Questions to Ask a Sanitation Contractor
Reputable sanitation contractor
Do they have a waste carrier’s license? Anyone that collects and transports your waste must be a registered carrier.
Types of waste
1. What can and can not be recycled?
2. Is there anything they will not take?
3. What will happen if the wrong materials are put in a recycling bin? Will the bins are rejected, or will you be charged extra when the bins are ‘contaminated’ with the wrong items? Will your contractors leave any explanatory notes when there is a problem?
Collection times and frequency
1. How frequently will they empty the bins? It is more cost effective to have a bigger bin emptied less frequently than a smaller one emptied more often. Frequency will often depend on how much and the kind of waste you produce and the storage space you have.
2. What time and day are collections made? Will there be any times when collections are a problem? Will, you need to put the bins out in advance, or will the contractor access the bins where they are usually kept?
3. Are there any site access problems, such as height or weight restrictions?
4. What is the process to report missed bin collections?
Containers and Bins
1. What kinds of containers are provided?
2. Will they be suitable for your premises?
3. What is the policy to fill bins? Can they be filled to the top?
4. What are the charges if any, when the bins are overfilled? Regularly overfilled bins will often incur additional charges. So you need to determine if you need a bigger bin or more frequent collections.
