Business Challenge
Since inception, UniversalCare’s primary focus has
been to provide compassionate and professional care
for their residents by supporting their administrative
and nursing teams and by going above and beyond industry standards in their homes.
To better manage their waste and recycling programs which included multiple invoices from many different vendors, UniversalCare recognized the benefit of working with a partner that
could focus on streamlining the purchasing and management of these services.
In 2018, UniversalCare partnered with RecycleSmart to
work towards efficiently managing their waste and
recycling services with a managed services partner. RecycleSmart has worked with UniversalCare to streamline and improve their waste and recycling programs while adding new locations to the portfolio.
