Republic Services Trash Spend Down 78%, Plus 7 Months Free Service
Challenge:
Delorie Counter Tops & Doors, a 10-15 employee manufacturing company, was paying $906/month to Republic Services for trash disposal—far too high for their size. The invoice was complex and lacked clear pricing breakdown.
What We Discovered:
After Republic Services finance department insisted there was “no room for reduction,” we dug deeper into the contract history. We found that three years earlier, the client had accepted a promotional rate that was supposed to last 12 months. After just 90 days, Republic increased the rate by 38%—and kept charging it for three years.
The Results:
- Monthly spend reduced by 78%
- Recovered a $1,425 refund for missed pick-ups
- 7 months of free trash service
- $27,057 saved over 3-year term
The Lesson:
Rate increases buried in complex invoices often go unnoticed for years. A single contract review can uncover thousands of wrongfully billed charges.
“Working with CostFixers has been fantastic. They negotiated our trash bill for significant savings and explained how it supports our long-term goals. Professional, proactive, and truly invested in their clients’ success—we highly recommend them”
