Page | 1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In accordance with Ontario Regulation 102/94, AET Group Inc. conducted a waste audit of Kitchener City Hall located at 200 King St. West in Kitchener, Ontario from December 16th to 20th, 2019 (waste was collected and generated over a full week, 7 days). The waste audit report is intended to report on the status of the facility with respect to current waste management practices and to calculate an overall waste diversion rate. The diversion rate was calculated based on waste, recyclable fibres, recyclable containers, and organics collected and sampled over 168 hours (7 Days). City Hall currently has recycling programs for corrugated cardboard, blue box recyclable fibres (mixed fine paper, newspaper, magazines/catalogues, boxboard, Kraft paper and molded pulp), recyclable containers (plastics numbered #1 to #7, excluding styrofoam, aluminum, steel, polycoats and glass), and an organics program to collect all compostable materials (food waste, yard waste, tissue/towelling and all compostable papers). Additional diversion programs exist for some hazardous materials such as batteries, printer cartridges, e-waste and fluorescent light bulbs, however, only batteries and fluorescent lamps have been included as most other hazardous materials are outside the scope of this waste audit. Empty paint cans and scrap metal are brought to a Kitchener Operations facility where they are recycled. The weight of paint cans and scrap metal are not included in the audit results. Waste reduction practices include bulk purchasing; purchasing tissue/towelling with recycled content; the use of refillable products; purchasing items in concentrate; and two-sided photocopying and printing. The total annual waste generated by City Hall has been estimated to be 52,963 kg. An estimated 72.39% of the total waste generated is diverted from disposal through recycling and composting, which totals approximately 38,338 kg annually. The non-hazardous materials that are recycled at City Hall include: recyclable fibres (27,400 kg/yr), recyclable containers (2,348 kg/yr), organic material (tissue/towelling, compostable paper, food, leaf & yard waste, and compostable plastic bags) materials (7,461 kg/yr). Approximately 7,362 kg of potentially divertible materials are still being sent for disposal annually, including 4,453 kg/yr of material that could be diverted though City Hall’s current organics program. The waste audit report includes current waste management practices and procedures, an approach and methodology, audit sort results, waste generated by waste zone, and recommendations. An achievable waste reduction work plan is presented at the end of the document that explains how City Hall can further reduce the quantity of waste generated.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Definitions

Capture Rate: The capture rate is the percentage of a recyclable material collected, out of the total amount of that material generated. It is an excellent indicator of how well a recycling program is working for a particular material.

Contamination Rate: The percentage of material in a recycling or organics bin that is not

accepted in the program. A high contamination rate may lead to the hauler not accepting the material for the diversion program and redirecting the material for disposal.

Diversion Rate: The diversion rate is the percentage of the total waste generated that is

diverted from disposal into the various reuse and recycling programs available at the facility.

Garbage Stream: Material that is collected for disposal rather than diversion. It will include

divertible material where the diversion programs are not operating at 100% efficiency. This material is sometimes referred to as residual waste.

HSW: Household Special Waste is material that is potentially harmful to the

environment and should be disposed of through special handlers. Organics: Refers to material that can be composted. The material accepted in an

organics program is dependent on the type of composting facility accepting the material, how it is processed and what quality of processed material is desired.

Recycling Stream: Material that is diverted from the garbage stream in a recycling program

such as; Blue Box recycling, source-separated organics program or scrap metal recycling.

Source-Separated: Refers to material that is separated from the garbage stream at the facility

generating the waste. Tonne: A metric unit equivalent to 1,000 kg. This is sometimes referred to as a

‘metric ton(ne)’ (MT). It is not to be confused with a ‘ton’ (or ‘short ton’) which is the Imperial unit equivalent to 2,000 pounds. All AET reports and appendices use metric units.

Unaudited Material: Material that has not been audited but for which weights have been

provided by the facility or by the waste hauler.


Page | 3

Waste Zone: A waste zone is a predetermined area in the facility from which waste

material is collected for an audit, such that material in all the collection bins in the zone is generated by activities that are similar in nature.

