The Environmental Recovery Fee on your hotel's waste invoice: 16.5% of all charges. Is that number the same as last quarter?
Your waste hauler is not going to call you when fees change. That's what we're for.
TrixieWatch is waste invoice monitoring for hotels. Upload your property invoices, and we check every fee against published hauler rate tables — then email you when something changes, per property.

Fees on waste invoices go unnoticed by hotel executives — not because they don't care. Because no one is watching.
The waste bill is a fraction of a hotel's operating costs, the invoice bundles multiple surcharges into single line items, and larger properties juggle several vendors at once. So it gets paid, filed, and never compared against last month's. That is the gap where hotel waste management fees adjust without notice.
Fuel surcharges
Indexed to published tables that move quarterly — and the rate on your invoice doesn't always move with them.
Environmental fees
One national hauler's published FAQ sets its Environmental Recovery Fee at 16.5% of invoice charges, excluding tax. A percentage of everything else — so it grows whenever anything else does.
Admin fees
Flat charges that appear, change amount, or duplicate between invoices — rarely announced, easy to miss at the bottom of page two.
Managing waste across each hotel property is one of the most overlooked tasks in a chain. We make it automatic.
Every property gets its own invoice — often from a different hauler, on a different rate table, with fees that change on different schedules. Each GM sees one bill. Nobody sees the pattern across your portfolio.
Per property
Each location is monitored against its own invoice history. A fee change at one property never hides behind a normal month at another.
Any hauler mix
TrixieWatch reads invoices from WM, Republic Services, GFL, and other haulers — so a mixed-vendor portfolio still gets one consistent check.
One report
You get a single email covering every location: what changed, where, and by how much. Plans cover 1 to 15+ properties — see pricing.
What does billing drift look like?
Billing drift is the slow movement of line-item fees from one invoice to the next. No single step looks alarming — which is exactly why it goes unnoticed. Here's what it looks like:
“When his bill hit $380, he called his hauler to report a billing mistake. It wasn't one. It had been $220 when he started — two and a half years earlier.”
TrixieWatch compares each new invoice against your baseline and flags the month a number moves — not two and a half years later.
