FAQ
We are confused about recycling. What’s our liability? Will it increase or decrease our costs?
NWA continuously analyzes your waste streams, local regulations, commodity markets, and material volumes to develop location-specific recycling solutions. In most cases, these programs not only ensure compliance but also reduce landfill costs and create potential revenue streams through recyclable commodities.
How can we measure National Waste Associates’ effectiveness?
- Waste volume and tonnage tracking
- Recycling and diversion rates
- Carbon footprint and sustainability metrics
- Invoice auditing results and cost savings
- Vendor performance and service reliability
- Annual business reviews and quarterly conference calls
This data allows you to make informed, strategic decisions while clearly measuring the financial and operational impact of our services.
Can you manage franchised and exclusive locations?
Through waste invoice auditing, compliance reviews, and performance analysis, we identify inefficiencies and implement improvements wherever possible. Our approach ensures that even complex or restricted locations are optimized for cost, service quality, and compliance.
What makes National Waste Associates different from other waste management companies?
Our team combines decades of industry experience, national pricing data, and proven negotiation strategies to reduce costs and improve service performance. We take a data-driven, detail-oriented approach, continuously identifying opportunities for savings, efficiency, and sustainability improvements across your locations.
What makes National Waste Associates different from national hauling companies?
NWA operates differently.
As an independent waste management company, we leverage competitive vendor markets at each location to secure the best pricing and service. Because we don’t own hauling assets, our incentives are fully aligned with yours – to reduce costs, eliminate inefficiencies, and improve overall performance.
What happens to all the savings?
Unlike some providers, NWA’s model is built on delivering measurable value through cost reduction, invoice auditing, and service optimization. By consistently identifying savings opportunities and improving efficiency, we help our clients achieve long-term results – building partnerships that last for years.
How quickly can we start seeing cost savings?
Q: Do you work with businesses of all sizes?
A: NWA specializes in multi-location organizations, typically supporting companies with 50 to 5,000 locations across North America. However, any business looking to reduce waste costs, improve vendor management, and streamline operations can benefit from our services.
