Certified Waste Audits for Ontario Businesses
Mandatory Compliance. Measurable Impact. Cost-Saving Solutions.
Ontario’s regulatory and sustainability landscape demands more from commercial buildings, property managers, and businesses. Waste Logic’s Certified Waste Audit Program is designed specifically for Toronto to help you stay compliant, reduce costs, and lead with sustainability.
Whether you’re managing a high-rise, hospital, shopping mall, or office tower, our certified audits are built to meet the City’s waste separation rules and Ontario’s 3Rs regulations and give you the insights you need to act on them. Let us help you stay compliant while optimizing your waste strategy.
Meet Ontario’s Regulatory Requirements
If your property or business falls under certain categories in Ontario, waste audits are often required by law. But even where they aren’t strictly mandatory, conducting one is highly beneficial. They provide critical data to help you manage waste effectively, reduce costs, and demonstrate compliance.
Here are the key regulations we help you navigate for the waste your business generates:
- City of Toronto Waste Diversion & Separation Bylaws:
Toronto requires the separation of organics, recyclables, and garbage for all commercial and multi-residential properties. Improper disposal or contamination can lead to fines and penalties. - Ontario Regulation 102/94 (3Rs Regulations):
Certain businesses and institutions are legally required to conduct waste audits and implement a documented waste reduction work plan. The regulation applies to organizations that meet specific size or sector thresholds (such as large office buildings, retail complexes, hospitality, healthcare, education, manufacturing, and major construction projects). - Ontario Regulation 103/94:
A regulation under Ontario’s Environmental Protection Act that requires certain businesses and institutions to separate recyclable and organic materials from regular waste. A waste audit helps determine whether your diversion program is functioning effectively and can identify contamination issues or potential compliance gaps. - Ontario Regulation 104/94:
A regulation under Ontario’s Environmental Protection Act that requires certain businesses, primarily manufacturers and large distributors, to audit their packaging materials and implement a documented packaging reduction work plan. A waste audit measures packaging waste and provides the data needed to develop and maintain a compliant reduction strategy. - Regulation 347 (General Waste Management):
A regulation under Ontario’s Environmental Protection Act that establishes how waste must be classified, handled, stored, transported, and disposed of. A waste audit verifies that your waste is properly classified and managed in accordance with provincial standards. - Environmental Protection Act (EPA):
Ontario’s primary environmental law, giving the provincial government authority to regulate waste management, pollution control, and environmental protection across the province. A waste audit demonstrates due diligence and helps protect your business during inspections.
Our certified audits fulfill these requirements, offering documentation and action plans that support long-term compliance with minimal internal effort. We’ll help you identify whether your building qualifies, conduct a detailed waste composition study (Waste Audit), and provide a report that meets all regulatory requirements.

Demonstrate Sustainability Leadership
Ontario’s business landscape is one of Canada’s most sustainability-conscious markets. Our waste audits help you build and maintain a green reputation, grounded in measurable results, and demonstrate your business’s leadership in corporate social responsibility.
We help you move beyond greenwashing by offering practical improvements that elevate your environmental credibility. Waste Logic’s waste audits support your ESG reporting with verified waste data and help you earn points toward BOMA BEST, LEED, GRESB, and other green building certifications. You’ll be able to position your brand as a differentiator in a market that values real environmental action.
Build a Foundation for Zero Waste
or Circular Economy Goals
Ontario is at the forefront of national conversations around the circular economy and extended producer responsibility (EPR). Waste Logic’s certified audits help your organization align with these goals by:
- Mapping your waste streams to identify materials that can be diverted, reused, donated, or eliminated.
- Offering data-driven recommendations to reduce landfill dependency.
- Supporting long-term planning for zero-waste targets or carbon reduction programs.
Quantifiable Waste Data for Smarter Decisions
Unlike basic site inspections, our waste audits provide professional, quantifiable analysis of what’s in your bins so you can take action backed by facts. We deliver a breakdown of all your waste streams and their monthly volumes. Then offer you support for better sustainability reporting and compliance tracking, and a customized plan to improve diversion and reduce hauling costs.
With this data in hand, Ontario businesses can optimize service contracts, reduce costs, and meet performance targets.
Save Money by Reducing Waste & Service Costs
Most Ontario businesses are overpaying for waste services due to excess waste, oversized bins, or unnecessary pickups. Our audits help you:
- Right-size bins and reduce service frequency.
- Eliminate wasteful practices that result in contaminated or overfilled bins.
- Avoid rising fees for contamination or landfill overages.
The result: Lower monthly hauler bills, fewer surprises, and more control over your waste budget.
