Waste Audits & Procurement:
Do you
know what and how much you throw away? We do. When we conduct a
waste audit, we will identify exactly how much and what kind of
garbage and recycling moves through your waste stream. Our complete
waste stream audit report will identify ways that you can divert
waste from landfills/incinerators and improve recycling practices.
For those in the process of becoming LEED certified, the waste
stream audit fulfills MR Credit 6 of LEED ED: O & M (1 point). No
matter the reason, conducting a waste audit is the first step to
ensure that you are an environmentally responsible corporate citizen
when it comes to solid waste.
What is a waste audit and why do one?
A waste audit is
a formal, structured process used to quantify the amount and types
of waste being generated by an organization. Information from audits
will help identify current waste practices and how they can be
improved. Being waste-wise can mean:
The waste audit
approach to waste-resource assessment is an important first step
towards a comprehensive waste reduction program for your
organization. It will help you and your organization assess your
current generation of solid waste and to plan the changes necessary
to comply with internal and external regulations. A waste assessment
can be an extremely valuable experience to a forward-thinking
organization. By following this visual estimate approach your
organization will be in an excellent position to implement a sound
Waste Reduction Action Plan and help turn waste into resources.
What are the objectives of the audit?
The audit's
objectives will largely determine the waste types and physical
locations to be audited. Some examples of audit objectives could be:
-
To determine
composition and quantities of waste being generated
-
To measure
effectiveness of existing waste management systems
-
To identify
opportunities for improving waste management systems and
strategies
- To
collect baseline data for measuring the effectiveness of waste
minimization strategies
