When you hear “waste audit,” you might picture someone sifting through bins, sorting and weighing waste in a shed. While that image captures part of the process, waste audits are much more than that—they provide essential data that drives informed decision-making.

At Talis, our waste consultants specialise in delivering these services, partnering with local and state governments to conduct comprehensive waste audits.

For example, the City of Bayswater has partnered with Talis to undertake a thorough review of its kerbside waste management services. This initiative focuses on analysing historical data, including bin tagging results, FOGO (Food Organics and Garden Organics) and general waste audit reports, to provide a clearer picture on how residents are utilising their waste bins. Complementing this, Talis has conducted a bin fullness audit and a detailed compositional analysis of the City’s general waste and recycling bins.

By providing critical insights into household waste generation, contamination levels, and recovery rates, this project will enable the City to optimise bin capacity, reduce waste sent to landfill, and improve recycling outcomes.

Across the board, Talis offers various types of waste audits, including:
– Full bin compositional audits (separating refuse, recyclables, and FOGO into 30+ categories)
– Kerbside bin assessments, also known as bin tagging
– Evaluating bin presentation rates
– Assessing bin fullness percentages

The benefits of these audits are significant. They help local and state governments achieve their sustainability goals, guide future waste education programs, and support their commitments in ensuring an efficient and environmentally responsible waste management system for the community.
