If you're running a business, chances are you’re juggling multiple responsibilities, and dealing with waste—especially hazardous waste—can feel overwhelming. Whether it's figuring out how much it will cost, navigating the maze of regulations, or deciding whether to handle it yourself or hire professionals, waste and hazardous waste management is a big deal.
It’s easy to feel unsure about the right way to go. Should you invest in a professional service or try to manage it in-house? You’re not alone in asking these questions, and the goal here is to give you a better understanding of your options.
But before we jump in - if you’re unsure whether you need a waste management program, try our free online environmental assessment tool, skip ahead to our estimator tool below, or reach out to us to get an expert’s opinion!
The cost of managing waste and hazardous waste depends on several factors, including the type and amount of waste, how it's disposed of, and compliance with regulations.
Hiring a professional waste management company, (like us here at RMA!) may require an upfront investment, but it often saves businesses money in the long run.
On average, outsourcing your waste program management can cost anywhere from $2,500 to $30,000 annually, depending on the scope of services required. To get a no-nonsense gut check on where you fall in that range, use our estimator below!
Okay, so if you used the tool above you’ve got a better idea of cost now (and if you want a real final quote, submit your email on the end screen above!). But is it worth it? Here’s why we think hiring a professional is a smart financial decision:
While DIY waste management may seem like a way to cut costs, it often leads to higher long-term expenses due to inefficiencies, compliance issues, and the potential for hefty fines.
Professional waste management services not only help ensure your facility is operating in compliance, but they can also help identify cost-saving opportunities by minimizing waste and improving overall efficiency.
At Resource Management Associates, we provide tailored waste and hazardous waste management solutions designed to fit your specific needs and budget. From compliance audits to waste management training, we ensure your facility stays compliant and cost-effective.
