Due to high volumes of materials moving in and out of terminals each day as well as the waste generated by fleets of trucks loading, unloading, and repackaging products for shipping and distribution-managing waste and recycling programs for a variety of facilities and vehicles was proving to be a challenge. The good news was that much of the waste generated was recyclable, including materials like corrugated cardboard, wooden pallets, plastic wrap, and more. However, knowing how to efficiently handle all of that within the scope of daily operations proved difficult. That’s where this logistics company turned to RoadRunner for strategic expertise and execution.

By implementing new staging systems, RoadRunner was able to help divert more recyclable from landfills. Additionally, after a full audit, RoadRunner was able to leverage proprietary technology to identify fair market rates and negotiate lower rates for service. With these changes, RoadRunner drove an average of 16% savings.
