hi;
İ try to help you. İ am working in a hotel so our waste mng. has a lot of details. May be you can take some of them:
we use different colour polyster bag & container.
İt's like;
Blue:plastic
white: glass
Grey: metals
Yellow: paper
Green: organic This system needs lots of container every place so we changed it as;
Black: non-recyclable
Yellow: recycled so we need just 2 colour polyster bag& container (just one colur container is enough because u use different colour in your bags)
May be you need a container for office paper
Oil: for waste oil need a oil holder on your water system
For Chimney you need a filter for protect to air
For chemicals you need MSDS for prove those are enviro-friend
İn catering may be not but i use garden, medical, textile, battery management etc.
İ hope it will be helpful
Regards

To start with, you really need to walk the site and identify all the individual waste streams / types. In my case these fall into the following catagories:
Vegetable
Cardboard
Paper (seperate from cardboard due to the nature and area of waste production i.e. cardboard on production floor and paper in office environments)
Plastics
Hazardous waste (paints, oils, chemicals, mostly ex. engineering / maintenance)
General waste from general waste bins around site
Wood
Metal
WEEE (Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment)
Having identified all waste groups, decide in the most effective collection / seperation method and what type of segregation you are going to employ (receptical type / colour / area)
Then plan for the storage of these materials in a manner which will pose no risk to your processess, people or the environment.
You will then need to investigate appropriate collection and disposal as per national legislation. Ensure any waste carriers are correctly licensed for the carriage and disposal of the waste type as you will be liable if they are not!
You will then need to train out the system to your staff an monitor ongoing that not only does your system work in practice, but that new waste streams don't develope without your knowledge. (this can happen if you change suppliers / processes and new materials are now introduced into the system)
Hope this helps, sorry it's a bit long winded.
