Construction Site Waste Management Plan
Effective construction waste management can reduce unnecessary waste, improve resource efficiency and help construction projects meet environmental requirements.
Our consultants prepare Construction Site Waste Management Plans for development and construction projects across the UK.
The plan can establish how waste will be managed throughout the construction process, from material procurement and storage through to segregation, reuse, recycling and disposal.
Construction Waste Management Plan
A Construction Site Waste Management Plan sets out how waste generated by a project will be managed.
The requirements will depend on the size, type and nature of the development.
Our plans can identify anticipated waste streams, responsibilities, storage arrangements, segregation procedures and disposal or recovery routes.
Waste Reduction and Reuse
Reducing waste at source is generally preferable to relying solely on disposal or recycling.
The plan can consider opportunities to improve material ordering, storage and handling to minimise damage and unnecessary waste.
Where appropriate, materials can be considered for reuse either within the development or through suitable recovery routes.
Construction Waste Segregation
Separating waste streams can make recovery and recycling more effective.
The plan can establish appropriate segregation arrangements for materials such as timber, metal, plasterboard, packaging, concrete, bricks and other construction waste.
Clear site procedures can help contractors and site teams manage waste consistently throughout the project.
Waste Monitoring and Reporting
Monitoring waste quantities and disposal routes provides useful information about the environmental performance of a construction project.
We can establish practical procedures for recording waste movements and reviewing performance against project objectives.
The information can also support wider sustainability and environmental reporting requirements.
