What is WastePlace?

WastePlace is a waste and recycling marketplace that connects customers to thousands of waste management service providers. Customers can leverage the best service and price the waste industry has to offer. Our comprehensive marketplace handles every aspect of a company's disposal needs, making it easy to shop online for services. We offer options for all lines of business including junk removal, dumpster rentals, recycling, hazardous waste, and commercial disposal. Businesses can streamline the bidding process by getting instant access to haulers in the area, compare rates, and choose the best hauling company for the job. We realize today, more than ever, organizations are trying to reduce costs via automation…why not automate their waste and recycling service 

How do payments work for haulers?

 Haulers are paid via ACH direct deposit. Wasteplace will track each hauler's completed jobs and send out a net payment with our service fee deducted. Haulers are expected to email WastePlace at billing@wasteplace.com a net bill after each completed service. Please see our terms and conditions for more details. The customer's payment is held by WastePlace when the bid is accepted and is transferred after the job has been completed. This guarantees you get paid on time! If a hauler continuously fails to provide the service agreed on by the customer, that hauler will be removed from our vendor list until the problem is resolved.

How much does it cost to join WastePlace?

It is free to create both a customer and a hauler profile on WastePlace.
