Scope of Work
WasteCap can provide the following services, packaged together or selected a-la-carte:
DATABASE ACCESS
WasteCap will utilize its Resource Directory to provide you with options within your desired service radius. WasteCap will be able to provide technical assistance, market information and research support.
OPERATIONS PLAN GENERATION
WasteCap’s diversion experts will review your targets and objectives, inform you of potential blind spots, advise on successful strategies and align your approaches to give you the best chance of success. WasteCap will audit your waste streams and processes, highlight any overlooked opportunities, interview your waste haulers, and provide you with level-headed path forward based on extensive experience.
ON-SITE EDUCATION
So much of a successful diversion effort is in the preparation, planning and communication of requirements. WasteCap can provide quick on-site workshops to pass on the instructions from your waste management plan in a memorable and lasting way, saving you the work required to repeatedly instruct site teams or manually separate waste that’s been incorrectly directed.
ONGOING STATUS TRACKING
WasteCap will be by your side ensuring paperwork is consistent, tracking waste quantities, inspecting operations on site and providing critical feedback to maximize your waste diversion and make the process as effortless as possible. Monthly reports will keep you informed as to progress, deficiencies and remediation possibilities.
