Strategic Waste Overhaul Drives to Cost Savings
When a company in the manufactured housing industry first came to Evergreen, it was for recycling services—and we’ve proudly supported them in that area for years.
But when it came to their trash service, they were still using a large national provider. Things weren’t working the way they should have, but like many companies, they were stuck in a cycle of just “hauling what we have now.”
Then something changed: they asked us a question we love to hear, “Can you help us figure out a better way?”
Step 1: We Listened and Looked Deeper
We kicked off with a free waste audit. Our goal wasn’t just to bid on their current setup, it was to understand their needs and build a smarter, more cost-effective commercial waste management solution in DFW and Waco from the ground up.
Here’s what we found:
- They had three compactors (two owned, one rented) and none of them worked.
- They were using five open tops hauled daily, costing over $50,000 per month.
- Their yard crew was frustrated by a constant issue of debris flying out of the hoppers during dumps.
Simply switching haulers would have changed nothing. So instead, we proposed a real solution.
Step 2: We Engineered a Smarter System
Evergreen’s equipment team did a full on-site evaluation as part of our strategic waste overhaul approach for Texas businesses. Instead of just patching the old setup,
- Designed and built custom compactors that perfectly matched their operational needs.
- Solved the blowback issue by engineering new hoppers compatible with their dumping equipment
- Simplified hauler identification with custom signage, because yes, the crew loved the new units so much they nicknamed them “Old Yeller” and “Big Yeller” (a nod to our Evergreen yellow branding!)
Step 3: We Delivered Results
The new setup just went live, but here’s what we already know about this sustainable waste solution in Texas:
- Labor costs have dropped significantly—less time wasted on inefficient dumping and cleanup
- Monthly trash spend is projected to drop by 50%
- And maybe most importantly—the yard crew is excited about the equipment. They feel heard, supported, and part of the change
