I finally realized I was overpaying for my commercial trash pickup by $150 a month

For two years I was letting my old waste management contract auto-renew without checking rates, until a buddy at the coffee shop told me he pays half for the same service with a local hauler. I called around and found out my contract had a 12% annual price hike clause I never noticed. Who else has caught hidden fees in their commercial service agreements around Detroit?

Wait, you can actually negotiate those things? I always figured contracts were just take it or leave it, but this makes me wanna dig through my own paperwork right now.

Hidden fees are just life's way of testing if you're paying attention to anything.
