Waste Audits
A Large metropolitan Council in Victoria commissioned us to undertake a waste audit of a number of Council buildings and operations. The primary purposes were to measure levels of recycling based on a previous audit and then to investigate options to improve the diversion of materials to landfill – by both type and volume. This project involved collecting samples of materials from all these sites and physically sorting into a broad range of categories (27 in total). Accompanying this was investigations into the systems utilised by each site as well as staff waste management education programs. This project found that while recycling rates were consistent with the audit undertaken several years ago, there were many opportunities identified to reduce contamination of the recycling streams and reduce leakage of recyclables into the general waste – as an example, approximately 50% by volume of the general waste was in fact materials that were recyclable. Recommendations ranged from ensuring recycling bins were correctly located to introducing systems for organics (20% by volume of materials audited were organics), and other materials. Importantly, the strategies developed were individual to each site so as to ensure that the revised waste/recycling systems were sustainable and cost-effective.

Detailed Waste Due Diligence Reporting To Ensure Compliance
A detailed Waste Due Diligence report will identify environmental liabilities, the levels of risk associated with one or many sites, and identify approximate costs associated with any identified risks. Waste Due Diligence will also help to identify where any statutory or governmental regulation non-compliance has occurred.
The important nature of waste due diligence reporting requires experts who can identify and clearly understand every aspect of the waste management cycle. Waste due diligence typically focuses on two main areas:
- Is the data that has been reported or being reported, accurate?
- Is all waste and recycling material that is generated at each property managed in line with the environmental legislation of each state.
Through a detailed analysis of current reporting, past reporting, land-use and other site-specific details, Waste Audit GFA Consulting Group can clearly document the systems and practices currently in place, what is required, and verify the waste and recycling facility’s legal ability to accept materials currently being received.
Waste Audit GFA Consulting Group has the necessary experience in all levels of waste management and waste audit reporting, including Environmental Management Planning (EMP) auditing to establish the effectiveness of construction or operational environmental management plans within an organisation, and Environmental Management Systems (EMS) auditing to determine compliance with each of the requirements of AS/NZS 14001:2004.
