From large scale to small scale, we enjoy digging into it all!<\/p>\n<p>Our team has conducted multi-season and singular season composition studies for regional districts with up to 84 sorting categories as well as individual audits for businesses and organizations. Once we conclude our work, you&#8217;ll be left with a comprehensive report that can be used to direct future policy and planning.<\/p>\n<h2>Our approach<\/h2>\n<p>We aim to collaborate to customize sorting categories, data subset samples (ex. residential self-haul, curbside, ICI, etc.), seasonal fluctuations and any other details to help you glean the information you&#8217;re looking to target. The methodology we follow is based on waste composition study recommendations from the Canadian Council of Ministers for the Environment (CCME). Sorting categories can be in-depth and detailed or simplified to meet your preferences and budget.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3590 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/letstalktrash.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/multisort-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letstalktrash.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/multisort-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/letstalktrash.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/multisort-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/letstalktrash.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/multisort-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letstalktrash.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/multisort-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letstalktrash.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/multisort-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3581 size-full alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/letstalktrash.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-from-2023-12-27-15-17-08.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"358\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letstalktrash.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-from-2023-12-27-15-17-08.png 358w, https:\/\/letstalktrash.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-from-2023-12-27-15-17-08-300x215.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Capturing the process to include visuals into the final report help to relay the process and actualize the numbers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>The report you&#8217;ll receive from our team will the following information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>multi-season studies annualized<\/li>\n<li>the material composition of each of the major waste streams and sorting categorizes by weight<\/li>\n<li>waste material and collection\/disposal observations<\/li>\n<li>recommendations for future diversion opportunities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Meet your goals<\/h3>\n<p>The information derived from these studies provides a baseline to assess the effectiveness of current programs and to potentially make recommendations to further increase diversion opportunities.
