If a project has 2 separate haulers (one for trash, and one for recycling), then is it necessary to conduct both audits at the same time? Will the credit be denied/pending if the trash audit was conducted one day, and then 30 days later the recycling audit? (assuming both audits meet requirements, occur during the performance period, and happen on normal-operating/non-holiday days). Thanks!

I think this would be acceptable as long as you clearly demonstrate that each separate audit examined all of the waste (either trash or recycling) that was generated at the project building for an equivalent amount of time. So, your collection period should be the same for each audit (i.e. 1 day, 1 week, etc.). As long as you can show that each audit is representative of the total building waste stream, it should be fine.
