Take a Closer Look
At Your Waste

Whether you are a business or an individual consumer, auditing your waste can be a real eye opener. A waste audit is when you sort your waste by material type so that you can visibly see how much of each material you are throwing away and determine areas of improvement. For example you can sort your waste by paper, food waste, soft plastic, etc. and you can get as granular as you want. Once you sort your waste, you can determine where to focus your efforts to better sort material types, reduce certain materials from your waste stream by switching to a reusable or more sustainable alternative or eliminate waste materials altogether. Now let’s get to sorting.
