3.1.3.       Review and Amendment Phase
The review and amendment refuse management tasks relate to tasks undertaken on a routine (e.g.
quarterly, bi-annually or annually) or ad hoc basis. At the completion of the review and amendment phase,
the cycle restarts with the implementation of the amended refuse strategy.
Table 3.3: Review and Amendment Checklist
 Task                                                              Assigned   Remarks
 Coordination of specialised cleaning contractors as required.
 Typical specialised cleaning services may include cleaning
 internal areas of compaction equipment (if selected); this
 reduces risk of blockage, odour and risk of fire.
 Maintenance and servicing of refuse management equipment
 as per schedule.
 Frequency depends on equipment, building operation and
 manufacturer specification. Routine maintenance reduces
 downtime and detrimental impact of unscheduled equipment
 breakdown.
 Coordination of specialised equipment contractors as required.
 May extend to ad hoc services requiring specialist equipment
 such as bulky / hard waste removal.
 Internal safety review.
 Routine safety reviews are required to identify changes to the
 site, work practices or legislation that may impact existing
 policies and procedures.
 Reviews should include visual inspection of equipment and
 user PPE.
 Any policy or procedure updates arising from a safety review
 must be immediately communicated.
 Audit operational refuse volumes and composition.
 As similarly undertaken at the beginning of occupancy a review
 by a specialist waste consultant is recommended to identify
 refuse volumes and stream composition. This information is
 then used to establish potential recoverable material
 percentage and identify opportunities for improvement in
 refuse strategy.
 Alternatively, an internal audit may be undertaken by visual
 inspection during on-site waste management handling
 activities. For example, cleaners may observe contents of waste
 receptacles when decanting caddies in larger bins and
 recording results, this method is less accurate than a
 comprehensive audit, however, give immediate indicative
 results and may be undertaken on an ongoing basis.
 Review bin quantities and refuse management equipment.
 Reviewing bin quantities and equipment is required ensure
 operational sustainability of refuse volumes and equipment
 remains fit for purpose. Consideration should be given where
 alternate equipment may provide improved outcomes.
 This review may form part of the external audit process (above)
 as recommendations made.
