Introduction to site waste management plans
A site waste management plan is a document that describes, in detail, the amount and type of waste from a construction project and how it will be reused, recycled or disposed of.
Types of site waste management plan
There are two main types of site waste management plan:
- A basic site waste management plan is suitable for all projects that cost between £300,000 and £500,000.
- An advanced site waste management plan is suitable for all projects that cost over £500,000.
The project costs include the value of plant, labour, materials, overheads and profit but exclude the value of land and VAT.
There may be a number of people involved in producing different aspects of the site waste management plan.
A site waste management plan could help you reduce costs and improve the environmental performance of your construction projects.
Site waste management plans are not a legal requirement in Northern Ireland, however they are a useful tool for reducing waste and costs from construction projects.
