A waste audit usually involves collecting, sorting, and measuring waste and recycling streams to understand what materials are being thrown away and whether they are being placed in the correct bins. This information is used to assess contamination levels, identify opportunities to increase diversion, and support waste reduction planning. Waste audits are commonly used by schools, workplaces, municipalities, and businesses to improve recycling programs and track progress toward sustainability goals.
