Sauder Schelkopf is investigating a potential class action on behalf of entities that contracted with Republic Services, Inc. for trash disposal. It has been alleged that Republic increases its prices in excess of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). It is further alleged that Republic increases prices by charging a Fuel Recovery Fee. Sauder Schelkopf represented dentists, physicians, and veterinarians as part of the $295,000,000 nationwide class action settlement. The lawsuit claimed that Stericycle engaged in a practice of imposing Automated Price Increases in violation of the contracts with certain of its customers. The class included more than 246,000 dentists, veterinarians, and other small business owners across the country. This was a Top 20 Settlement in the United States in 2018.
