Assessing Waste Collection Services for Environmental and Operational Standards
Waste collection services are assessed against the GECA Waste Collection Services Standard WCSv1.0ii-2018. We have assessed dozens of collection sites and processing facilities in Sydney and Melbourne for waste streams including co-mingled recyclables, cardboard, organic waste, general waste and grease traps.
Desktop and On-Site Verification of Waste Management Practices
Each project included a desktop assessment of waste management plans, SOP’s, segregation and contamination control, containers and containment, chain of responsibility and records of staff and contractor competence, waste collection reporting and declarations. On-site assessments are done of the central management operations and a statistical sample of collection sites, processing and sorting facilities and final disposal sites to verify control measures for waste identification and segregation, environmental management, worker competence, health safety and legal compliance. Ongoing surveillance includes unannounced site audits.
