As part of our waste audit, we analyse your waste streams, identify hidden inefficiencies and create a tailored roadmap to help you save money, boost recycling and reduce what you send to landfill
Most businesses don’t know what they’re really paying for when it comes to waste disposal – and that’s where a waste audit comes in.
A waste audit identifies what you’re generating, where it’s going and how to improve your waste management to reduce costs and increase profitability.
At Comet, our audit examines the types and the volumes of waste moving through your organisation and pinpoints exactly where it’s coming from. We might talk to your employees, cleaners or contractors who often have first-hand information on the flow of waste in your organisation, and any problem areas. We’ll then provide an action plan – a tailored set of recommendations that include:
Sure, it can seem like an unnecessary expense up front. But skipping a waste audit – or sticking with outdated systems – can significantly impact your efficiency, compliance and profitability.
Without clear visibility into what you’re actually producing or throwing away, it’s almost impossible to identify what’s working, or where you could be saving money.
You could end up overpaying for waste collection due to inefficient bin sizes. You might be at risk of penalties for contaminated waste streams. And you’re likely missing opportunities to recycle or reuse materials that shouldn’t end up in landfill.
Did you know?
Many organisations end up with significant savings on waste management after an audit, thanks to adopting better practices and recycling opportunities. Imagine you’re a small business spending $100,000 on waste management annually and the audit helps you whittle that down by 10%? That’s a decent cost saving for your business.