1.2 Background

AET Group Inc. (AET) was contracted by the City of Kitchener (City Hall) to conduct a waste audit and prepare a waste reduction work plan for their facility at 200 King St. West in Kitchener, Ontario. AET conducted the waste audit from December 16th – 20th, 2017 at City Hall. The waste audit was done to examine the waste generated over a seven (7) day sample period (168 hour) and to calculate annual waste disposed for the year based on the samples collected and weighed. Recommendations are provided in this report to assist in reducing the amount of waste sent for disposal and to help formulate a waste reduction work plan. City Hall is the headquarters for the City of Kitchener and includes offices and meeting areas for a wide range of public officials. Waste audits must be conducted and updated annually to meet the requirements of Ontario Regulation 102/94 of the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) as components of the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change 3Rs initiative. The results of the waste audit are then used to design and implement a waste reduction work plan. The work plan forms the basis of the source separation program under Ontario Regulation 103/94. A waste audit is the most effective means of measuring the waste reduction performance of a company. Compliance under Ontario Regulation 102/94 requires that a waste audit and waste reduction work plan be completed, and a written report be prepared annually, if any office building or complex has at least 10,000 m2 of floor area for use as offices. Ontario Regulation 102 – Waste Audits and Waste Reduction Work Plans for Large Industrial, Commercial and Institutional Facilities Part VI: Office Buildings

Sec. 31 (1) Under this regulation the owner of a building or group of buildings, that is at least 10,000 square metres, is required to conduct a waste audit and waste reduction work plan.

Sec. 32 (1) A waste audit is required addressing materials or products used or sold consisting of recycled or reused materials or products.

(2) A written report of the waste audit shall be prepared. (3) The audit and written report is to be updated every year following

the initial waste audit.

Sec. 33 (1) A written report of the waste reduction work plan is to be prepared in accordance with reduction, reuse and recycling the generated waste.

(2) The waste reduction work plan and written report is updated every year following the initial waste reduction work plan.

Sec. 34 Implementation of the waste reduction work plan. Sec. 35 Training and education of the work plan to employees.

The waste reduction work plan forms the basis of the source separation program under Ontario Regulation 103/94.

Ontario Regulation 103 – Industrial, Commercial and Institutional Source Separation Office Buildings:

Sec. 9 (1) Under this regulation the owner/operator of a building or group of buildings, that is at least 10,000 square metres, is required to conduct a source separation program. The waste classes are in compliance with Part V Office Buildings. See Figure 1.1 for schedule of wastes to be provided in the source separation program.

Under Section 2 (1) (d), a reasonable effort should be made to source separate materials in accordance with Part V- Office buildings as per the Schedule Wastes to be Provided for in Source Separation Programs. Figure 1.1 lists the materials to be source separated.

1. Aluminum food or beverage cans. 2. Old Corrugated Cardboard (OCC). 3. Fine Paper. 4. Glass bottles and jars for food or beverages. 5. Newsprint. 6. Steel food or beverage cans.

1.4 Current Waste Management System

City Hall currently has a waste management program in place to divert waste from disposal. There are recycling programs for corrugated cardboard, blue box recyclable fibres (mixed fine paper, newspaper, magazines/catalogues, boxboard, Kraft paper and molded pulp), recyclable containers (plastics numbered #1 to #7, excluding Styrofoam, aluminum, steel and glass), and organic materials (food waste, yard waste and all compostable paper) including tissue/towelling from the washrooms. Additional diversion programs exist for some hazardous materials included within this study such as batteries and fluorescent light bulb lamps. Other hazardous materials such as printer cartridges and e-waste have not been included as they are outside the scope of this waste audit. Waste reduction practices include bulk purchasing; purchasing tissue/towelling with recycled content; the use of refillable products; purchasing items in concentrate; and two-sided photocopying and printing. Quad sorter bins for garbage, recyclable fibres, recyclable containers and organic materials have been distributed throughout the facility. Washrooms have receptacles for paper towel and feminine hygiene products. Facility staff members are responsible for placing garbage and recycling generated at their workstations (desk side) into the centrally located quad sorter bins. Desk side recycling bins are distributed throughout the facility; however, no garbage bins are provided for each workstation. Facility housekeeping staff collect all garbage, recycling and organics from the centralized bins and deposit into carts (recycling & organics) and a 6-cubic yard bin (garbage) located in the loading dock area. Recycling and organics is collected weekly, while the garbage and cardboard bins are emptied three times per week.

