Site-Level Rubbish Collection, Waste Patterns and the Implications for Company Practice

Abstract

This paper details the data, observations, and lessons learned from rubbish removal on a 29-hectare site. The project commenced in 2024 following the observation of litter in waterways and fields. Over the subsequent two years, I undertook removal efforts and systematically collected relevant data. Although these efforts focus on a small site, they provide valuable lessons that can help shape how sustained eco-friendly practices and change can be implemented in different companies.
