What to do

Remember these basic tips:

• Examine your waste materials – carry out a waste minimisation survey: where does the waste arise?
• How can you minimise the waste at source by changing processes?
• Find different ways of moving up the Waste Hierarchy.
• Segregate your wastes effectively (especially Hazardous Wastes and Recyclables).
• Audit your waste carriers.
• Check that your waste records are complete and in accordance with regulations.
• Repeat these actions regularly.
