We will visit your site and undertake waste audits - examining processes that give rise to waste, opportunities to minimise waste and increase re-use, audit waste containers assessing fill-rates, levels of recyclables in residual waste, as well as levels of contamination in the recycling streams. The audits will be an iterative process, delivered over several weeks so that interventions and support needed are identified and progress towards making improvements tracked and recorded.

Following each audit we will provide feedback on our findings and can provide support for businesses to ensure that they amend their in-house activities to minimise waste and maximise recycling. We can also help each business implement the internal changes to deliver improvements. 

At the end of the audits, each business will be supplied with a report identifying compliance with environmental legislation (including the Workplace Recycling Regulations), and highlighting the changes to the waste streams managed and the difference in the Carbon emissions achieved from better practices.  

The report will also provide an optimised specification to aid procurement, with the correct bin requirements, sizes, and collection frequencies for all material streams.  Using existing collection costs, identify what this optimised service would cost.   

The final stage of support will involve providing advice and guidance on how to procure a new, cost-effective and efficient waste collection service. 

Participating business will be helped to ensure that they control the procurement of collections by specifying the service they need and have the knowledge and ability to secure the most cost-effective collections with the greatest environmental benefit.
