Frequently Asked Questions
A waste management consultant analyzes how an organization generates, handles, and disposes of waste, then recommends changes to cut cost, improve diversion, and meet compliance and ESG goals. RTS pairs that advisory work with performance data.
Consulting is the strategy layer — audits, analysis, and program design. Collection is the execution layer. You can engage RTS for consulting alone, or have RTS implement the recommendations through its waste and recycling services.
An RTS waste audit examines your waste streams across one or more sites to quantify what you generate, what is being landfilled versus diverted, and where cost and diversion opportunities exist — the foundation for a tailored program.
It is best suited to larger or multi-site organizations with complex waste streams, regulatory exposure, or ESG commitments — portfolios where small operational changes compound into meaningful cost and diversion gains.
Typical outcomes include lower waste spend, higher diversion rates, improved regulatory compliance, and reporting that supports ESG disclosure. Specific results depend on baseline performance and program scope.
