Why managed service?

Waste management is becoming more and more complex, so it’s essential to leave it to the specialists. Get it wrong and you could damage your company reputation, as well as your finances. The penalties for non-compliance or incorrect disposal are high and the onus is on you to demonstrate that you have the correct processes in place. From July 2005, by law you have to provide comprehensive information on your waste disposal by maintaining full documentation.

Waste management can be time-consuming and costly for companies who try to do it themselves. You would need to dedicate a team of people to:

• keep up to date with rapidly-changing legislation
• classify your waste streams
• arrange collections
• obtain permissions
• monitor disposal and recycling
• obtain and manage documentation.

This diverts you from your core business. Many companies have already recognised the financial and business benefits of outsourcing activities such as IT, facilities management, security and maintenance. By outsourcing to Windsor Waste Management, you can reduce costs, improve efficiency, protect your business and free your staff to concentrate on strategic business tasks.

Managed service for your business

To find out how a managed waste service could benefit your business, talk to your Windsor Waste Management representative. Managed service can help you overcome a number of costly, time-consuming problems if :

• you have a diverse waste stream
• you need to work with a number of specialist waste suppliers
• you do not have the internal resources to manage waste effectively
• your business faces stringent waste regulatory issues
• you have a number of different sites and you want to integrate your waste operations.

Working in partnership

The aim of our managed service is to take the burden and hassle of waste management away. We do this by working in partnership with you, analysing your needs and developing cost-effective solutions based on a fully-managed service and environmentally-friendly disposal. We add value by transferring knowledge through training so that you can manage your own internal responsibilities effectively.

There are four key stages:

• assessment
• strategy development
• implementation
• reports and tracking.

Assessment

A trained, fully-accredited assessor works with you to analyse your waste streams, evaluate staff knowledge and review your internal policies, controls and procedures. The assessment is based on our experience of working with similar organisations and uses our own benchmarks developed in line with industry best practice. This comprehensive review gives you a clear, objective picture of your strengths and weaknesses. It identifies potential problems and helps you to focus on critical areas for improvement.

Strategy development

The assessment forms the basis for a strategy document that details our proposals for the policy and implementation of a controlled, cost-effective waste management programme. Your individual programme will be developed by specialists and will give you a complete managed solution that meets current and future needs. The strategy document includes:

• proposals for implementation
• forecast of costs
• training recommendations for ongoing compliance and environmental protection
• client and Windsor Waste Management responsibilities.

Implementation

With our fully-managed service, you can be confident that your waste will be transported, treated, recycled or disposed of promptly and efficiently within current waste management legislation. Being an independent company, we are independent, we can select the right contractors and specialists to suit your waste streams and service needs. We use our expertise in outsourcing, project management and supply chain management to optimise all aspects of the contractors’ operations so that you have a single point of contact and accountability.

We set service levels to meet your individual requirements and monitor performance in line with quality standards. We also audit all third-party disposal sites to ensure their compliance. One of our project managers will visit your premises regularly to ensure waste is being handled correctly and to advise you if any adjustments to strategy are necessary. For example, we may need to make adjustments to ensure that you remain compliant with changing legislation.

Reports and tracking

The volume and complexity of paperwork related to waste disposal is becoming more and more time consuming. It’s essential to maintain a full audit trail to meet regulations and prove that your organisation is compliant. Windsor Waste Management can take away the hassle of complex paperwork. We supply you with the correct labels and documentation for collection and disposal, and we will maintain a full set of audit trail reports for any governing body, including, dates, times and volumes. If necessary, we can retain your documentation for you, giving you immediate access via our online administration service. You can be confident that your documentation meets all regulatory requirements, and you will also have comprehensive management information that provides a sound basis for future planning.
