INDEPENDENT WASTE CATEGORY MANAGEMENT
Waste Services, managed as a category.
For multi-site organisations, waste is rarely just a collection issue. It often sits across sites, suppliers, invoices, service levels and reporting lines without one clear management layer.
Waste Options helps organisations bring visibility, governance and control to waste and recycling – separating who collects the waste from who manages to category.
An operating model for controlled waste management.
Most waste issues do not start with the truck. They start with fragmented site decisions, unclear ownership, inconsistent reporting and limited category control.

Frequently Asked Questions
What services does Waste Options provide?
Waste Options provides managed waste optimisation services across waste and recycling. This can include site review, supplier analysis, service design, procurement support, implementation, invoice review, reporting and ongoing supplier performance management.
What is managed waste optimisation?
Managed waste optimisation is structured approach to controlling waste cost, service performance, supplier management and reporting across multiple sites. Waste Options provides the independent management layer between the customer and the waste suppliers.
Do you manage the supplier directly?
Waste Options can coordinate suppliers, monitor performance, review invoices, manage reporting and support improvement actions. The physical collection and processing services are still delivered by waste and recycling suppliers.
Do you replace out current waste suppliers?
Not automatically. In some cases, the best outcome is to improve the current supplier model rather then replace it. In other cases, supplier consolidation, renegotiation or a market review may be recommended.
Can you manage multiple suppliers across different regions?
Yes, Many New Zealand portfolios require a mix of national, regional and local suppliers. Waste Options can help structure and manage that supplier mix so the customer receives clearer reporting, between coordination and strong commercial control.
Can you help with waste procurement?
Yes. Waste Options can support procurement strategy, supplier requirements, tender preparation, response evaluation and commercial negotiation. The goal is to procure the right operating model, not simply reprice the current service.
Why should we not just tender our current waste services?
Tendering the current model may only lock in existing inefficiencies at a new price. Waste Options reviews bin types, collection frequencies, waste streams, reporting needs and supplier structure before procurement decisions are made.
Can you help with reporting and ESG data?
It can be either. Some customers start with a diagnostic or procurement project, while others use Waste Options as an ongoing managed service for supplier coordination, reporting, invoice review and continuous optimisation.
