I would not hesitate to recommend EWS to any company looking to significantly reduce costs associated with waste disposal”

Using this matrix, along with site visits at key locations, substantial changes in the service frequencies were implemented by EWS.

Strategic Restaurants was pleasantly surprised at the results produced by EWS. They found and implemented cost reduction solutions and efficiencies we were not realizing and were very thorough in their conducting research, negotiations of favorable pricing, and overall management of our waste and recycling services. We have been impressed and obviously pleased with the services provided to us by EWS.