1.5 Objectives

The objectives of the waste audit are to:

• Identify the types and quantities of solid, non-hazardous waste materials generated in all waste zones at City Hall;

• Identify and quantify the amount of recyclables generated at the facility; • Review and evaluate current 3Rs practices; • Evaluate current waste disposal methods; • Develop a detailed waste audit report; and to, • Identify waste reduction opportunities to assist in the formulation of a waste reduction

work plan.

1.6 Audit Scope

The scope of the waste audit included a waste composition study of City Hall located at 200 King Street West, Kitchener, Ontario. The study involved a physical audit of solid, non-hazardous waste and recyclable samples generated during a 168-hour (7 day) sample period. Bulk recycling records for shredded mixed fine paper, batteries and fluorescent lamps were provided by City Hall personnel and were used by AET to calculate total annual weights for each material recycled and to calculate an overall waste diversion rate. Though batteries and fluorescent lamps are considered hazardous, these materials were included within the waste study. All other diverted hazardous materials were not included as they are beyond the scope of the waste audit study.

2.0 APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

2.1 Waste Sorting

City Hall staff collected waste for the 168-hour (7 day) period from December 13th – 19th, 2020. Garbage (residual waste), recyclable fibres, recyclable containers, and/or organics were to be collected from all areas within the City Hall building. However, twenty-five (25) areas were audited for garbage, seventeen (17) for recyclable fibres, twenty-one (21) recyclable containers, and thirty-four (34) for organics. It should be noted that all waste generating areas within City Hall may not have all 4 streams of waste generation and therefore may not have the corresponding waste receptacles. Samples were collected from the following areas: A-1 - Main Floor Conestoga Room/Heritage Room, A-1 - Main Floor Rotunda, A-1 - Main Floor Everest Room, A-2 - Berlin Wing Clerks, CAO’s Office, A-3 - Berlin Wing Finance Division, A-4 - Berlin Wing Public Area, A-5 - Berlin Wing Entire Floor, A-6 - Berlin Wing Entire Floor, A-7 - Berlin Wing Entire Floor, A-8 - Berlin Wing Entire Floor, A-9 - Berlin Wing Entire Floor, A-10 - Berlin Wing Entire Floor, B1-EW - Eby Wing Washrooms, B-2 - Eby Wing Mayor’s Office, B-2 - Eby Mayor’s Office Washroom, B-2 - Eby Wing Communications, B-2 - Eby Wing Washrooms (By Communications), B-3 - Berlin Wing Washrooms, B-4 - Berlin Wing Washrooms, B-5 - Berlin Wing Washrooms, B-6 - Berlin Wing Washrooms, B-7 - Berlin Wing Washrooms, B-8 - Berlin Wing Washrooms, B-9 - Berlin Wing Washrooms, B-10 - Berlin Wing Washrooms, C-1 - Eby Wing Welcome Centre, C-3 - Eby Wing Human Resources, C-4 - Berlin Wing Supply Services, D-3 - Eby Wing Daycare Centre, D-4 - Berlin Wing Legal Services, E-1 - Print Shop, E-3 - Eby Human Resources Washrooms, G-2 - Eby Wing Upper Rotunda, L - Loading Dock, L - Loading Dock Washrooms, P - Parking Garage, and X - Exterior. AET staff conducted the waste audit from December 16th – 20th, 2020. A digital scale, with precision to 0.01 kg, was used to weigh the sorted waste material. The contents of each sample were examined and separated into their appropriate waste categories in plastic totes (sorted waste) and weighed individually. A detailed list of material categories can be found in Appendix D. The plastic totes were tarred and zeroed to calculate the net sample weight for each waste category. This process was repeated for each waste zone. Once all the waste material was classified and weighed, the non-divertible material was put into a waste bin, and the recyclable materials and organic materials were placed into separate bins for recycling and composting.

