On-Site Sustainability Audit

I spend time in your shop observing how donations move through the space, from intake and sorting through to sales, reuse, recycling, or disposal.
The audit focuses on real-world operations, identifying bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas where unnecessary waste is being created.

Findings & Practical Recommendations

Following the audit, you’ll receive a clear summary of key findings and realistic recommendations tailored to your shop’s size, resources, and volunteer capacity. A practical road map for improving efficiency and sustainability.

What This Can Help With

• Reducing landfill and textile recycling reliance

• Improving donation flow and sorting efficiency

• Creating reuse pathways for hard-to-sell or excess stock

• Reducing volunteer decision fatigue and burnout

• Making better use of limited storage and back-of-house space

• Aligning sustainability goals with day-to-day realities

Who This Is For

This service is ideal for:

• Independent and community-run op shops

• Small charities and church-run stores

• Shops experiencing excess donations or waste challenges

• Organisations seeking practical sustainability solutions, not just advice
