1. 1. Indicate all reduction, reuse, and donation programs implemented at the building
   2. (If applicable) Set up separate collection of waste streams that represent more than 15% of the total waste stream (as measured in the waste audit sample), where separate collection was not previously set up
   3. Collect Documentation to demonstrate these initiatives are in place, such as
      • • Donation program partnerships
        • Confirmed pick-ups from charities or organizations
        • Launch of reduction/avoidance campaigns (e.g., paperless)
        • Sourcing of items that promote bulk use (e.g., soap dispensers)

Reduction can be hard to measure. Evaluate if the waste would have been produced at the building had the initiative not been put in place.

Check whether the service schedule is appropriate given the proportion of the stream. For example: a building with food service establishments would need an organics program that is picked up more than every other week.

Ensure that streams are set up in locations that will maximize the success of the program.
