Waste Audits

Get an inside look at your waste

Practical waste audits to identify opportunities, boost recycling and reduce waste to landfill across Sydney and the Illawarra.

Green Yakka delivers hands-on waste audits that help organisations understand what’s really going into their bins — and what can be done to improve it. We work on site to sort, analyse and assess waste streams, providing clear insights you can act on.

Our waste audits support planning, compliance and continuous improvement. Whether you’re looking to reduce landfill, improve recycling performance or meet sustainability and reporting requirements, we tailor our approach to suit your site, operations and goals. 

We take care of the audit process end to end — from on-site sorting through to reporting — so you get clear, practical insights without the hassle.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

For over a decade, we’ve proudly worked with values-driven councils and businesses across NSW – delivering real impact, on the ground, where it counts.

“Green Yakka’s team is reliable, professional, and flexible to work with. They work diligently, manage HSE risks and clean the area after every audit. Their ability to provide services outside of operational hours has been valuable in managing the limited space in loading docks.”

Kim Host, Resource Recovery Manager, Mirvac
