How it works
/01
A short, branching question set about your waste setup — headcount, collection arrangements, how you separate recyclables. Ten minutes, no jargon.
/02
Each obligation is scored Red, Amber, or Green on its own — with the citation and the reason behind the colour, not a blended pass/fail.
/03
See exactly what's missing and why it matters before your deadline, not after an inspector tells you.
