Build a team – It is important to build a collaborative team comprised of staff from key areas of your organization – management, procurement, facilities, building management, and waste management – who can show commitment to the waste audit process. Don’t announce the audit date – Plan ahead and decide on a date but the team should commit to keep audit date a secret. The auditing team can observe the real waste production of the organization if the audit is unknown to people who may change their behaviour if they know that a waste audit is going to happen.
