The project is going for re-certification and was previously awarded this credit. In the new online form, there are prescribed categories.
In the previous audit summary, separated scrap metal and aluminum cans were separated. Also, food waste and toilet waste were declared separately.
My queries:
1) Should we include both scrap metal and aluminum cans in one category under "metals" or should we retain the separate classification?
2) Should we include both food waste and toilet waste, and possible additions (oil) in one category under "wet waste" or should we retain the separate classification?
Hoping for your assistance.
Thank you and regards,
Pabs

I tend to think that the more categories the merrier, because it gives you a more granular understanding of your building's waste types and the diversion rates for different kinds of materials. I would be extremely surprised if a reviewer flagged you for including additional categories in your audit / on the credit form.
