For many propertyowners and managers, the waste and recycling room is seen primarily as anecessary expense. Cleaning, bin washing, collections, and pest controlregularly draw money out of the budget. However, what few consider is that thesingle largest hidden cost in the waste room isn’t dictated by servicecontracts – but by resident behavior.

‍

When a waste room isperceived as dirty, unhygienic, and foul-smelling, people react instinctively.They want to spend as little time inside as possible. This means bags aretossed into the nearest available bin, bulk waste ends up in the wrong spots,and unsorted food waste is crammed in with general household trash. Thisimproper sorting costs property owners tens of thousands of kronorunnecessarily every year.

The Challenge: TheHidden Price Tag of Bad Air

Poor air quality andstench in the waste room create a chain reaction of expensive problem

• High Penalty Fees for Incorrect Sorting: Waste management companies charge heavy     additional fees when recycling containers contain improper materials or     unsorted food waste.
• Increased Cleaning and Pest Control Costs: When people rush out, bags are often left     on the floor. This creates extra cleaning hours and quickly attracts pests     like flies and rats – which in turn requires expensive emergency pest     control.
