ESG Reporting for Waste and Recycling

Commercial customers are asked for diversion and emissions data. Set up simple reporting so you can deliver numbers without a spreadsheet marathon.

What to capture

• Lifts and stream types per site (general, cardboard, commingled, organics).
• Contamination events and resolutions.
• Estimated weights per stream; apply standard density factors when scales are not available.
• Emissions factors for each stream (landfill vs recycling).

How to structure it

• Monthly site-level summary rolls to a group view.
• Flag outliers (high general waste, frequent contamination) for action.
• Keep a short glossary so stakeholders read numbers the same way.

Quick actions

• Add cardboard and organics streams where missing; fastest diversion gain.
• Standardise bin menus to make reporting consistent across sites.
• Store photos for exceptions (blocked access, contamination) to back up notes.

Sharing results

• Quarterly highlights: diversion rate, contamination reduction, cost changes.
• Note operational fixes (more signage, added organics) and their effect.
