WASTE ASSESMENT
- A Waste Review can provide your organization with recommendations to improve waste reduction and recycling, container size, placement, and signage, right-sizing for cost-effectiveness, and custodial processes.
- A Waste Audit will give your company an accurate snapshot of what is in your trash and recycling containers and tell you where improvements can be made.

TRUE certification is the certification of a facility that has met TRUE zero waste standards set by Green Business Certification, Inc. (GBCI).
