Our Clean Audit Protocol & Process
How much does a commercial Waste Audit cost?
Waste audits are priced as a transparent, flat project fee. The cost is calculated based on the specific classification of your facility (commercial office, retail mall, hotel, hospital, manufacturing, or residential) and the total number of sorting streams currently managed on site. Contact us today for a fixed quote within 1 business day.
What is your on-site protocol, and how do we prepare for the audit?
To guarantee the highest level of data accuracy and maintain a completely hygienic workflow, we utilize a standardized 24-Hour or 48-Hour Sample-Bag Audit:
- The Preparation: Prior to our team arriving on site, your facility staff will set aside a designated, securely tied sample lot representing your property's standard 24 or 48-hour waste generation window.
- The Science: Our auditors do not dig loose through uncontained, open dumpster grime. By physically opening, segregating, and weighing properly tied, cross-sectional sample bags, we isolate exact material streams without cross-contamination.
- The Advantage: This clean, systematic approach ensures your building receives hyper-accurate capture and diversion metrics while leaving your waste enclosure completely spotless when we depart.
Will the on-site waste sort disrupt our tenants or daily operations?
Not at all. Because we require your sample bags to be set aside beforehand, our team operates quickly, quietly, and discreetly inside your designated loading bay or waste enclosure. Your tenants, residents, and daily commercial traffic will not experience any operational disruptions or aesthetic inconveniences.
We already get tonnage summaries from our waste hauler. Why do we need an independent audit?
Hauler invoices only show the total weight of the dumpsters they physically pull from your property. They cannot tell you what is inside those bins. Our independent on-site audits reveal your true “capture rate”—showing you exactly how much recyclable cardboard or compostable organic material is accidentally being thrown into the landfill stream, costing you unnecessary weight and contamination penalties.