2.2 Assumptions & Calculations

Assumptions The assumptions used when assessing the waste audit results are as follows:

▪ That the samples gathered over the collection period when extrapolated for annual waste disposed are representative of the composition of waste generated over the year.

▪ That the annual estimate is based on 5 working days and 2 weekend days per week and 52 equivalent weeks of operation per year.

▪ That the unaudited recycling information provided by the City is accurate.

Calculations The calculations used to analyze the waste audit results are as follows: Capture Rate –

(weight of material diverted

total weight of material generated)×100%

Contamination Rate –

(unsuitable materials in the recycling stream

total weight of material in the recycling stream)×100%

(unsuitable materials in the organics stream

total weight of material in the organics stream)×100%

Diversion Rate –

(weight of all material diverted

total weight of all waste, recyclables and organics generated)×100%

Generation Rate –

(kg generated

168 hours)× (

24 hours

day)×7 operating days/week ×52 operating weeks/year

3.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The following section outlines the results of the sorted (sampled) and unsorted (non-sampled) waste calculations made during the waste audit. The results of the waste audit were examined to track waste diversion progress and determine areas that need improvement.

3.1 Overall Waste Generation Profile

The estimated total annual waste generation for City Hall is approximately 52,963 kg. Table 3.1 summarizes the waste generation profile for City Hall. Materials are broken down by category along with the quantity of materials diverted, the amount of potentially divertible materials that are being disposed and the non-divertible materials. It must be noted that ‘diverted materials’ refers to materials that are divertible under the programs currently in place at City Hall. A detailed breakdown of the facility’s overall waste generation, including material sub-categories, can be found on the waste audit summary sheet, Appendix C. Figure 3.1 illustrates the above described composition of the facility’s overall waste generation.

Table 3.1 Overall Waste Generation Profile

Note: Divertible materials refers only to materials accepted in the facility’s current diversion programs *This material category includes Mixed Paper sub-categories that are accepted and were diverted in the Compost/Organics stream within the Kitchener City Hall Waste Diversion Program as these paper items are accepted in small amounts. This being Newspaper, Mixed Fine Paper, Other Recyclable Paper, Corrugated Cardboard, and Boxboard/Cores. **This material category includes Mixed Paper sub-categories that are accepted in the Compost/Organics stream within the Kitchener City Hall Waste Diversion Program. This being Tissue/Toweling and Other Compostable Paper.

Organics Generation (kg/yr)


Page | 19

The charts under each City Hall area, beginning on the following page, illustrate the breakdown of materials that were placed in the each of the garbage stream, recyclable fibres stream, recyclable containers stream, and organics stream (i.e. there is a bar representing each stream). Each bar then illustrates the proportions of recyclable fibres, recyclable containers, garbage and organics found in that waste stream. For example, the green portion of the garbage bar shows how much potentially divertible organics was in the garbage. Similarly, the green portion of the fibres or containers bar represents organics that was found in the recycling streams (contamination). A detailed breakdown of material sub-categories by waste zone can be found in Appendix A.

3.5 Current Year vs Base Year

A detailed comparison, by material category, between the 2019 waste audit results and the base year (2008) waste audit results can be found in the waste audit summary sheet (Appendix C). Table 3.10 provides a summary of the overall results between 2019 and 2008. This includes waste generated, diverted, disposed, and the percent change between the two studies.

