Waste Audits
A Waste Audit is a powerful tool that can be used to cut costs, improve recycling, and optimize operational efficiency. Memphis Recycling Services provides comprehensive waste audits built around your exact waste streams, equipment, and workflow.
What Is a Waste Audit?
A waste audit is a detailed study of all the waste your business generates. It reveals what materials you produce, how much of each category you discard, how much could be recycled, and where inefficiencies or costs are hidden. Memphis Recycling Services uses this audit to build a right‑fit service plan designed around accuracy, efficiency, and cost‑reduction.
Identifies Waste Types
Breaks down paper, cardboard, plastics, metals, food waste, and MSW.
Reveals Inefficiencies
Pinpoints overflow, contamination, under‑utilized containers, and wasted spend.
Right‑Fit Equipment
Determines if compactors, balers, or upgraded containers could reduce hauls.
Data‑Driven Decisions
Provides exact metrics for planning, budgeting, and sustainability goals.
How Memphis Recycling Services Performs a Waste Audit
- Consultation & Site Walkthrough: Review your current setup, services, invoices, and challenges.
- Waste Stream Identification: Analyze materials generated daily, weekly, and seasonally.
- Container Efficiency Review: Measure fullness rates, contamination, and service frequency accuracy.
- Material Volume Calculation: Use weight, volume, and frequency to determine true tonnage.
- Contamination & Loss Analysis: Identify recyclables being thrown away—or trash polluting recycling.
- Cost & Hauling Review: Evaluate billing, overages, unnecessary hauls, and landfill costs.
- Market Alignment: Identify items with rebate value (OCC, metals, select plastics).
- Audit Report: Full findings, charts, photos, equipment recommendations, and savings breakdown.
- Program Implementation: Setup containers, equipment, signage, training, and scheduling.
