering how they can maximize their company’s profits and lower their overhead costs. Perhaps the most obvious way to increase profits is to lower operating expenses. Like Benjamin Franklin said, “A penny saved is a penny earned.”

Still, the question that plagues many Business Owners is how to lower their expenses. That is why many businesses hire outside consultants, whose core competency is loss prevention in one area or another, to help them add money to their bottom line.

For many businesses, an important expense to consider is waste removal, especially if they generate enough trash to warrant an expense of more than $200-$300 per month. Keeping disposal costs low is particularly important for businesses that generate large volumes of waste. Every Business Owner who is looking to reduce disposal costs should ask: “Will a trash compactor save my business money?”

This can be a difficult question to answer, as sometimes compaction equipment can be a considerable investment, and it can be tough to determine or guarantee a return. However, in certain scenarios, few investments offer the kind of return that trash compactors do.

For example, let’s use John Doe, owner of a high volume QSR Restaurant that has a monthly expense of $1,150.00. The owner of this restaurant has done everything he can to lower his trash bill. He has added cardboard recycling, which helped by lowering his cost from $1,300.00 to $1,150.00, but he still has a hard time stomaching the fact that he pays $13,800.00 every year just to have his trash taken to the dump. He has even thought about hiring someone in a pick-up truck to drive the trash to the dump, but he knows this is illegal as well as unsanitary.

Frustrated by the fact that his trash bill is higher than his car payment, he does some research and decides to seek help from a company many of his fellow QSR Owners swear by, Global Trash Solutions. GlobalTrash Solutions performs a free analysis and calls Mr. Doe with great news: He can save 66% per month by investing in a trash compactor. The compactor will also improve security and aesthetics at the restaurant. Mr. Doe is ecstatic. Global Trash Solutions provides him with a detailed return on investment, financing options, and even negotiates the new price with his trash hauler for him. His equipment pays for itself in 15 months, and he adds over $9,200.00 annually back to his bottom line!

Stories like this are happening every month in 48 states throughout the country. Global Trash Solutions offers a myriad of different turn-key compaction solutions, which is why GTS is one of the fastest growing waste consulting firms in the country. Please contact us today so we can help you improve your profitability, and keep your waste costs as low as possible for life.

Give Yourself a Raise by Cutting Waste Costs

Are you thinking, how can I give myself a raise by cutting waste costs? Do you own or manage a restaurant or chain of restaurants where waste and recycling is a full-time job? Are you spending more and more money on waste removal?

As 2013 comes to a tumultuous close for the fast food industry, corporate executives seek ways to boost their market share in the New Year. Long-term and short-term objectives are being reviewed as the most market-savvy managers implement the proper changes in order to maintain presence in the fast food market. For McDonald’s, the frequent leader in fast food market share, changes are coming in 2014.

With less diners eating out due to the sluggish economy, McDonald’s has managed to maintain stability as a popular option for people that want to eat out, and at a lower cost. In order to generate more business, changes like healthier menus, greater variety and additional locations, cutting waste costs, as well as remodels of existing locations are among the changes the company has slated for 2014. It is no secret, waste and recycling has become difficult to manage for chain restaurant operators. Managers are cutting waste costs through a variety of ways, among them efficient, effective trash storage and removal. As the major trash haulers in this country become more and more monopolized, small business owners are turning to companies who can offer solutions to better handle garbage in a cost-effective way.

McDonald’s franchisees quickly grabbed onto to the concept of saving money by controlling the cost of waste and recycling removal. One would think that Corporate McDonald’s, the nation’s oldest and most successful franchise, would have been at the forefront of this concept. Yet it has actually been the franchisees out in front of this issue. The franchisee community has suffered through tough times and right now the main issue facing the franchisee is cash flow. It is through controlling costs for waste and recycling that many have seen an increase in their bottom line.
