Waste Expense Management for Commercial Properties

Commercial property managers partner with Cass for two reasons:

1. Increased flexibility enabling them to focus on their businesses core competencies  
2. Increased speed and control of waste expense processing and payment

Managing expenses fully requires time, attention, and details. When you consider your waste expenses, you probably have limited information about your costs or usage, except at a summary level. Most companies cannot answer these basic questions: 

• What services are we paying for? 
• Are we paying the right amount? 
• What is our usage? Are we over-serviced? 
• How do our costs break down by line item? 
• How do our costs compare to market rates and like companies?

This lack of transparency is by design. The less information you are given, the less power you have to control and reduce your costs. Waste invoices don’t tell you how many cubic yards or tons of waste are being picked up, so you can’t determine if you are being over-serviced. They don’t itemize your costs, making it impossible to know what you are paying for each service and if you’re paying the right amount.

Cass is NOT a broker. We are an outsourced, managed service company that works and reports directly to you – think of us as your virtual, dedicated waste expense management department. A trusted business partner and advisor where we shift the power from the waste service provider to you. Stated simply, we do this by: 

• Extracting and aggregating data about your costs and services from your contacts and invoices, thus enabling detailed visibility into your waste expenses.
• Leveraging and having access to our geographically specific market rates as well as buying power with national and regional waste haulers

With these advantages, we renegotiate contracts and optimize your service plans to drive immediate and sustained savings and help control costs for the future.
