- A waste management plan is a written record of what must be done to achieve the goals
you have set for managing construction waste.
The waste management plan should cover these things:
- Specify who is responsible for managing waste on site.
- Establish goals and objectives.
- Estimate the waste types and amounts involved.
- Set targets for reducing the amount of each waste sent to landfill.
- Describe recycling/reuse methods for each material.
- Identify the waste destinations and transport modes, including what materials are being segregated on site for reuse or recycling.
- Track progress.
- Describe special measures for material use and handling.
- Describe communication and training to support and encourage participation from everyone on site.
- If applicable, describe the sequencing and methods for deconstruction projects.
- Project review.
The waste management plan for each project will usually be the responsibility of the main contractor, and from this plan, specifications can be developed for bid/contractor packages outlining procedures for salvage, reuse and recycling. It can also be used to provide clients with details of actual reuse/recycling and disposal of waste.
In most cases, subcontractors would operate to the main contractor's plan. Where subcontractors have sole responsibility for their waste, they should complete their own waste management plan.
A new plan needs to be prepared for each job/site.
- What Is the Purpose of the Waste Management Plan?
Nearly all incidents generate waste, debris and materials. While the amount of waste varies between incidents, the generated waste is often greater than the amount of waste many communities handle each year. Additionally, homeland security incidents may generate waste streams, such as chemical, biological and radiological-contaminated wastes, which typically are not handled by communities or waste management facilities. In addition to helping the whole community prepare for these potential wastes, pre-incident planning encompasses source reduction and hazard mitigation activities aimed at reducing the total amount of waste generated by an incident, especially for a large-scale natural disaster. While this pre-incident planning should be documented in a Waste Management Plan (WMP), the community’s preparation provides the most benefits, such as:
- Saves valuable time and resources during an incident
- Allows more efficient and effective waste management decision-making during an incident
- Encourages stakeholders (e.g., state, local, tribal and territorial governments; owners of private storage, treatment and disposal facilities; residents) to work together before an incident occurs
- Boosts the community’s resiliency, resulting in a quicker and less costly recovery to its pre-incident state
- Enhances communities’ adaptation to the waste-related impacts of climate change
- Minimally detracts from, or otherwise impacts, the broader response and recovery efforts due to the efficient implementation of waste management activities
