WHY CHOOSING A WASTE BROKER IS BEST

We all know that famous saying, sometimes it’s ‘better the devil you know’ when it comes to making significant changes within a business. When it comes to choosing a new partner for your waste management services, the benefits of partnering with an experienced waste broker far outweigh the reasons to stay with a traditional waste management company! 

 

A waste broker acts as the link between businesses that require waste disposal services and waste removal or disposal facilities. A waste broker uses industry knowledge and expertise to locate appropriate waste management solutions that meet clients’ individual needs and preferences. Waste brokers use a vast network of waste management partners to negotiate competitive costs and ensure efficient waste disposal operations.

 

Being a business that operates as a waste broker, Nationwide Waste offers greater flexibility, increased service levels, top tier account support, better environmental, social, and governmental outcomes, quality and safety assurances, and overall, for your business – increasingly positive financial outcomes. Let’s explore these points in more detail! 

 

• Flexibility: As a broker, we have access to the best teams and partners available all over Australia. When you sign exclusively with a traditional waste company, you are limited by their direct coverage capability. 

• Service Levels: We treat our clients as if they are part of our own business. We support the requirement for change and can source partners for service delivery, backed by our Nationwide team. 

• Account Support: We are a team of listeners, and we have a direct client service, first call resolution policy. You won’t be lost in the crowd. 

• Better ESG Outcomes: With our expert knowledge and hand picked, top tier team, there’s no commercial pressure to fill landfills or waste trucks, unlike traditional waste companies, many of whom own landfill sites. 

• Safety & Quality Outcomes: Our quality accreditations (including being an ISO 45001 certified waste company), industry knowledge, and operational experience set us apart from other providers. We check and triple check every detail to ensure full compliance is met and there is no room for error. 

• Positive Financial Outcomes: With full market visibility, we have the power to negotiate with our suppliers and deliver these cost savings and benefits back to our clients. Providing advice and recommendations to improve waste management practices is all part of our service.    

As businesses negotiate the complex world of waste management and recycling, the decision between choosing a waste broker or a traditional waste management company needs very careful consideration. Waste brokers excel at quickly connecting clients with disposal solutions and cost savings while also providing a holistic, environmentally conscious strategy that includes sustainability and ESG reporting customised to your unique needs. The final decision should be driven by your specific demands, sustainability goals, budget constraints, and readiness for integrating best practices in waste management processes. By making informed decisions, you can create a greener future while successfully managing your waste responsibilities.

WHY INDEPENDENCE MATTERS: ACHIEVING BETTER ENVIRONMENTAL OUTCOMES

As a core pillar for our business, everything we do at Nationwide Waste is aimed at reducing landfills and working towards nett zero waste. Being an independent broker, we don’t own landfill sites, so there is no commercial pressure to fill them. Many waste companies have KPI’s and other volume targets that require them to dump waste in landfills. In an attempt to meet their targets, traditional waste companies will often introduce volume based incentives to entice higher amounts of waste to go straight to landfill – in turn negatively impacting and discouraging recycling as it is a lower priced service. Valuable recycling materials end up in landfills as a result, degrading into methane gas or leaching into the environment as microplastics.

Solid waste enters landfills and, over time, will break down and be released into the surrounding environment. The resulting environmental impact is huge, contaminating groundwater, surface water, soil and ending up in our waterways. This toxicity then transfers to marine life, polluting ecosystems and posing a danger to human health as we consume toxins through seafood.

 

By having no alignment with landfill centric disposal systems, an independent expert like Nationwide can help your business operate more environmentally sustainably. We also offer services for stretch wrap recycling, bulk plastic recycling, and industrial waste management, which are important considerations for any business.
