    Abstract
    At Birunga Dairy Industry, due to less attention given to inventory management, there are usually cases of solid waste accumulation mainly the used boxes, packaging material, used bottles and others. Therefore a solid waste audit was conducted to identify what are the major solid wastes, how are they accumulated and which expense they cause to the dairy. A number of steps were followed in audit conduction to full capture the required information According to the research, the major solid wastes identified were the boxes and the packaging materials plus metal losses. The monetary value of the wasted solid wastes was in a range of 5-8 millions /year considering an even production. However, the rate of loss is dependent of the number of productions, machine stability and store management practices. A number of recommendations were brought to the tale in order to bring down the losses and the wastage through proper inventory management and recycle of boxes.
