Waste Audit
What is the Waste Audit?
The waste audit is an initiative of the Green Team which is run annually. The Green Team sort the rubbish into bins and they count how many bins they have to find out how many litres of each category they have. They then compare the results to past years of rubbish to calculate how much waste we have saved from going into landfill.
