Documentation Best Practices
Tips for maintaining organized, audit-ready waste records
Review Documents Promptly
Review manifests and certificates when received to verify accuracy. Report any discrepancies immediately while the pickup is still fresh.
Organize by Year
Keep documents organized by calendar year for easy retrieval. Many inspectors request records by date range.
Backup Important Records
Download critical documents from the portal and save backup copies. Store in multiple locations for redundancy.
Assign Responsibility
Designate a staff member responsible for waste documentation. Ensures someone is accountable for tracking and filing records.
Regular Audits
Conduct internal quarterly reviews of waste records to ensure nothing is missing. Easier to catch problems early than during an inspection.
Train Your Team
Ensure staff understand the importance of signing manifests correctly and reporting issues. Proper documentation starts at pickup.
