Multi-Site Waste Management Playbook

If you run multiple sites, inconsistent bins and pickups drive up costs. Standardise the basics and review monthly to stay in control.

Standardise the kit

• One menu of bin types/sizes for all sites (rear-lift set and front-lift set).
• Clear rules: when to add pickups (over 80% full) and when to drop (under 60% full).
• Contamination policy in plain English; shared with every site manager.

Central reporting

• One monthly dashboard: lifts, contamination events, overflows, and costs per site.
• Photos for exceptions (blocked access, contamination) so you can coach fast.
• Quarterly review to re-right-size any outliers.

Contracts and SLAs

• Bundle sites by region to reduce truck runs.
• Lock in contamination definitions and fees; include response time for missed lifts.
• Add a playbook for new site onboarding: bin bay photos, access notes, contact names.

Quick savings

• Separate cardboard everywhere; it's the fastest 10-25% cost reduction.
• Align collection days across nearby sites to cut logistics charges.
• Audit two sites per month; replicate improvements network-wide.
