What is included in the product
Written 5 Forces Analysis in Word
The Word document includes a comprehensive Porter's Five Forces Analysis tailored for garbage collection: executive summary, five force pages with sector-specific drivers, mitigation strategies, scoring guidance, and editable narrative for business plans and investor decks.
Customizable Excel Spreadsheet
The Excel workbook provides a high-level overview: editable force ratings, color-coded radar chart, sensitivity table for tipping fees and fuel, and customizable charts for quick strategic snapshots.
Instant Access & Easy Customization
Download immediately and edit every section; fields and charts are unlocked so you can swap region-specific data, add local contract terms, and update pricing scenarios in minutes. The template uses plain headings and notes to speed customization for RFPs, board decks, or sales briefs. One quick edit fits a new city or a specific commercial vertical.
Covers All Five Competitive Forces
The template breaks down industry rivalry, buyer power, supplier power, threat of substitutes, and threat of new entrants with waste-collection examples and scoring guidance. Each force includes drivers, impact statements, mitigation tactics, and a 1-5 pressure rating you can tweak. Use the force scores to prioritize investment in fleet, customer retention, or recycling partnerships.
Industry-Specific & Market-Relevant
Content is written specifically for garbage collection and recycling operations: suburban residential routes, small commercial accounts, yard waste, and bulk pickup. The template calls out municipal contracting, tipping fees, MRF relationships, and fleet maintenance as sector drivers. Add local tipping fee numbers and route utilization to get a realistic competitive read.
Clear & Professional Formatting
Layouts are clean, professional, and slide-ready: one-page executive summary, five dedicated force pages, and an Excel dashboard with charts. Text blocks, bullets, and tables follow investor-friendly structure so you can paste into a pitch or ops report without reformatting. Each page prints neatly for board packets or municipal meetings.
Investor & Business-Plan Ready
The analysis is formatted to appear in investor decks and business plans: concise problem, force ratings, key risks, and mitigation levers tied to unit economics and subscription revenue. Use the template to justify pricing, explain customer stickiness, and show how route density or contract wins move margins. It supports due diligence conversations.
Compatible with Excel & Google Sheets
The Excel file contains a visual dashboard: force pressure ratings, a radar chart, editable assumptions, and a quick sensitivity table for tipping fees or fuel price shocks. It opens in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets without losing formulas or charts, so analysts can run scenarios on desktop or in the cloud.
Time-Saving, Pre-Written Content
All sections come pre-written with sector examples and suggested mitigations so you don't start from scratch; that shaves hours from research and drafting. Replace the placeholder numbers with local data and you have a ready analysis for customer pitches, municipal bids, or investor updates in under an hour. Saves time for founders and consultants.

This template fits consulting engagements and market audits: reuseable force pages, a deliverable-ready Word doc, and an Excel scoring sheet. Use it to standardize competitor assessments across client accounts or to produce quick benchmarking reports for municipal partners. It speeds audits and keeps findings consistent.
