Description

Operational Waste Management: Organising Segregation and Steering Your Contractors

Move from approximate segregation to a waste flow organisation that holds up on site and can be measured

  • 1 day — 7 h
  • In-person or virtual
  • Foundation
  • Up to 6 participants

Skips overflow, the posted instructions are no longer read, the waste contractor invoices contamination charges and nobody knows what site waste management actually costs. The subject is often handed to someone who takes it on in addition to their main role, with no diagnostic method and no indicators.

This 7-hour programme approaches waste through organisation rather than through legal texts. It enables you to map the site's waste streams, size storage areas and containers, write instructions that teams genuinely understand, compare contractor offers on a like-for-like basis and build monitoring indicators.

Learning objectives

  • Map the waste streams generated by a site
  • Size segregation areas and containers to match actual volumes
  • Write segregation instructions that operational teams understand
  • Compare collection and treatment offers on a consistent basis
  • Track the full cost and segregation performance of the site

What makes this programme different

A mapping of your own site's waste streams started during the session
A ready-to-use comparison grid for collection offers
Segregation signage examples proven in production environments