Table 3.10 Current Year vs Base Year Summary

City Hall has reduced the amount of waste disposed annually by approximately 64.25% relative to the 2008 baseline data. City Hall’s diversion rate has increased by approximately 54.82% relative to the 2008 baseline data. The main factors contributing to the increased performance are an overall increase in the capture rate of the recyclable and organic materials. It should be noted that the number of employees at City Hall has changed over the past few years (517 employees in 2008 versus 530 employees in 2019). Table 3.11 summarizes the past waste generation rate, diversion rate and disposal rate for 2008 vs. 2019. These results are presented in kilograms per employee per year, as opposed to absolute annual generation rates.

Approximately 7,362 kg of potentially divertible materials are still being sent for disposal annually, including 4,453 kg/yr of material that could be diverted though the City Hall’s current organics program. Section 5.0 provides some recommendations for additional waste reduction opportunities.

5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1 Waste Reduction Work Plan

A waste reduction work plan is a step-by-step process for reducing the amount of waste material, based on the 3R’s hierarchy of ‘REDUCTION, REUSE and RECYCLING’. Such a process is suggested to reduce the amount of waste material sent to landfill. While this approach can be applied to all aspects of City Hall’s operations, it is important to emphasize that no single 3R’s option will achieve significant reduction in the amount of waste generated. Rather, it is a cumulative effect of all three initiatives that will result in overall waste reduction.

Reduction is the highest priority of the 3R’s hierarchy. When you eliminate or reduce a waste stream you conserve raw materials and reduce energy, labour and disposal costs, which translate into lower operating costs. Reuse is the second priority of waste reduction followed by recycling. Reuse refers to the use of a product in its original form for its original or a different purpose. Recycling is the process of forming new materials from used ones. There are obvious recycling options for materials such as metals, paper, cardboard, and plastics. Through a waste reduction work plan, City Hall’s operating costs could be reduced through reduced tonnage of waste sent for disposal, reduced number of pickups for disposal, and reduced use of materials. A comprehensive waste reduction program also has a positive impact on community perceptions.

The following sections describe a waste reduction work plan that is tailored to City Hall’s waste generation profile. The waste reduction work plan is designed to improve waste minimization by setting attainable goals for the most significant waste categories. Section 5.1.4 outlines several action statements that are recommended to assist in the diversion of waste from disposal. Appendix F summarizes the recommended actions to divert priority items from the waste stream. The material category, weight of waste, proposed action to divert, as well as reduction, reuse and recycling projections, start date and end date are listed in the table. As well, individuals from City Hall should be assigned the responsibility for implementing and monitoring each action item.

5.1.1 Environmental Purchasing Policies

An important component of any waste reduction work plan is the formulation of environmental purchasing policies that favour ‘environmentally sound’ products. Such products can be defined as having minimal or reduced negative effect on the environment and would include any product that contains post-consumer recycled content, or is in turn, recyclable. The purpose of an environmental purchasing policy is to support the purchase of recycled and environmentally preferred products to minimize waste disposal rates. Environmental purchasing policies can also play an important role in waste reduction by giving preference to reusable products. Information provided by City Hall prior to the audit did not indicate that a specific


Page | 64

environmental purchasing policy for City Hall exists. If developed, the policy would outline the purchase of products containing a certain percentage of recycled content. Consider the following purchasing policies that are environmentally responsible:

• Purchase materials with recycled content. • Consider the disposal options and recycling potential of all materials before purchasing. • Adopt waste prevention, recycling and use of recycled materials as a priority. • Ensure that all materials are packaged minimally – shipped, if possible in returnable

containers from your suppliers. • Contact suppliers to find out whether they offer an environmentally friendly line of

products. If not, encourage them to do so, or switch to a supplier who does. • Contractors and vendors should be encouraged to provide products and services which:

o are produced from recycled materials, o can be recycled or re-used, o reduce waste and/or conserve natural resources.

• The following resource can be used to find suppliers of products that are environmentally friendly and/or manufactured with recycled content:

o http://www.ecologo.org/en/

Purchasing policies should reflect measurable goals and objectives. The purchasing policy should also address the roles and responsibilities of suppliers. For example, it may be appropriate to require that supply contracts include provisions for suppliers to take back excess materials.

