Waste and resource recovery businesses carry some of the highest operational risk of any industry. Heavy vehicles and mobile plant, fire, hazardous materials and environmental obligations all sit within a single operation, under close scrutiny from regulators, councils and communities. For operators in this sector, compliance isn’t a box-ticking exercise. It’s your licence to operate.
Operators sit at the centre of a web of obligations: environmental conditions, safety duties to workers and contractors, council and customer contract requirements, and community expectations. Getting it wrong has consequences well beyond a failed audit, including regulatory action, lost contracts, reputational damage, and harm to the people doing the work.
Compliance across the entire waste chain.
Waste management compliance doesn’t begin and end at the weighbridge. Your obligations extend from collection and transport, through transfer, sorting, processing and disposal, to the downstream processors who take your material. At every stage, the question is the same: can you demonstrate that you’ve done what was required, that the right controls were in place, and that when issues arose, they were identified and addressed?
AuditCo’s waste management services are designed to answer that question with confidence. Together, our environmental, safety and supply chain audits help you demonstrate responsible, compliant operations to regulators, councils and customers.
Every operation is different. A collection fleet, a transfer station and a landfill face very different risk profiles, even when the underlying standards are the same. We tailor every engagement to your site type, scale and risk profile, working around live operations rather than disrupting them.
Our ISO 14001 audits test how you control and evidence environmental risks such as odour, dust, leachate, stormwater and contamination. We identify the gaps between your documented system and what's happening on site, so you can demonstrate responsible environmental performance to regulators, councils and customers.
Our ISO 45001 audits assess your safety management system against the realities of waste operations: vehicle and plant movements, manual handling, fire risk and hazardous materials.
Our ISO 9001 auditors work with waste and resource recovery businesses to assess and strengthen quality management systems that are practical to operate and genuinely improve how work is delivered.
Practical reviews of your site as it operates, identifying hazards and verifying compliance with safety requirements. We deliver clear, prioritised findings so your team can act before an incident occurs, not after.
Waste sites rely on a steady flow of contractors, hauliers and service providers. Our contractor safety audits help you verify that the people working on your site meet your safety requirements and the standards you're accountable for.
Heavy vehicles are at the core of waste operations, and among the highest-risk activities. We support operators with heavy vehicle accreditation, helping you demonstrate that your fleet and driver management systems meet the required standard.
Your compliance depends on the transporters, subcontractors and processors your waste goes to. Our 2nd party audits give you independent visibility of that chain, so you know where your material ends up and that it's being handled properly.
Independent internal audit and assurance for operators who want objective confidence that their systems and sites are performing as intended, with reporting that drives genuine improvement.
AuditCo provides independent audit, inspection and safety services for waste collectors, transfer stations, recycling and resource recovery facilities, landfill operators, hazardous and industrial waste handlers, and the councils and contractors that work with them.
Our qualified auditors bring years of combined experience to operators at every point in the chain. We audit the operation as it runs, from the weighbridge to the tip face, not just the paperwork. We work alongside your teams to make compliance a practical, achievable part of how you operate, and we’re a qualified LGP approved contractor, already meeting the procurement standards councils require.
Let AuditCo help keep your waste operations compliant, your people safe, and your licence to operate secure.
