The Opportunity
An 862-unit multifamily community needed to reduce an exceptionally large monthly waste bill while managing persistent illegal dumping and resident-generated bulk waste. Green Glove Heroes combined service-level optimization, recurring invoice audits, daily site management and scheduled bulk removal to control both the financial and operational sides of the problem.
The Challenge
- Monthly Republic Services invoices exceeded $42,000.
- Residents routinely abandoned mattresses, couches, tables and other large items throughout the property.
- Bulk volume regularly exceeded ordinary property staff capacity.
- Complex billing and service activity created a continuing risk of overcharges and missed credits.
The Solution
- Reduced collection service levels based on actual capacity and site conditions.
- Performed multiple hauler-bill audits and pursued billing corrections.
- Included removal of two truckloads of bulk material each week in the management program.
- Provided weekly bulk-waste photos and obtained approval before additional removals.
| Monthly Cost | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Republic Services invoices | $42.8K | $31.3K |
| Green Glove Heroes management program | — | Included |
| Total monthly cost | Baseline | Lower total cost |
Operational Results
- Recovered more than $21,000 in hauler billing credits through invoice audits.
- Reduced the direct hauler bill by approximately 27%.
- Provided two bulk-removal truckloads weekly, an annual included value of $27,456.
- Achieved positive net savings even after adding daily management and bulk-removal services.
