Is it only to bring profit out of your waste material or it s much bigger than your local business benefits All the participants and coordinators involved in the waste audit program should have a clear purpose and detailed understanding for a better economic and environmental outcome. You may take help from regional waste education officers for more insights and inspections. Step- 2 Select the participants and study field For the best outcome of the audit select two or more representatives from each department of your organisation- production management research and development etc. Because every department is directly or indirectly responsible for the waste stream of your business. Whether you want to include a third-party audit team or not make sure you have a collaborative team with a good number of volunteers on your own who are directly associated with your business. Consider an expert inspection and observation throughout the process as well. Include your outside custodial staffs if you have any to empty the trash bins beforehand. Next make sure your audit date and study field is confidential to the non-participants by signing up a confidential agreement. In that way the auditing team can observe the usual waste production and generation of your business and come up with the most effective solution. Typical workdays are the perfect days to run the audit. Step- 3 Get the necessary equipment When you are done with choosing the most convenient place dates and potential participants- you can get ready for the hands-on approach. Make sure your participants are involved with the waste audit wearing protective aprons and protective gears. Here are some necessary gears you ll need- Latex or non-latex rubber gloves goggles face mask durable tongs aprons- For participants Labelled boxes bins- for sorting the trash categories Trash grabbers pickers Clipboards- for recording the findings Large containers for disposing of waste A portable scale for measuring large amounts and holding the containers Handwashing station Step- 4 Sort the collected waste by category Collected waste should be sorted by the source and the type of waste. Here are some categories you can primarily make- Liquid waste- organic liquids waste detergents polluted water Organic compostable waste- food waste rotten meat garden waste dead leaves grass clippings Solid rubbish- plastic waste metallic waste ceramic and glass waste paper waste Hazardous waste- chemically reactive substances flammable substance corrosive substances Recyclable waste- This type of waste should be sorted from solid rubbish. Plastics glass cardboard textiles electronics metal etc. On the final day of the waste audit make the average percentages of every type of waste found throughout the process. Measure all the trash category to get a baseline of how much trash is generated on a weekly or monthly basis. Label each trash bin and document the sources of your trash findings. The sources will give you a precise estimation and the most waste generating departments. Step- 5 Analyse the results and findings Once the waste audit is completed you will probably be surprised by the outcome of your company s waste habits. Consider comparing the amount of waste in each category and the sources. Present all the findings and comparative data in a written report. This report will help you determine the renewable compostable and biodegradable resources out of the trash that has been misused all this time.
