SAMPLE WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

This is a Sample Waste Management Plan. You may use this as a guide in developing your own.

Contractor: Very Best Construction Company Prepared May 1, 2003 / Revised July 3, 2003

Project: Renovation/Addition to Big Building, Queens, N.Y.

Designated Recycling Coordinator: Joe Doe

Waste Management Goals

· This project will recycle, reuse or salvage at least 75%, by weight, of the waste generated on site.

Waste Prevention Measures

· Five large rooms on the 1

Floor, near the service elevator, have been designated for storage of delivered

material and equipment until it is needed. These rooms are dry and lockable. Each Prime Contractor has been

assigned one of these rooms.

· Reusable metal forms will be used for the concrete structural elements.

· Each major vendor will be sent a letter requesting their cooperation in planning for minimal or take-back

packaging, and just-in-time delivery. The Recycling Coordinator will provide a draft letter to each Prime

Contractor for their use.

· A mock-up of the ceiling, soffit, ductwork and lighting shown on detail xyz will be built for coordination and

review before proceeding with this work.

Reuse and Salvage Items (Included on the chart below)

· The paneled doors from the existing offices will be reused per the documents.

· Excavation rock will be crushed and used as fill on site.

· Shelving removed from the library will be donated to Dick and Jane School

Communication Plan

· Waste prevention and recycling activities will be discussed at each job meeting.

· The recycling coordinator will give each contractor and subcontractor a copy of the Waste Management Plan,

provide instruction in appropriate separation and handling procedures and show them the recycling areas.

· Prime contractors will be expected to make sure that their workers comply with the Waste Management Plan.

· All recycling containers will be labeled in English and Spanish, with acceptable / unacceptable materials posted.

Each sign will have a representative picture of the materials to be recycled.

· If methods or container locations change during the course of the project, the Recycling Coordinator will notify

each contractor and subcontractor in writing.

Contamination Prevention Measures

· Small roll-off containers convenient to work areas will be used; Very Best Contracting will periodically

consolidate the contents in the appropriate dumpsters. Garbage containers for non-recyclable materials will be

located adjacent to recycling containers.
