Wheelie Waste – Waste Management Plan

The company manages waste through various procedures which ensures a reduction in the quantity of contaminants as well as the minimisation of waste generation.

Targets:

  • The trade waste drain shall only be used for the disposal of wash water, not for any other waste disposal, which may contain chemical mixes such as strippers and seaters
  • chemical usage shall be monitored to reduce overall consumption
  • the recycling of paper, glass and plastic containers shall be practised
  • energy management shall focus on power (electricity and gas) and water usage through a process of education and review and improvement of work practices.

Waste Assessment:

  • A waste assessment and review is conducted on each site to determine current practices and measures of compliance to the company’s objectives and targets.

Evaluation and Feasibility:

  • The resultant gap analysis provides indicators of performance as the focus of continual improvement.

Progress Review

  • Progress is monitored by at least an annual review of:
  • energy usage (comparative figures)
  • audit of procedures
  • measurement of consumption of chemicals usage
  • measurement of recyclable through audit of current practices.

Reporting

Quarterly measures of improvement are reported to depot and Company Managers. An annual report is generated by the Company and disseminated to interested parties.
