Operations - Solid Waste

In a traditional solid waste program, the client and the waste contractor typically have conflicting incentives. While the client (WDMCS) benefits from decreased service, the contractor’s interest is in increasing service levels.

A Resource Management (RM) program expands the service provided, with the contractor becoming an integral part of the solid waste management program. The fee structure is revised to compensate the contractor for their solid waste expertise, rather than the traditional quantity of waste disposed.

The service provider is rewarded for assisting with prevention, reuse, recycling and composting alternatives to solid waste issues. In addition, the service provider assumes the responsibility for tracking, quantifying and reporting information that is essential to an effective solid waste management program.
