What is Service Area?
Definition
The geographic region where a waste hauling company provides collection services, often defined by boundaries, zip codes, or polygon shapes on a map.
Understanding Service Area
Service areas define where a hauler operates. They may be based on municipal contracts, logistical efficiency, or business strategy. Clear service area boundaries prevent wasted resources on out-of-area requests.
Why It Matters for Waste Haulers
Well-defined service areas improve route efficiency, enable accurate pricing, and prevent customer disappointment from service denials.
