Advice with no hauler angle

Green Glove Heroes provides waste management consulting for multifamily properties and portfolios across Northern California. We audit your hauler bills and contracts line by line, right-size your service to what the property generates, and design a program that our own crews then run on-site. Because we don't collect your recurring trash, our only interest is the right size, value, and optimal service your property can run on.

Why our advice has no hauler angle

Your hauler's revenue grows when your service level does. We don't transport your recurring trash, recycling, or organics, so when we tell you a container can come off the schedule or a compactor is costing more than it saves, there is nothing in it for us except a client who stays.

Our consulting includes crews on your property six days a week, so the plan is executed by the people who own it.

What we look at

  1. 01Every line of your hauler bill and your contract
  2. 02How your service level compares with what the property generates
  3. 03Contamination and overage fees, and what causes them
  4. 04Whether to keep your compactor or repair or replace it
  5. 05Whether your container mix and placement fit what the enclosure can hold
  6. 06How much bulk you have and how it's billed
  7. 07Where you're exposed under SB 1383 and to local enforcement
  8. What a waste audit includes. In a waste audit we look closely at the types and quantities of waste your property generates. We sort and measure it to find where you could reduce waste and recycle more, and then we give you recommendations you can act on to make your waste management more efficient and cut costs.

Our consulting services

Bill, Cost & Contract Analysis

We read your hauler bill and contract line by line. Overcharges, oversized service, compounding surcharges, and credits you were never given all show up there. Then we dispute and renegotiate on your behalf. An 862-unit Fremont community recovered $21K+ in credits this way.

Audit your waste bill

Custom Program Design

We build your program from what the property generates: streams, container types and counts, placement, pickup schedule, and what our porters do on each visit. It meets SB 1383 without paying for empty containers. Our own crews run it six days a week, and a dialed-in system takes about 90 days.

Where we find the money

  • Over-service. Your containers and pickups are sized for more than the property generates. In Rohnert Park, right-sizing took 39% off the hauler bill.
  • Billing errors. We find service you paid for that never got delivered, plus compounding surcharges and credits nobody applied. A Fremont community recovered $21K+.
  • Compactors. An aging compactor is property-owned equipment, so you carry the repair exposure, and it hides contamination. In Milpitas, converting to managed front-load service cut hauler bills by 58% and 52%.
  • Contamination. When the truck photographs a single plastic bag in a recycling bin, you get a fee, and our daily hand sorting pulls that bag out before the truck ever sees it.

Consulting questions

Reads the hauler bill and contract, measures what the property generates, finds the gap between the two, and designs a program that closes it. With Green Glove Heroes, we also run the program on-site six days a week.

A detailed examination of the types and quantities of waste your property generates, by sorting and measuring it, followed by recommendations to reduce waste, improve recycling, and cut costs.

That depends on the tier you pick. The premium service tier includes bill audits, service right-sizing, hauler advocacy, and program design.

No. We got every result you see on our site while the property kept its existing hauler.
