DIY Audit Kit

The Do-It-Yourself Audit Kit is designed to be used by sites with less than 100 students, or for use by individual classes.

You can print the DIY Audit Resources to create your own kit. The resources explain the audit procedures including the tasks that occur before, during and after the day of the audit.
​
Some regional Education Officers or Council Waste Officers may also have a kit that can be borrowed.

Check out this Behind the News clip to find out more about Australia's rubbish problem and the auditing process.