5.1.2 Education and Promotion

City Hall should ensure that waste reduction is incorporated into employee training programs. Employee commitment is vital to achieving reduction goals. Continue to facilitate such involvement, promote the success of your work plan and the financial, environmental and public relations benefits to staff on a regular basis. City Hall can adopt the following methods (if not already done so) and/or investigate these further to be used as a tool to create more employee awareness about your waste reduction work plan strategies. In general, employees need to be: Made aware of the program:

• Post or send a notice to employees, signed or endorsed by senior management explaining the waste reduction program and procedures, and highlighting the benefits of the program;

• Establish realistic and measurable waste reduction goals with target dates; • Educate new employees about environmental initiatives by including a written summary

of City Hall’s environmental policies and programs in an orientation package;

http://www.ecologo.org/en/


Page | 65

• Direct all employees (new and existing) to consider waste minimization as part of their job performance; and,

• Keep employees informed of new waste management procedures.

Informed on waste issues and opportunities for improvement:

• Set up an employee suggestion box for new 3Rs ideas, give credit to initiators of successful ideas; and,

• Highlight the positive environmental effects of employee waste reduction efforts.

Instructed on how they can participate:

• Prepare waste reduction documents that detail concrete waste reduction, reuse and recycling actions, guidelines and requirements;

• Conduct periodic information sessions about the waste reduction work plan to increase awareness and participation; and,

• Provide visual signs on the recycling containers of the materials accepted and materials to be avoided.

5.1.3 An Achievable Waste Reduction Work Plan

The waste reduction work plan is designed to improve waste minimization at the facility by setting attainable goals for the most significant waste categories. Section 5.1.4 outlines several action statements that are recommended to assist in the diversion of waste from disposal. As well, individuals from the facility should be assigned the responsibility for implementing and monitoring each action item.

5.1.4 Action Statements

The following list of recommended actions is provided to build on the current 3Rs program at City Hall. 1. Mixed Recyclable Materials (Fibres/Containers) Kitchener City Hall disposes of approximately 3,794 kg of mixed recyclable fibres/containers (Newspaper, Mixed Fine Paper, Other Recyclable Paper “Kraft, Moulded, Magazines, Telephone Books”, Corrugated Cardboard, Boxboard, Polycoats, Paper Cups, PET, HDPE, Mixed Plastics #1 through #7, Films, Aluminum, Steel, and Glass) annually (See figure 5.1 to 5.4). Though recyclable fibres and containers combined have achieved an overall capture rate of 88.69%, room for improvement exists. Kitchener City Hall should set a goal to capture 95% of all mixed recyclables to divert approximately 31,865 kg from disposal annually. The facility continues to do an excellent job with bin placement and bin colour coordination to help maintain employee and visitor participation with material diversion. Management should


Page | 66

conduct frequent checks to ensure bins are maintaining placement and signage consistency. It should be noted that the utilization of signage is also well managed. However, slight improvements to the signage could result in increased diversion of the less captured materials specifically. This includes making signage larger and easily visible with incorporated pictures of potentially accepted materials generated within City Hall where fit. The waste diversion programs have changed slightly and paper cups are now accepted in the containers stream. They were placed in the green bin organics program in the past and now show up as contamination in the green bin. Further, an inventory could be taken of bins without signage and of waste generating areas lacking a bin and an effort should be made to ensure that signage and bins are added throughout all waste generation areas.

2. Compostable Fibres


Page | 67

An estimated 1,158 kg of compostable fibres (Tissue/Towelling, and Other Compostable Papers) is placed within the garbage or recycling streams annually (though the material is to be placed in the organics stream where the program accepts it). The current capture rate for compostable fibres is 75.15%. A goal of 85% capture rate should be set for City Hall with regards to this group of materials. Due to hygienic reasons, some compostable fibres such as tissue/towelling cannot be recycled; a reduction, elimination or composting program is therefore necessary. Kitchener City Hall does in fact have an organics program in place that can accept and divert all organic materials including compostable fibres. Improvements to the current program may aid in the increased capture and diversion of compostable fibres. Increased employee and visitor awareness (specifically in those areas where increased compostable fibres disposal is happening) about what is accepted in City Hall’s organics program may lead to further success. Placement of more 4-sorter bins or organics bins with proper signage may also prove worthy.

