Waste Assessment

A Waste Assessment includes the On-site Waste Review and takes it to the next level to provide a more detailed analysis of waste streams. The client collects and holds waste and recycling materials for a period of time based on their current collection schedule. WasteCap staff sorts and measures all materials destined for the landfill and the recycling center, recording weight and estimating volume. A detailed written report contains photographic documentation, customized recommendations and an economic analysis of current versus future program options. Sample Waste Audit Report

Waste Assessments are priced by container size in cubic yards times the number of pulls. A week’s worth of material is recommended. For example, a 4 cubic yard trash container picked up twice per week at the non-member rate is $250 x 4 cubic yards x 2 pulls, or $2,000. Recycling containers are charged at $150 per cubic yard. For facilities with compactors or roll-off containers larger than 10 cubic yards, a representative sample will be measured. Mileage will be charged for businesses outside of Lincoln.
