WHY A FREE WASTE AUDIT IS THE SMARTEST MOVE YOU CAN MAKE

Why a free waste audit is the smartest move you can make.

A waste audit is a focused, one-day assessment of how your business generates and manages waste. Our experienced sustainability team spends the day on-site observing, recording, and analysing every waste stream.

The quickest way to cut waste costs AND meet your sustainability goals? Understand your waste.

An in-depth waste audit gives you a clear, data-backed view of every waste stream on your site, revealing how your business can save money, improve efficiency, and take real steps toward Zero Waste To Landfill (ZWTL).

It’s literally one day of access that can completely transform how you manage waste – and how much you pay for it.

So, what exactly is a waste audit?

A waste audit is a focused, one-day assessment of how your business generates and manages waste. Our experienced sustainability team spends the day on-site observing, recording, and analysing every waste stream.

We identify:

• The types and volumes of waste being generated
• How materials are stored, sorted, and collected
• Any waste streams that should be recycled
• Where inefficiencies, contamination, or unnecessary costs occur

The result? A clear, data-driven snapshot of your waste, plus practical steps to improve it.

Accurate insights = higher diversion rates + lower costs

After your free audit, we can provide a site-specific report and quote with:

• Waste diversion potential
• Recycling and treatment recommendations
• Optimal bin sizes and collection schedules

It’s a proven method for setting realistic diversion targets and cost expectations. Once inefficiencies are fixed, costs go down and diversion rates rise.

Continuous improvement, not a once-off

We audit our own performance on every client site four times a year.

These regular checks help us:
• Spot new opportunities
• Find smarter, cheaper solutions for difficult waste
• Pass savings directly to clients

That’s how we’ve built long-term partnerships based on transparency and measurable results.

Turning waste data into real results

1. From 65% to 90% in 60 days
   An office and vaccination centre jumped from 65% to 90% diversion after an audit pinpointed where recyclables were being lost. Within one month, rates hit 81%. Thirty days later - 90%.

    

2. Extra 8 tonnes diverted at no extra cost
   A casino site pushed its target from 90% to 95%. Instead of costly alternatives, an audit revealed two underperforming streams. By optimising recovery, diversion has stayed above 95%.
   
   
3. National hospital group: data-led training
   Across 24 sites, audits showed organic contamination lowering recycling rates. A national training rollout followed - and within weeks, diversion topped 80%.
   
   
4. Colour-coded sorting = cleaner streams
   At a corporate HQ, mixing wet and dry waste was the issue. After introducing colour-coded bags, contamination fell and diversion rose above 90% in four months.
   
   
5. Smart procurement for lasting results
   Another audit uncovered inconsistent canteen packaging. By shifting to recyclable, biodegradable options, the client hit its 90% target through smarter purchasing.

Insight is the real catalyst

Real progress starts with clarity. Audits remove the guesswork, showing exactly where to act and how to keep improving. Each site tells its own story - our job is to listen to the data and turn insight into measurable results.

When you can see the full picture, change isn’t complicated - it’s the next logical step.

The next step is simple

One day. One team. No disruption. No downtime. Just a smarter way to manage waste.
