Step 2

Waste flow configuration

Required on every WFM quote. PORTER recommends a configuration automatically from the entered scope — the estimator can override it.

Auto-classification: Centralized Waste Flow — No distributed collection points and no significant internal transfer.

Pricing is tailored to each property's waste-flow configuration. Final pricing considers service frequency, waste infrastructure, internal waste movement, collection requirements, container volume and operational complexity.

Step 3

Waste infrastructure

What exists in the building. Existence alone never adds price — only PORTER responsibilities do.

Number of chutes

Chute rooms

Recycling collected in chute rooms

Step 4

Responsibility matrix

Only PORTER-assigned responsibilities affect PORTER workload pricing.

Bring recycling downstairs
Chute-room bag replacement
Internal waste transfer
Main bin room management
Container staging
Container return
Waste room cleaning
Chute room care
Compactor management

Step 5

Internal waste transfer

The most important WFM pricing driver — far more than whether chutes exist. Adjustments are internal only and never shown to the customer as surcharges.

Chute / distributed operations

No chute rooms, or chute rooms PORTER does not service, means this module prices at $0. Routine care never includes deep cleaning.

Is PORTER responsible in chute rooms?

Wall washing, machine scrubbing, heavy degreasing, organic buildup removal, intensive odour treatment and restoration cleaning are never automatic — they belong to Waste Environment Deep Cleaning™.
