Waste audits are the process of quantifying the amount and type of waste being generated by an organization. These audits help identify current waste practices and how they can be improved. Our audit process will also help to engage your employees in waste-reduction efforts, measure the efficacy of existing programs and initiatives, and identify opportunities for improvement.

We are here to provide businesses and organizations a basic understanding of what’s recyclable and compostable, and what is not!

We can help your business comply with Vermont’s Universal Recycling Law, which bans all food scraps from the trash. We will assist you with that transition by explaining how the law applies to your organization, providing onsite assistance and guidance, and addressing any questions you may have!
