Become a WasteSmart Centre
How do I apply?
The centre approval process begins by submitting an Expression of Interest form to us at CIWM. It is important that you familiarise yourself with the below documents before submitting the form.
The following documents set out the CIWM WasteSmart centre approval criteria and requirements which must be met by all approved WasteSmart Centres:
- CIWM WasteSmart Centre Approval - Self-Assessment Checklist
- Code of Practice for the delivery of CIWM WasteSmart
Upon receipt of your your Expression of Interest form, we will contact you about your interest in delivering WasteSmart courses. You'll then be required to complete the WasteSmart Centre Application Form, and submit this to CIWM along with your supporting documentation.
Subject to the approval criteria being met - including payment of the centre approval fee and a signed Service Level Agreement - your Centre will be formally approved to deliver CIWM WasteSmart courses, and added to our list of approved centres.
