Site Waste Minimisation & Management Planning

​Construction and Demolition (C&D) Waste management commences with the planning and design of a project, which contributes to the amount of waste generated on a development project through decisions made at planning and design meetings, equally with construction site decisions.

Planning for procurement and transportation of construction products may start well for the initial project materials commencement stage, but incorrect material estimation, time management for delivery, and not allowing enough time at the planning stage creates problems right along the process.

​At the highly profit driven construction stage, time, cost and quality are at times higher on the agenda than environmental concerns, where waste reduction efforts can be challenged by inadequate waste management facilities, lack of site storage space, time constraints and poor waste reduction knowledge at site.

Issues causing concern for reducing landfill waste and preventing illegal dumping are ongoing, due to inappropriately designed landfill levy schemes, poor financial returns in waste methods and inconsistent regulatory measures.
