Overall Aims
- Minimise waste to landfill
- Maximise waste segregation and recycling
|
|
Measurement
- Require waste contractors to provide you with the weight (kilogrammes or tonnes) of waste leaving the site by each disposal route (e.g. direct to landfill, direct to be recycled, to a Materials Recovery Facility) – record this data for your property
- Advanced managers will measure by waste type too
|
|
Specific Actions
- Engage with tenants on waste minimisation, discussing how the total quantity, type and level of segregation of waste affects the service charge – regularly share performance data on total waste handled and the proportion recycled with retailers
- Encourage all retailers to co-operate in segregating waste for recycling
- Provide separate storage systems (e.g. coloured bins) for easy segregation
- Label all containers clearly with the waste types allowed
- Provide clear instructions and training to all staff
- Arrange for separated materials to be collected by specialist recycling contractors
- Seek options for dealing with food waste, waste fats and cooking oils; separating these is also important to avoid contaminating recyclable material
- Train and incentivise all staff and retailers in good practice
