Waste audit

It’s a good idea to use a formal checklist to ensure that you’re continually monitoring the amount and type of waste produced and look for ways to reduce and dispose of it responsibly. Our audit document standardises the process.

When and how to use it

Our Waste Audit is a good place to start to understand how much waste you currently create and how much you could save by reducing it.

It’s advisable to use the form once every two years, and more often if necessary. It includes four tables:

• audit details
• current processes
• waste recording
• waste disposal strategy.

Complete as much of the document as you can to get the full picture of your waste requirements and opportunities. Use the data gathered from the audit to highlight areas for improvement in your waste management process and develop a strategy to reduce and dispose of waste.
