ROADRUNNER'S IMPACT

RoadRunner used its proprietary market intelligence technology and its dedicated team of waste and recycling experts to first conduct a waste analysis across 11 Chick‑filA locations to identify a strategy for cost savings and opportunities for increased recycling that could also drive savings. Then, RoadRunner engaged with each specific location to understand their localized challenges, goals and needs. RoadRunner then stepped in to provide day-to-day support and leveraged its network of preferred haulers to eliminate the hassle of waste management for Chick‑filA. Now these locations had RoadRunner as their single point of contact for any waste and recycling needs, while also receiving billing customized to their preferences. The result?
