Waste Audit - Averaging?

Nate, As before a good narrative is essential. The main reason for the audit is to track what is going to recycle, what's going to trash and what could be moved from one component part to another.....so it has nothing to do with 'pick up'. The credit is a snap short of what is being generated in each building. Are the recycles going in the right bin....is there anything going in the trash that could be recycled...etc etc and gaining quantifiable numbers for each component. Those results you have are perfect for 'ongoing', especially if this was a re-certification at the two year mark

Nate, I may be missing your point with .."..demonstrate what is produced as well as recycled". The waste audit, being a snap shot looks at what the building 'produces' as a waste item, a recycled item and all points in between. The 'results' then tell you how well you are doing, what could be recycled (and may require better examples on each recycle bin) and what could be changed in the purchasing of materials coming into the building. An example could be that the waste audit shows that there is a large quantity of solid block polystyrene. By investigative analysis you may be able to find out what tenant or team of tenants is throwing those blocks in the waste stream. Together you may find that there is an alternative packing material available from a manufacturer that would replace these blocks and be better to recycle. After all if you can work out a method to stop any non-recycles entering the building then, theoretically, there would no waste only recycles coming out of the building. I hope that helps to answer both questions.
