Overview A leading national pet store chain, operating over 1,000 locations, partnered with National Waste Associates (NWA) to achieve greater control over their waste expenditures. Through a comprehensive, data-driven approach over three years, the collaboration resulted in more than $1.2 million in cost savings and a significant reduction in the retailer's carbon footprint.
Challenges Identified - Lack of oversight and supervision of waste operations across a dispersed network of stores
- Multiple haulers servicing hundreds of sites, making it difficult to identify opportunities for optimization
- Escalating disposal costs and an inefficient cost structure
Solutions Implemented - NWA conducted thorough data analysis to flag high-activity, high-spend sites, prioritizing these for immediate action
- By comparing service frequencies among sites with similar waste volumes, NWA identified locations being overserviced and adjusted service schedules, saving over $885,000
- Waste composition analysis revealed opportunities to expand recycling programs, diverting hundreds of tons of valuable material from landfill and saving $53,000
- For newly opened sites, haulage frequencies were optimized to carry larger loads per trip, generating $300,000 in additional savings without disrupting operations
Results - Consolidated savings of over $1.2 million achieved over three years
- Enhanced environmental performance, including significant reductions in landfill waste and carbon emissions
- Improved operational efficiency and cost control across all 1,000+ store locations
Conclusion This partnership demonstrates the value of data-driven waste management and the impact of targeted operational changes on both financial performance and sustainability goals. To learn more visit us at
