Map responsibility from desk to collection point
Ask the property manager which services the lease or building arrangement includes. Identify who supplies internal bins, empties them, moves material to shared storage and reports a missed pickup.
Record the loading-dock hours, access contact and any elevator booking needed. A collection request should specify where the provider's work begins rather than assume it includes carrying from every floor.
- Name the tenant and building contacts
- Confirm which containers are shared
- Agree who handles contamination or overflow reports
Measure a representative working period
Record how full each waste and recycling container is before collection, alongside office attendance and events. Include quieter and busier days so the proposed schedule reflects actual occupancy.
EPA recommends assessing the quantity and composition of a building's waste before selecting improvements. Use your observations to discuss container capacity and collection frequency, then review the arrangement when attendance changes.
Separate records and equipment from routine waste
Agree with your records owner which papers can leave and which require a controlled destruction process. Ask for the collection method and evidence needed; ordinary paper recycling should not be treated as a confidential-document service.
For computers, phones and other equipment, involve IT before disposal and request an appropriate electronics route. EPA identifies certified electronics recyclers as an option to assess. Confirm accepted devices, data handling and the records your organization requires.
Quote office changes as separate work
List furniture, archive boxes and equipment from a move or refurbishment separately from routine collections. Include floors, carrying distances, dismantling needs and the deadline for handing the space back.
When no price is shown, send Wasteonix the address, waste observations, access arrangements and required service for manual review. Confirm collection availability and the written scope before changing the existing arrangement.
