Determine the best time period over which to collect the waste sample. Typically, project teams audit the amount of waste generated over the course of a standard 24-hour day (not a holiday or half-day). Buildings should collect a sample over a longer time period if they expect significant variation from day to day—the key is to pick a day or time period that is actually representative. Do it right so you get something out of it.
