For help requests, email Waste.Audit@phila.gov. For City agencies in privately-leased space: You should have your facility’s monthly trash and recycling service invoices on hand, if available. Facilities serviced by the Streets Department do not receive monthly trash and recycling invoices and will need to use our Building Waste Generation Calculator Tool to complete the optional Zero Waste section of the reporting form. Use the Building Waste Generation Calculator Tool (Microsoft Excel file) to estimate the weight of material your facility generates monthly using information about your current levels of collection service. Follow the instructions in the calculator tool to fill out the form. In order to use the calculator tool, you will need the following information: • Which materials your facility recycles or donates • The volume of the collection container (dumpster, recycling bin, etc.) used for each material (in cubic yards or gallons) • The number of times each material is picked up from your facility per month • The number of containers used per pickup
