    If a company already has a contract in place, it's probably for a specific amount of time, and will usually come up to re-bid sometime in the future. You might want to ask them when it is available to bid on again.

    If your intent is to create a business, then you need to start there. Get a business license, a resale license, permits, etc. Also look like to the esteward program, as well since you live in California, look into being a licensed recycler so you can accept for example Al cans and be reimbursed for receiving them. If you have these licenses in place, you will be far more likely to land the type of jobs you are attempting to land.

    But first your business, you also need to decide exactly what it is you intend to do, identify your customers both buyers, and sellers. Look at your demographics, companies in your area, I could go on and on but this is really business 101.

    The point is, before you attempt to land these larger accounts, there is a lot more you need to accomplish if you have not already.

    At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan
