Why California practices switch providers
The most common reasons practices in California switch medical waste providers:
- Annual rate hikes of 10-20% every year, undisclosed
- Fuel surcharges that change monthly without notice
- Environmental fees, energy recovery fees, and other line items with no clear basis
- Locked-in auto-renewal contracts that require 90+ day written cancellation
- Customer service issues — missed pickups, unreturned calls, container shortages
If any of these sound familiar, run your current invoice through our analyzer to see exactly where your money is going.
