WASTE AUDIT SOLUTIONS

Goals and Objectives

Waste audits performed by CSRplus Vermicast Industries are designed to:

Categorize and quantify waste composition;
Calculate current diversion rates for recycled and reused materials for the purpose of determining the effectiveness of diversion programs at the facility;
Identify opportunities for improvement or expansion to existing diversion programs;
Document the audit as per Ontario Ministry of Environment and EnergY Requirements (ONT. REG 102/94).

Waste Audit Process

Waste audits are conducted on-site or off-site at a waste transfer facility. Typically a one to three day waste sample is obtained to determine the amount and types of waste generated daily. Whenever possible it is recommended that random samples are used to determine results.

Factors that affect cost:
1. On-site audits reduce transportation costs and costs for use of transfer facilities.
2. Duration of sample period.
3. Area-Breakdown.

Information required to complete the report includes:
1. Number of operating days.
2. Historical waste and recycling tipping records (minimum for last three [3] months).
3. Copies of prior year assessments.

All CSRplus assessments comply with the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Energy’s Guide to Waste Audits and Waste Reduction Work Plans. Quantities and frequency of recyclable material removal are determined with the aid of your waste haulers and your staff. Waste categories are established prior to the audit based on Ontario Ministry of Environment and Energy guidelines.
