Procurement Update

  • Maintenance & Construction
  • Dec 15, 2022

After months of research and negotiations, I’m excited to announce our new relationship with Waste Management. Waste Management has a proven track record of quality equipment, competitive pricing, and excellent support and customer service. Effective January 1, 2023, Republic Services will no longer manage our trash services.


Waste Management has begun the launch process to ensure a seamless transition for all. Depending on who your current local trash hauler is, you may or may not have your dumpster(s) switched out. On 12/13 a list was sent to each property showing if you will have a new carrier. Size and frequency of pick-ups will remain the same as what you have currently. WM is coordinating this with Republic to ensure there is no period without a container. It is possible that you could have your old container and new container at the same time – then your old container will be removed, and the new container will be placed in the designated dumpster enclosure or space.


Please carefully read the attached LAUNCH WELCOME LETTER and keep it handy for easy reference. Stay tuned for information on a training call in January to learn how to use the E-Business Portal, a user-friendly dashboard to help you manage services!


If you happen to receive a call from Waste Management or a local hauler you may tell them that we are contracted with Waste Management National Accounts, or simply have them contact Jon Baaske at 614-362-1795 or via email.


Please let me know if you have any questions.

Tips and Reminders from Procurement

  • If your property experiences a power outage, you may need to reset your P&G Laundry Dispensers after the power is restored.

  • Verify the pricing is correct on your Ecolab Pest service sheet before signing it! Bed Bug Inspections are $75 and Bed Bug treatments are $227.20 which includes 3 treatments over a 2-week period, plus tax.

  • Dumpsters – Never dispose of PTACs, Air Conditions, or refrigerators in your dumpster. This will result in added contaminated waster fees and you could be fined. Avoid overfilling your dumpster as overage fees are being charged when the contents are above the dumpster walls.

  • For easy reference attached is the Red Roof Master Specifications Manual (Brand Standard Items)
