Heartland Waste Solutions has had the opportunity to work with great people in great companies.
Here’s what a few of our Clients have had to say after we helped them:
|
|
 |
“With 26 stores, waste disposal was a significant company-wide expense for us, and I liked that your company specialized solely in reducing waste and recycling costs. Your efforts reduced our costs by 39%, and we will realize these savings for the long-term. My managers appreciate how smoothly the changes were implemented; your organizational skills and customer service skills are beyond reproach.”
Eric Cole
Vice President of Operations, Original Bread Inc.

“I am pleased to report that HWS has been very successful in helping our T.G.I. Friday’s stores in Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. We hired HWS because of your reputation and because you focus solely on waste disposal and recycling (i.e. not a generalist cost reduction consultant). Besides changing the type of service at a number of our stores, you used your industry leverage with the haulers to negotiate better pricing for us. The net result is that our trash/recycling costs have decreased by over 30%.”
Brad Bax
Vice President & CFO, Tricorp Management Company

“You were able to find better and less expensive haulers in areas where I had not been able to, and you improved our contracts with current haulers to save money. You continue to be our “watchdog” and you handle any issues the managers have without me getting involved. I’m happy to share with you the savings that you realized for us. I highly recommend your program to other business owners of any kind.”
Kevin Schlutz
President, Central Iowa KFC Inc.

“I simply had my staff make copies of recent trash invoices and email you a list of my Taco Bell store locations, and you did your work without requiring my time. I was quite surprised and very pleased when you presented your detailed recommendations to me, which reduced my costs by 27%. True to your word, you also implemented these recommendations for me and negotiated new vendor contracts for all of my stores. I especially like your ongoing service, in which you take care of any vendor issues, scrutinize my invoices, and make sure that the savings hit my bottom line each month.”
Dave Parochetti
President, Parochetti Enterprises Inc.

“With 21 full-service restaurants in 12 states, trash and recycling is a substantial annual cost. Your recommendations made sense on paper, and more importantly you implemented the changes for us and the recommendations worked. Thank you Eric and Heartland Waste Solutions – we are very pleased to have you on the Biaggi’s team.”
Todd Hoveden
CEO, Biaggi's Ristorante Italiano

“We at The Bistro Group are very happy with the results of your work for our 28 TGI Friday’s stores. Your audit was thorough and found various cost savings opportunities, reducing our ongoing costs by 20+%. Based on the new contracts that you negotiated with our vendors, it’s obvious that you understand the trash industry and know how to protect us from the vendors’ inherent conflicts of interest. I’m happy to have HWS on our team saving us money and overhead and managing trash/recycling for our stores.”
Jeff Ritson
Executive Vice President, The Bistro Group

“I knew that I didn’t have the in-house expertise to tackle this project, nor did I want the overhead expense of attempting it ourselves. As promised, your audit was extremely thorough, yet required little time from our staff. I’m very pleased with the results of your work, as you’ve reduced our company-wide trash and recycling costs by over 50%. Simply put, you’ve been tenacious in helping us, and the positive impact to our P&L really shows.”
Mark Feldpausch
Chairman and CEO, Felpausch Food Centers

“I’m very pleased with how you’ve helped our 56 Arby’s stores in eight states. Your audit was very detailed and, as promised, unobtrusive. It’s obvious that your company understands the trash business. We of course like the savings to our monthly P&L, and we also appreciate the time and thus overhead that you’ve saved our management staff.”
Janice Carlson
Corporate Controller, Carisch Inc.

“Your company recently performed an audit at our 42 Kentucky Fried Chicken, Long John Silver’s, and Taco Bell restaurants. We’ve been very pleased with your work for us. You found significant savings, made all the changes happen, and continue to manage this service and cost area for us each month. Your program has proceeded very smoothly, and it’s obvious that your company knows what it’s doing. Our store managers and district managers value having you and your staff “on call” to take care of any trash or recycling related issues.”
Debby Reigle
Executive Assistant, Zancanelli Management Corporation

“HWS was able to negotiate some really significant savings with our haulers, and even more importantly they police our bills on a monthly basis and hold the haulers accountable. HWS has been proactive and helpful whenever I’ve needed them. They’ve relieved me the trouble of dealing with the refuse companies so that I can concentrate my time and money on my employees and my customers.”

“Your audit of our 27 Kentucky Fried Chicken stores was very thorough and verified what I knew to be true, namely that a number of our haulers did not have our best interest at heart. The changes have worked well, and your work reduced our overall trash and recycling costs by 22%. Besides the hard savings, being able to outsource management of waste/recycling has freed up my time and that of my staff to focus on our other many responsibilities. I’m glad to have HWS on our team and have already recommended you to another KFC franchise owner.”
Terry Moffit
Director of Operations, Weaver Enterprises, Ltd.

“As owners of Panera Bread stores across Iowa, trash disposal and recycling costs are a significant annual expense for us. Thus, I was very pleased when your audit found us 23% savings. I like the fact that my people don’t even have to deal with our trash/recycling vendors anymore–they simply call or e-mail you and you take care of any issue. You’ve been a trusted advisor and I whole-heartedly recommend HWS to other businesses."
Mike Young
Operating Partner, SLB of Iowa, LLC

“I liked the fact that we paid you nothing in advance and that you employed your time and effort, not mine, to perform the cost reduction audit. You completed the audit, presented your recommendations to me, and implemented the changes. I am very pleased with the results: you saved us a significant amount of money, corrected a number of inefficiencies and overcharges, and negotiated new contracts with our waste vendors. As promised, you continue to support my store managers and to assist them with any trash and recycling issues.”
John Walch
Panera Bread Operating Partner, Carlon Corporation

“I am pleased to say that you have created substantial cost savings for us, and that we will enjoy these savings for years to come. In addition, you established more protective contracts with our waste vendors, have saved my managers and myself a substantial amount of time, and have truly been “on call” to help us with ongoing needs. Thank you for delivering exactly what you promised.”

“The results of your work were excellent. Despite the fact that we were bound by existing waste vendor contracts for the majority of the stores, you still reduced my ongoing trash and recycling costs by 25%. You also found a billing error that resulted in a sizeable refund. Since I have numerous employees and projects to manage and thus limited time, I appreciate that, as promised, you performed your work while requiring almost no time from me. In fact, outsourcing trash and recycling issues to you has freed up my time. Thank you for saving me money, time, and hassle.”
