How Can I Fix Trash Problems at My Community?

Trash issues are a nuisance. The good news is you do not have to fix your trash-related problems on your own. A trash management company like Strategic is specialized to solve them for you. These are a few of the most common trash issues and how trash management can help:

• Trash hauler services: Many communities do not have the right amount of service for their trash needs. Some receive haulers service too frequently, while others not enough. The key is to right-size hauler services, so you are only paying for what you need. Another issue with trash hauler service is the amount of valuable time communicating with the hauler takes. Strategic’s Customer Solutions Team handles this for you, so you can focus your time and attention elsewhere.
• Miscalculating costs: There are two types of costs that often get overlooked. The first is soft costs when the management or maintenance team’s valuable time is being spent on trash or large item clean up. By utilizing a designated team for these tasks, you can save on personnel costs. The second type of cost that often isn’t accounted for is hidden costs. These are expenses that come from extra trash hauler service, fees and penalties, large item removals, janitorial costs and more. Whether budgeted or not, these fees add up.
• Loss of time: Often, community managers wear many hats, which makes their time incredibly precious. Time spent coordinating hauling service, large item pick up, additional vendors, porters and waste auditors is time better spent elsewhere. Strategic is a self-managed full-service trash management provider, meaning you can spend as much or as little time as you decide on trash.
• Recycling and organics regulations: Staying up on current recycling and organics laws is a hassle. Partnering with a knowledgeable trash management company can alleviate the fear of non-compliance and punitive fees.”
