What should I do if I forget my password?

You can use the “Forgot Password” link on your Login page. This link will prompt you to enter your Username and Email Address to start the password reset process. Check your email for password reset instructions.

May I still call in to Customer Care to request a service or report a service issue?

Yes, you may still call Customer Care, 24/7/365, at (888) 625-5323. For Industrial Accounts, select Option #3 when prompted.

If I call Customer Care or place an order through the Portal, will I see my ticket in the

Portal?

Yes, you will see all tickets created for your location(s) whether the request was made through the Customer Care Call Center or placed online. You can view tickets under the “Services” or “Tickets” tabs.

If you are a Corporate Administrator or Manager, you can view your locations by clicking on the “Services” tab. To view service details, select the “Location ID” link in the table.

Service Requests

How do I request same-day service?

The ability to request same-day services, including an “Empty and Return” or “Empty and Do Not Return”, must be granted to a user during initial profile setup. This ability is typically reserved for Industrial customers and not available to the majority of users.

In most cases, if you make your request by 10:00 AM in your time zone, the supplier will be able to provide

hauling service.

To request weekend service, you must contact Customer Service by phone or email. The eBusiness Portal does not allow you to request weekend service.

How do I request same-day service for an Open Top?

The process to submit and set up same-day Open Top requests is the same as for other services.

If a supplier cannot service my same-day request, what happens and how is my location notified?

If the supplier cannot perform the requested service, they will reject the work order, sending notification to the WM SBS Customer Care Center. A Call Center Representative will call the supplier to reschedule the service, and provide an update to the requester.

How soon after I submit my request will the Supplier perform the service?

Service requests are typically handled within 24 to 48 hours.

Can I request multiple “Empty and Return” services on the portal?

Yes, you can request multiple Empty and Return services from your “Services” page.

Customer Portal Reporting

What is the turn-around time for tonnage reporting?

Tonnage is supplied by suppliers within the month, and prior to the next billing cycle. If a supplier provides tonnage more quickly, the information will be available in the Portal the day after it is provided by the supplier.

Do we have access to real-time reporting? If not, what is the lag time?

Your Reporting data is refreshed nightly. Reports reflect data collected as of the close of business on the previous day. Reports such as your “Book of Business” are available from the time you launch as a WMSBS customer. Reports related to tickets and billing will be available as the data is generated (billing-based reports will not have data until your first invoice is released).

What report shows the day(s) on which a location is serviced?

The “Service Requests by Location” report provides all location details, service levels and pricing. This report has filters you can use to refine your search. Select the ‘All’ option in each of the drop down boxes to show the entire book of locations, services and pricing on the program at a micro level.

What Reports can I access on the Portal?

Reports in the following categories are available in summary and detailed form, at a location level as well as

for your overall book of business:

Billing

Book of Business

12. Pressure Gauges Pressure gauges on compactors may come with colored and/or numeric indicators that notify users when to call

WMSBS to request a pickup (empty and return or empty and do not return).

How to Read your Pressure Gauge

Green- The green color indicates the unit is filling, and that

pressure is between 0 and 750 PSI (pounds per square inch).

Yellow- The yellow color indicates the unit is almost full, and

that pressure is between 750 and 1400 PSI.

Red- The red color indicates the unit is full, and that pressure is

between 1400 and1900 PSI.

When your compactor pressure gauge reaches the Red Zone—or a pressure reading around 1800 PSI—it is

recommended that you call for a pickup.
