Waste Assessments

Green Calgary conducts Waste Assessments to measure the overall rate of waste diversion and the composition of waste and recycling streams at a company.

The Assessment is non-intrusive and analyzes a sampling of the waste generated and provides both quantitative and qualitative data to create a baseline report which can be used for ongoing performance measurement. The recommendations in the report offer companies the data necessary to implement waste reduction programs and strategically approach the issue of waste.

• Number of waste assessments: 106
• Recycling rate range (derived from waste assessments): 0-84%
• Recycling rate average (derived from waste assessments): 47.5%

"Overtime, First Calgary Financial’s relationship with Green Calgary has evolved, strengthened and includes many touch points. Not only do we value our relationship with them as a community partner, through the Water for Life program, but we often engage Green Calgary as a source of expertise on a variety of fronts.

Whether they are helping us do a waste assessment of our offices, presenting a lunch and learn on waste reduction, serving as a resource to our Environmental Advocacy Team, presenting exciting volunteer opportunities to our employees or being a phone call away to answer a quick question – Green Calgary fills a critical service for our company and our communities."
