About this file
This document is an exhibit for a federal contract opportunity related to conducting a solid waste audit. The purpose of the waste audit is to identify cost-effective methods to achieve at least a 50% waste diversion rate and support compliance with Sustainable Federal Buildings guidelines.
The Contractor shall examine a representative sample of the building's non-hazardous, non-construction solid waste stream during a 24-hour period to determine the composition by weight of material types such as paper, cardboard, plastic, aluminum, glass, organic/compostable waste, and non-recyclable trash. Based on the waste composition analysis, the Contractor shall provide recommendations to increase the building's waste diversion rate through efficient waste collection and disposal. Recommendations include a list of acceptable/unacceptable recycling materials, the potential diversion rate, additional materials that could be recycled or composted, and improvements to recycling bin quantities, placement, and signage.

EXHIBIT J5: Solid Waste Audits
*This exhibit is provided to the Contractor as a guide to conduct a waste audit. The purpose of the waste audit is to:
• Identify cost-effective methods of achieving a minimum 50 percent (by weight) waste diversion.
• Support compliance with Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings.
Extent of Work
Waste Composition The Contractor shall conduct a solid waste audit to identify the composition of the building’s non-hazardous, non-construction solid waste stream. As part of the solid waste stream audit, the Contractor shall examine a representative sample of solid waste (office trash) generated in the building (tenant space, lobby, kitchenettes/break rooms, printing rooms, bathrooms) during a 24-hour period of a typical work day. The Contractor shall use scales to weigh the sorted waste by the following material types: paper (all types of recyclable paper); cardboard; plastic (#1 PET bottles and any recyclable plastics); aluminum/cans; glass bottles; organic/compostable waste (food, food-related compostable packaging, paper towels); non-compostable, non-recyclable trash. The table below is provided as an example.
Table of Sample Waste Composition Analysis Type of Waste Weight (lbs) Percentage Paper 50 16.7% Cardboard 25 8.3% Plastic 20 6.7% Aluminum 10 3.3% Glass 20 6.7% Organic / Compostable 125 41.7% Trash (not recyclable/compostable) 50 16.7% Total 300 100%
Waste Diversion Recommendations Based on the waste composition analysis, the Contractor shall provide recommendations for increasing the building’s waste diversion rate through cost-effective. efficient waste collection and disposal. The recommendations shall include:
• A list of currently acceptable and unacceptable waste materials for recycling (to include recycling codes, such as PET 1, 2, etc.).
• The building’s potential waste diversion rate, based on the waste composition analysis.
• A list of waste material types that could be added to the building’s recycling (and composting) program, based on the local recycling market.
• A narrative description of the current recycling, composting, and trash bin quantities, placement, and signage, and recommendations for improving signage and communication to tenants and custodial employees.
