The Cura Difference

“The core of what Cura does, and their key differentiator, is finding new homes for items we would normally have disposed of. They do not send everything to a landfill or an incinerator, instead they find another home or another use for it.”

“What I love about Cura’s service is the principle that nothing is waste until you declare it a waste. If a customer can be found that is able to take that product, everybody is better for it. Cura took our waste and cut it in half. We generated roughly 30 tons of waste in 2023, and we cut that down to under 15 tons last year, and our company grew significantly over that period, opening new service centers and expanding our territory. To cut waste in half on top of that growth was a really impressive achievement.”

“Cura is my number one go-to. I am very happy using Cura’s services and will continue to as long as I’m still here. The team is very knowledgeable, provides quick responses, and is easy to work with. When I assign them a project, I don’t have to worry whether it will get done correctly and quickly. That reliability is why I continue to use their services.”

“When we sell a policy, we are also selling the 24/7/365 service that Cura provides. That’s a significant value-add for our customers. Cura got involved on a claim with an original estimate of $400,000. By using its local vendor, identifying a better waste disposal site, and negotiating the final cleanup with the regulatory agency, Cura reduced the final cost to $2,000. Cura’s pre-negotiated contracts with its vendors allow us to have boots on the ground almost anywhere, right away. That speed is critical because a lot of the cost is incurred in the first 24 hours of an emergency. That’s how we contain the situation — by getting someone out there who knows what they’re doing. Cura excels at acting as a liaison with local regulators, interacting effectively with our customers, and quickly assessing what should and can be done.”

“We’re not experts in everything. We know just enough to not get ourselves into trouble. It’s good to have resources like Cura available whenever we’re not sure about something. Our approval process to get contractors onto our approved supplier list is difficult. It’s simpler for us to have one primary emergency response contractor, Cura, which then onboards its own subcontractors. We don’t have to go through the process of approving or working with a plethora of different response companies.”

“A key benefit is their hotline. You can call it, and Cura will call you back in less than 10 minutes to ask where the incident is and how they can help. That’s true even on Christmas Day. The agency could have fined us up to $25,000 for that spill. Instead, because Cura worked so well with the regulator, we weren’t fined at all.”

“I haven’t dealt with a single person at Cura who isn’t on the job and on the spot. Cura is my number one, go-to provider. Another great thing about Cura is their extensive network of contacts.”

“I would absolutely recommend Cura. If you’re an LTL carrier or a waste generator of any kind, you’re crazy not to at least look at Cura’s services.”

“Cura has an established network with outside vendors and has already negotiated pricing. That’s one thing I don’t have to do for our 300 facilities. I can just reach out and say I have a spill, and Cura’s network of people in that area gets the closest, fastest response at the best price.”

“Whether a project goes good, bad, or sideways, Cura takes the brunt of it. Cura is essentially saying, ‘Yep, this is the contractor I hired. This is on me.’”
