Yes. We work both types. Commercial accounts (businesses, property managers, construction sites) are handled as business-to-business recovery. Residential accounts (individual account holders) are collected under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and CFPB Regulation F, with required validation notices and dispute rights honored throughout. We do not collect consumer debt in California, Oregon, or Washington.
Waste Management Collection Services

Waste Management Collection Services
Running a waste management company means keeping trucks on the road, crews on schedule, and routes covered every single week. What it should not mean is spending your operations budget chasing down accounts that have not paid. Unpaid collection accounts drain cash faster than most haulers expect, and the longer those balances sit, the harder they are to recover. Southwest Recovery Services works past-due waste management accounts so your team can stay focused on the work that actually keeps the business running.
Time Is Working Against You
Recovery Rates Drop the Longer You Wait
Debt in the waste management industry ages quickly. A commercial account that is 60 days overdue is recoverable. The same account at 180 days becomes a different conversation. We work both commercial and residential past-due accounts, and we start fast. Our team contacts delinquent account holders promptly, follows structured escalation steps, and keeps pressure on the account without pulling your dispatchers or billing staff off their actual jobs. Early action is the single biggest driver of successful recovery.
One Team for Every Account Type
We Handle Both Commercial and Residential Accounts
Waste haulers deal with two very different types of past-due accounts. On the commercial side, the debtor is a business: a restaurant group, a property manager, a construction site, a retail chain. On the residential side, the account holder is an individual. We manage both. Commercial collections are handled as business-to-business recovery. Residential accounts are collected in compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and CFPB Regulation F, with validation rights and professional communication standards throughout. We do not collect consumer debt in California, Oregon, or Washington.
Firm Without Burning Bridges
Professional Contact That Protects Your Reputation
Your drivers are in those neighborhoods every week. Your trucks have your name on them. A collection call that goes wrong can damage customer relationships you have spent years building. Our agents approach every contact with the same professionalism you expect from your own team. Calm, firm, and direct. We communicate the urgency of a past-due balance without the tactics that generate complaints or turn a recoverable account into a lost customer. The goal is payment, not conflict.
We Know the Billing Details
Industry Knowledge Speeds Up Resolution
Waste management billing has its own quirks. Route changes, service frequency disputes, environmental surcharges, and contract terms all come up when accounts push back. Our collectors understand how waste management billing works. That means fewer disputes drag on and more accounts resolve without escalation. We know what documentation to ask for, how to address a disputed charge, and when to involve a supervisor. Generic collectors do not have that background. We do.
Zero Cost Until We Collect
Contingency Pricing, No Upfront Cost
We collect on a contingency basis. You pay us nothing until we recover funds on your behalf. Our fee is a percentage of what we bring in. If we do not collect, that account costs you nothing. That structure matters for haulers watching margins because it means you can place accounts with us without adding a fixed cost to your books. You get experienced debt recovery working your accounts from day one, with no out-of-pocket investment to get started.
A Clear Process, Start to Finish
What Working With Southwest Recovery Looks Like
You submit your past-due accounts to us. We intake them, verify the balances, and begin structured contact through phone, written notice, and follow-up. You get regular status updates so you know exactly where each account stands. Our team handles escalation, documents every contact attempt, and pursues resolution through our full recovery process. You get your time back and a better chance of recovering what you are owed. Southwest Recovery Services operates across Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and three additional states, covering the regional markets where most waste management fleets run.
