Not if you are with Team Waste. From cable TV to online ticket vendors, utilities, airlines and hotels, companies are piling on more and more hidden fees that result in higher bills for consumer. Overall, 85% of Americans say they have encountered an unexpected or hidden fee in the past two years for a service they had used, according to a recent nationally representative survey of 2,057 U.S. adults, conducted by Consumer Reports (CR). Unfortunately, solid waste collection companies are no different. Overtime, the entire waste industry has snuck in hidden fees that can even cost you more than your actual payment for services! Your Garbage Bill May Reflect Skyrocketing Hidden Fees Waste companies now charge customers ever increasing Environmental Recovery Fees, Fuel Recovery Fees, Administrative Fees, and now even COVID-19 fees without much justification or rise in actual costs. Waste collection companies even charge these fees when actual operation costs, such as fuel, are going down. Charges for paper invoices are also a common fee charged to “recoup” paper and mailing cost, yet the fee is usually higher than the actual cost. In addition, some major companies are charging customers exuberant surcharges for extra materials being outside or on top of waste containers. These extra fees and surcharges, on top of yearly rate increases, make a good waste collection rate balloon into an unmanageable expense for your business.
