General Protocols. Upon receipt of a call, the CSR opens the conversation with a friendly introduction. CSRs are trained to fully listen to the customer’s request, ask clarifying questions, and then repeat the details back to the customer. Once the CSR has verified that they understand the nature of the call, they propose a solution. Once the issue has been resolved to the customer’s satisfaction, the CSR then inputs all appropriate details into the customer service software system. The backbone of CONTRACTOR’s solution for maintaining collection performance, route management, and customer service systems is one developed specifically for the waste industry and heavily used throughout CONTRACTOR affiliate companies and comes with strong support. Ensuring customers are satisfied with services nearly eliminates customer concerns and unnecessary phone calls. In order to increase overall program effectiveness, customer satisfaction and interaction is key. The software application we use integrates all aspects of collection, routing and billing operations to seamlessly and efficiently provide excellent customer service. This enables CONTRACTOR to collect data that allows us to itemize specific issues for the operations team so they can monitor issues and ensure that any operational issues are handled and remedied quickly. A few examples of the issues and resolutions that we experience and specifically track include the three most common, described below: Accessibility to the CSR database for off‐site users is managed through terminal services. Network access is granted and users of the system are assigned access rights, which are limited based on department and position. Appropriate staff will be assigned a user ID with access rights to view real‐time work orders, current account data, service levels, notes, numbers and types of complaints and/or compliments, and collection days.

General Protocols. All encountered soils will be properly characterized in the field and findings will be recorded in logbooks.

Prior to and after the collection of each material sample, the sample collection instrument will be properly decontaminated to avoid cross-contamination between samples. Soils selected for sampling purposes will be composite or grab samples from discreet four-foot core intervals, grab samples from soils exposed in test pits, or grab samples from surface locations. Soil sampling will be biased towards surface soils (0 to 2 inches below ground surface after removal of the vegetative cover), soils at the groundwater interface, and any soils with elevated PID readings, unusual odors, discoloration, or, any other field evidence of contamination.
