The Business Waste Performance and Cost Calculator Tool has been designed to help you compare different options for the collection of your waste including relative costs, recycling rate and environmental performance.

To use the tool you will need to know what your current arrangements are for waste collection:

• How many bins/containers you have and their size
• The type of waste that goes in them
• How often they are collected
• Recent invoice(s) for your waste services

The tool works by estimating the types and quantities of waste produced by your business from the waste streams and size of containers you have collected.

The tool then suggests an alternative, more environmentally friendly option and allows you to create a custom plan to see if making small changes to your current arrangements could help save you money and recycle more
