We’ve put together a useful checklist to help you make this decision, with all the key factors in mind. - ## **Are they accredited?**   No doubt, it’s vital your [provider](https://blog.wasteplan.co.za/blog/is-your-service-provider-keeping-their-promise) is legally accredited and regulation compliant. Look for a provider who is as legit in practice as they are on paper. - **Will you know where your waste is going?** You need to know exactly how and where that [waste is headed](https://blog.wasteplan.co.za/blog/where-does-your-waste-go-infographic). Do they have credible and comprehensive feedback structures in place to keep you in the loop at all times? - **Are they fully invested?** You’re looking for a partner behind the logo, not a faceless someone you pulled off the internet. Are they relationally and strategically co-invested to see your waste management goals achieved? - **Do they offer additional services?** You need a [full package](https://www.wasteplan.co.za/waste-management/) that can separate and safely remove your [hazardous waste,](https://www.wasteplan.co.za/industries/) and then optimise your recycling streams from what’s left over. Will your provider be equipped and accredited to manage these[different processes](https://blog.wasteplan.co.za/blog/waste-reduction-vs-waste-disposal-and-reducing-your-carbon-footprint) in a way that makes most financial sense? - **Are they worth what you’d be paying?** Look for the balance [between high quality service and fair price.](https://www.wasteplan.co.za/waste-management/) A good waste management partner will cost you something, but it shouldn’t blow the bank either.
