How can you get better rates than if I do it on my own?
To start with: an existing client base already under our management, existing vendor relationships, leveraged bidding, industry knowledge and experience. TrashMax has many advantages it can employ on your behalf that are simply otherwise unavailable to you because you’re not in the garbage business.
What do we do if there is a service issue?
TrashMax’s objective is to eliminate your headaches when dealing with vendors and to provide fast results. Service issues can be addressed through our toll-free service number, email, or a call directly to your assigned Account Manager, or to the Account Management Team assigned to you.
Can we identify each location’s costs for P&L statements?
TrashMax will provide invoicing for each location
What if we need a Dumpster for remodeling or a special project?
Make one call and you’re TrashMax will answer the request. Our database of market pricing eliminates the need for your location managers to spend time collecting quotes for service with which they may not be familiar with.
Are you going to replace our current vendors?
Sometimes. We do our best to maintain existing vendors as they know the location, staff, and existing problems. However, if existing vendors cannot offer the right services or meet realistic market rates, we may make a change to maintain or improve your service while reducing your costs.
What if I’m stuck in a contract?
One of the hardest things about escaping abusive hauler contracts is exit timing. We will perform an analysis on each contract in place to determine if, how, and how inexpensively it can be exited. Upon your direction, we will proceed with any option you choose for your company. Waste hauling contracts are as well designed as insurance contracts because hauling companies have experienced almost every conceivable argument. However, that does not mean that there are not legitimate exits available to those with industry knowledge.
Why have I never heard of this service before?
Simple. Waste companies, processors, and municipalities have no incentive to show you options because they want to sell what THEY offer. For decades, waste companies have carved up market areas by region and have used their market power to limit your options. Even those companies offering “national account programs” provide a skewed version of the full range of options available, since their service is pushed above all others without regard for what is best and most efficient for the customer.

Who uses services like yours?
Be reassured, were not re-inventing the wheel. Almost every big-box retailer, chain store, national restaurant company, regional supermarket, Fortune 500 company, publicly-traded REITs, healthcare chain, and other national businesses use this service. Improvements in distributed office technology and database management have made services once only available to the largest of companies, available to mid-market and smaller organizations. Although different organizations produce different types and volumes of waste, the analysis required for developing the most efficient solution equally applies.
