Overview
This protocol will help you conduct a LEED-EBOM-compliant waste audit. It can also be useful in any situation where you want to establish a baseline for the types and quantities of waste leaving your building.
Waste Audit Process
A waste audit is a process for evaluating the materials in your building waste stream, and assessing whether materials are being disposed of correctly. Teams collect the waste during a designated collection period and then physically sort through it and quantify the amount of each material type. The waste audit process allows building managers to identify opportunities for diverting waste streams away from the landfill and toward recycling or composting.
