The purpose of this manual is to provide a standard methodology to undertake audits that cover the following:
- Household kerbside waste
- Commercial premises
- Landfills
- Assessment of the current collection systems
- Assessment of current infrastructure
- Assessment of the current legislation and policy framework
- Assessment of the current range of financial mechanisms available in the country
By adhering to the set methodology, performance comparisons can be made with other countries when undertaking the feasibility analysis for movement and processing of material at a network hub location. Also, all future data collected using this methodology can be used to determine the impact of any programs or projects implemented in the region which aim to improve participating countries’ waste management and recycling performance.
