We get this question a lot. Most property managers attempt to do their due diligence by soliciting bids from the top 3 or 4 companies they find in a Google search. However, many times, the companies that come up in those searches are the biggest in the industry and usually have the HIGHEST prices over time. Also, the biggest companies in the waste industry usually have “teaser” rates that look good today but after time goes by on their 3-year contract, prices start to increase substantially.
A waste broker will have a better sense of the market. Specifically, in Chicago, there could be as many as 10 companies that offer waste and recycling service…with prices that vary greatly.