Page | 68

4. Food Waste Disposed food waste, at 3,186 kg annually, is the large contributor to City Hall’s disposed waste. Examples of disposed food waste can be seen in figures 5.7 and 5.8. Approximately 3,823 kg/yr is diverted for a current capture rate of 54.55% for this material. Further room for improvement exists for food waste along with other organic items such as compostable plastic bags and yard waste. As a result, a 90% capture goal has been set for organic waste. The waste zones disposing the greatest amount of food waste are X – Exterior, C-1 – Eby Wing Welcome Centre and A-8 – Berlin Wing Entire Floor. It is recommended that special focus be kept on these zones for optimizing food waste capture. The implementations of organics bins or smaller desk side organics bins in the offices area may help increase food waste capture within the Offices. Increasing employee awareness during employee orientation about the organics program and the items that are included may also improve the overall capture and diversion performance. To improve the current organics program with regards to food waste specifically, bin signage and bin placement should be supervised and maintained on a consistent basis. If not already done so, the implementation of smaller desk side organics bins in the office areas may help increase food waste capture within the office areas. Additionally, organic waste receptacles should be added to the targeted waste zones and placed strategically beside other recycling and garbage bins where the 4-sorter bins do not exist. This bin location technique is called “twinning” and creates a common area where employees and visitors can sort and dispose of their waste in a convenient location. Further, all organics bins should be equipped with signage that clearly illustrates with pictures and labels of what is accepted in this program. Increasing employee awareness during employee orientation about the organics program and the items that are included may also improve the overall capture and diversion performance.

5. General Look for reduction opportunities whenever possible for all materials. Continue to incorporate reusable/returnable containers into closed-loop supplier relationships. Investigate vendors who offer products containing materials with recycled content. Utilizing materials with recycled content encourages and sustains the growth and development of recycling end-markets. To increase waste diversion, a training program should be expanded for all employees to provide details on the waste reduction work plan, focusing on the need for acceptance and participation. Communicating ideas and the need for employee participation at all levels of the facility is vital to the success of the waste reduction work plan. Employees should be made aware of the amount of material already diverted and that, with a little more effort, the diversion rate could be increased. The training program should highlight the results of this year’s waste audit, the waste reduction work plan summary, the waste audit summary, and the current waste management practices/programs in place. All waste materials, whether reused, recycled or disposed, should continue to be tracked which includes obtaining weigh bills from all haulers. Keeping track of weigh scale records monthly will be helpful in tracking the results of the waste reduction work plan efforts. This practice will also ensure that City Hall is not over billed or underpaid for a material where rebates exist and will assist in providing recycling weights for future waste audit studies.

5.1.5 Implementing the Waste Reduction Work Plan

Increased diversion rates are possible by appointing someone to be responsible for monitoring the waste diversion programs (with assistance from an environmental committee). If possible, the committee should be made up of members from management and employee representatives meeting on a monthly or quarterly basis to discuss progress. The ‘3Rs habit’ is easily developed, however, without continual promotion and enforcement, the habit can disappear. The environmental committee would monitor the waste collection stations regularly and respond to any problems with contaminants in the recycling stream or recyclable materials found in the waste stream promptly. All aspects of the waste reduction work plan should be monitored on a continual basis, particularly during the early stages. It is important that responsibilities be assigned for the implementation of the waste reduction actions. Waste reduction goals with timelines should be posted and communicated to all staff. Ultimately, the success of the waste reduction work plan is a direct result of commitment and level of participation from all staff at City Hall. Staff should be encouraged to provide suggestions for improving the program. The waste audit, including the waste audit summary sheet and the waste reduction work plan summary sheet together with this report should be displayed and made available for all employees to communicate to staff the types and amounts of waste generated on their floor and to encourage participation.
