01 Site Assessment
We inspect your bin room, chute and equipment condition, bin fleet and fullness, and review twelve months of invoices and your collection contract.
Find out what you’re overpaying for and what it will cost to fix, with an audit that’s independent of your collection contract. We don’t hand you a report. We hand you a costed plan and a team that can carry it out.
Most waste audits come from one of two places. Your collector offers one for free, but it’s auditing its own contract, so it will never tell you that your lift frequency is too high, your rates are above market, or your bin fleet is oversized. Independent consultants will tell you all of that, but hand you a report and leave.
Elephants Foot Consulting does both. We audit your bins, your contract and your invoices, independent of who collects your waste. Then, backed by the design, supply, install and service capability of the Elephants Foot Group, we can help you act on what we find. 50+ years in waste and recycling, since 1976.
We review your bin fleet, equipment and collection contract with no financial interest in your current provider.
Every audit checks your site against current food organics mandate thresholds, so you know where you stand.
Every recommendation comes with a net saving and payback period, not just a finding.
