Managed waste services for multi-site retail
WHK manages waste and recycling across retail fleets. We clear backrooms and docks of cardboard and film, flex service through seasonal peaks, handle bulky items and remodel debris, and keep every store consistent. One point of contact, one invoice, and national visibility across the fleet.
In retail, cardboard fills the back room and remodels hit the whole fleet
Inbound shipments bury back-of-house in cardboard and film, while store buildouts, refreshes, and closures generate debris across locations on tight timelines. Across a fleet of stores, inconsistent programs mean wasted space, lost cardboard value, and scattered reporting.
We clear the back room, capture what's recoverable, and handle remodels consistently, everywhere you operate.
The waste your stores generate
High-volume cardboard and plastic film, mixed recyclables, remodel and rollout debris, store electronics and fixtures, and food waste, we manage the full waste profile across every store.

How WHK manages your retail waste program
We start by mapping what you generate across every location, then standardize your program with one cadence and vetted recyclers everywhere. Scheduled pickups come with chain-of-custody records, and your materials are processed responsibly with diversion and activity rolled into one report.

Simplify, save, and optimize

One managed partner across every store and remodel; we wrangle the haulers, equipment, recyclers, and paperwork.
Save
Right-sizing and consolidated billing cut spend; high-volume cardboard may recover value.
Optimize
Weight, diversion data, and reporting that stand up to audit and feed ESG goals.
A broker hands your assets to whoever's cheapest and disappears. We own
the outcome. Vetted recyclers, real people, full accountability
Two jobs, one partner. Daily cardboard and project-based remodels
Day to day, we clear high-volume cardboard and film and capture recoverable value; project to project, we handle remodel, rollout, and closure debris with the same program and reporting, so a fleet-wide refresh isn't a hundred separate vendor problems.
Responsible routing
High-volume cardboard and film are baled or compacted and routed to recyclers, keeping back-of-house clear and capturing recovery value at scale.
Auditable recovery
Remodel and rollout debris is sorted for maximum diversion, documented by project so fleet-wide programs have clean, consolidated reporting.

Why retailers trust WHK
We don't broker your program. We own the relationship at every location you operate, which means we're answerable for what happens from pickup to final processing.
Every facility in our network is vetted and documented. Chain of custody records follow your materials through every step, giving you the evidence you need for compliance and ESG reporting.
Consolidated data across all locations rolls into one report. No piecing together invoices from five different vendors or explaining gaps in your diversion numbers to auditors.
We own your program end to end, not as a broker passing you between vendors.
