Urban Impact will also provide training and signage for you and your staff to assist in waste solutions goals.

Our Process

At Urban Impact, we follow a simple principle: you can manage what you measure.

Our process starts with waste audit. This initial on-site visit is a great way for businesses and organizations to learn about waste habits and gives a clear snapshot of the amount of waste generated.

Creating a solution that is right for you follows a few simple steps:

  • Conduct a site visit. Tour the spaces where garbage is generated and handled
  • Inventory waste and recycling bins
  • Assess what is in the garbage stream
  • Provide a proposal with our recommendations what can be improved
  • Provide a sample and audit report
  • Assist in implementing changes
  • Help you measure your progress over time
Benefits of Waste Audit
