Recurring invoice recovery
Efficient recovery of multiple monthly or quarterly billing cycles from a slow-paying commercial client.
Waste management and recycling
Debt recovery for waste management and recycling businesses
Commercial waste contracts generate recurring invoices that slow-paying clients take for granted — until they receive a recovery notice. Merion recovers overdue waste accounts on a commission-only basis.
Waste management and commercial recycling businesses are in a peculiar position: their service is essential, but their invoices are among the last to be paid. Commercial clients continue to generate waste — and expect it collected — while invoices age on the accounts payable queue. By the time a waste contractor stops service, arrears may cover several months of collections, skip hires, bin lifts or materials processing.
The sector's recurring-invoice structure means overdue accounts accumulate quickly and often involve multiple monthly billings from a single commercial client. Construction sites are a significant client segment: skip hire, concrete and soil disposal and demolition waste removal generate invoices across project timelines, and when a construction company slows payment, every service contractor in the chain absorbs the delay — including the waste company that has been removing material week after week.
Industrial and commercial waste processing — liquid waste, hazardous materials, confidential document destruction — involves larger individual invoices and a client base that can range from manufacturing plants to government agencies. The same overdue-account dynamic applies, with the added complexity that service must often continue even as arrears grow, because stopping service mid-contract carries its own commercial risk.
Merion recovers commercial accounts for waste management businesses, skip hire operators, recycling processors and commercial waste contractors. We understand recurring-invoice billing structures and the account dynamics common in this sector.
