IMPROVE RECYCLING WITH A WASTE AUDIT
Over the past two decades, new legislation, commercial pressures and public perception have forced all waste producers, industrial, commercial and domestic – to rethink their disposal of all waste materials. As a result, the new culture of “Reduce – Reuse – Recycle – Refuse” has seen more and more companies welcome the change and made this a part of their day to day practices.
If you want to make the change but are not sure where to start our trained recycling specialists can help. Our specialists will carry out a comprehensive waste audit, by carefully examining all waste materials generated to help you can increase the volume of recycling across all materials.
WHAT WE CHECK DURING A WASTE AUDIT
-
The types of waste materials generated
-
The volume and weights of each material generated
-
Current systems in place for internal handling of waste materials
-
Recycling/disposal machinery currently in use
-
The current system for packaging/containing and disposing of each waste stream
-
Waste reporting systems in place and documentation procedures
-
Commercial terms from your current service provider
-
Health and safety requirements at your operations
-
Any space, height or logistical restrictions at your operations
-
The culture and people within your business
-
Any perceived barriers to recycling improvement systems
IMPROVING YOUR WASTE RECYCLING STRATEGY
Waste recycling strategies can include:
-
The removal of personal staff bins and the introduction of centralised recycling hubs, with colour-coded bins to ensure contaminant-free recycling
-
Use of recycling machinery to reduce collection frequencies - eg balers, waste containers, compactors etc
-
Identification of materials for recycling that may previously have been considered only suitable for landfill or energy disposal
-
Promoting the separation of materials for recycling which will enhance the value of these commodities and encourage real, sustainable recycling
