The Opportunity
A 348-unit multifamily community asked Green Glove Heroes to reduce an unusually high waste-service expense without compromising collection reliability or compliance. The property also needed its valet provider, the City, Waste Zero consultants and Recology working from the same operating plan. Green Glove Heroes redesigned the service levels and coordinated the stakeholders needed to make the new system work.
The Challenge
- Waste service levels and monthly hauling costs were higher than the property required.
- Door-to-door valet activity had to be integrated with the collection system and site expectations.
- Multiple public- and private-sector stakeholders were operating with different priorities and assumptions.
- Cost reductions had to be achieved without creating overflow, contamination or collection problems.
The Solution
- Analyzed container capacity, collection frequency and actual property demand.
- Reduced Recology service levels to a more efficient configuration.
- Worked directly with the valet service director to align set-out and sorting procedures.
- Led meetings with the City, Waste Zero and Recology to establish shared processes and expectations.
| Monthly Cost | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Recology invoices | $15.6K | $9.5K |
| Green Glove Heroes management program | — | Included |
| Total monthly cost | Baseline | Lower total cost |

- Created one coordinated operating process across the property, valet provider, City, consultants and hauler.
