Making construction waste work

Regulated by RICS

THE LAW ON WASTE

All wastes are subject to a

DUTY OF CARE on everyone involved in handling the waste

from the person who produces it

through to the person who finallydisposes of, or recovers it.

We can’t change the law so make legal compliance work

If we don’t have correct documentation:

How can we check we are not being overcharged?

How can we demonstrate compliance to clients & EA?

How can we plan to manage and minimise future waste?

We can only plan and measure from a known baseline

So accurate records are vital.

How much waste is measurable in pricing an delivering works in:

Segregation of waste on site is saving money on thisElevate East Lancashire site

MetalLandfill tax£2.50/te

StoneLandfill tax£2.50/te

WoodLandfill tax£40/te

Segregation is the best option if we have the space.

Sadly, we don’t live in an ideal world or work on perfect sites

Lack of space does not mean a lack of waste separation

If we don’t have correct documentation:

How can we check we are not being overcharged?

How can we demonstrate compliance to clients & EA?

How can we plan to manage and minimise future waste?

Check your recordsWaste separation is not an exact science

Work with your waste contractor or find one that will work with you

Now we know what waste we are producing, what do we do with the information?

You know what you are spending on waste

You can price waste into projects more accurately

You can demonstrate compliance and performance at tender

Demonstrate continual improvement

How does this link to Site Waste Management Plans?

Can set more accurate targets

Can price for waste more accurately

Careful planning allows opportunities for waste cost savings to be identified

CLIENT DESIGN TEAM CONTRACTORS AND SUB-CONTRACTORS

“I’m a subcontractor, I don’t write Site Waste Management Plans”

Scenario 1

“I’m a main contractor, I don’t want to write a SWMP””

As from April 2008, Site Waste Management Plans are a legal minimum requirement in England for construction projects costing more than £300,000 excluding VAT under the Site Waste Management Plan Regulations 2008.

Scenario 2

“My project’s less than £300,000-Would a SWMP work for me?”

….Yes

You know what you are spending on waste

You can price waste into projects more accurately

You can demonstrate compliance and performance at tender

Demonstrate continual improvement

Scenario 3

Opportunities for use of recycled materialsneed to be started at project conceptualisation stage………

…a later start may end up in waste minimisationbeing time versus money

“When should I start planning for waste?”

The earlier you start the earlier you can look at options &work with the EA on exemptions.

Communication is the key through the project foreffective waste management
