Field work entailed sampling and manually sorting waste from six generator sectors <br />and conducting visual audits of bulky waste. Results are being utilized to identify and evaluate future <br />programs and facility modifications. <br />✓ Resort-wide Waste Composition Audit, Confidential Theme Park, FL <br />Robin managed the planning and execution of a two-week waste composition audit that entailed <br />three concurrent types of studies: (1) pulling and sorting representative samples from compactors <br />and dumpsters from target facilities including parks, hotels, commercial districts, and <br />administration; (2) sorting up to three bags of waste from specific operations within each facility; <br />and (3) visual audits of bulky/Class III waste loads. Two field crews were employed to complete the <br />study within the timeframe required by the client. Work also entailed data analysis, report <br />preparation, and presentation of results to managers.
