Learning from a Company-wide Waste Audit | How much of your office garbage is heading to landfills? It’s a question responsible enterprises are asking and, where they aren’t asking of their own volition, government regulations are demanding it of them. Conducting a waste audit leaves nothing to the imagination about how wasteful – or not – a company is. The audit is a set procedure that investigates how much waste is “captured” to be recycled, re-directing to a composting facility, hazardous waste disposal centers, or sent to a landfill. The audit report then makes recommendations for improvement.
