1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction

This Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) applies to all activities throughout the project.

All personnel will be made aware of the relevant requirements in this Plan at the initial site induction
and in subsequent tool box talks. The Plan will be available in the site office for inspection at any
time.

Principal Contractor will ensure that:-

All waste from the site is dealt with in accordance with the waste Duty of Care in s.34 of the
Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Environmental Protection (Duty of Care)
Regulations 1991, that materials will be handled efficiently to minimise wastage and that all
waste arising from site will be managed appropriately.
Any client who intends to carry out a project on any one construction site with an estimated
cost greater than 300,000 excluding VAT must prepare a site waste management plan
conforming to these Regulations before construction work begins.
A Waste Champion is appointed to drive the waste minimisation culture on this Project. This
operative has yet TBC
Each waste stream is identified and appropriate storage and disposal measures provided in
line with Duty of Care;
Wherever practical, waste will be re-used or recycled;
Only when all other routes are exhausted will waste be sent to landfill, accompanied by a Pre-
Treatment Confirmation Form
Targets for re-use and recycling will be recorded at the start of the project on the Waste
Targets & Monitoring Form and monthly progress towards this monitored;
Provide details of the Hazardous Waste Producer Code is - TBA
A defined waste management area will be set up on site with individual skips provided for
timber, concrete, metal, general and COSHH waste.
Waste Transfer Notes are correctly completed for each consignment of inert or non-
hazardous waste;
When any waste is removed the principal contractor must record on the plan
(a) the identity of the person removing the waste;
(b) the waste carrier registration number of the carrier;
(c) a copy of, or reference to, the written description of the waste required by section 34 of the
Environmental Protection Act 1990; and
(d) the site that the waste is being taken to and whether the operator of that site holds a
permit under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or is
registered under those Regulations as a waste operation exempt from the need for such a
permit.
Hazardous Waste Consignment Notes are correctly completed for each consignment of
hazardous waste;
Waste contractors carriers licences and permits are verified with the Environment Agency
(copies to be placed in the Project File)
The principal contractor will ensure that the site waste management plan is kept:
A) At the site office, or
B) If there is no site office, at the site.
The procedures detailed in this Site Waste Management Plan are brought to the notice of all
employees and subcontractors employees.

 Typical
SWMP Alfreton Grange Arts College

This document is guided by and adheres to the regulations of the Site Waste Management
Plans Regulations 2008.

A summary of all the Duty of Care information required by the Environmental Management System
is contained in the Waste Summary Table (5.5). This will be completed for each waste material
leaving or entering the site. All supporting documentation will be kept in the Project File.

Periodic Reviewing of the SWMP

As often as necessary to ensure that the plan accurately reflects the progress of the project, and in
any event not less than every six months, the principal contractor must
(a) review the plan;
(b) record the types and quantities of waste produced;
(c) record the types and quantities of waste that have been
(i) re-used (and whether this was on or off site);
(ii) recycled (and whether this was on or off site);
(iii) sent for another form of recovery (and whether this was on or off site);
(iv) sent to landfill; or
(v) otherwise disposed of; and
(d) update the plan to reflect the progress of the project.

1.2 Additional Duties

Additional duties on the principal contractor

(1) The principal contractor must, so far as is reasonably practicable, ensure co-ordination of
the work and co-operation among contractors at work during the construction phase. This
will be fulfilled by:

Regular progress meeting with specialist contractors

Regular Tool box talks and training modules delivered

Joint review of method statements

Briefings held everyday with specialist contractor supervisors mapping out the
operation due today and near future.

(2) The principal contractor must ensure so far as is reasonably practicable that every worker
carrying out the construction work is provided with
(a) Suitable site induction; and

(b) Any further information and training needed for the particular work to be carried out
within the terms of the site waste management plan.
(3) The principal contractor must make and maintain arrangements that will enable the
principal contractor and the workers engaged in the construction work to co-operate
effectively in promoting and developing measures to ensure that any waste arising on site
is managed within the terms of the site waste management plan and in checking the
effectiveness of such measures.

SWMP Alfreton Grange Arts College

(4) The principal contractor must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that waste
produced during construction is re-used, recycled or recovered.
(5) Failure to comply with this paragraph is an offence.

Additional duties on the client

(1) The client must give reasonable directions to any contractor so far as is necessary to
enable the principal contractor to comply with these Regulations.
(2) Failure to comply with this paragraph is an offence.

Additional duties on both the client and the principal contractor

(1) Both the client and the principal contractor must review, revise and refine the site waste
management plan as necessary, to ensure that any changes in respective roles and
responsibilities are clearly communicated to those affected.
(2) Both the client and the principal contractor must take reasonable steps to ensure that
sufficient site security measures are in place to prevent the illegal disposal of waste from
the site.
(3) Failure to comply with this paragraph is an offence.

1.3 Good and Best Practice Areas for Consideration

Though not legal requirements, the following items are suggestions for good and best practice
that could improve the overall standard of waste management:

Rather than placing the onus of being responsible for waste management on a site to an individual,
to ensure cooperation among site staff it would be a good idea to divide the site into several areas
and assign such responsibility to a number of individuals, one for each area and, possibly on a rota
basis to gradually train all relevant members of the project team;
Involve waste management contractors at the early stages of the project to discuss opportunities
for recycling and agree high levels of recycling of waste;
Set targets for trade contractors in relation to the following parameters: waste diverted from landfill,
waste minimisations recycling rates and waste recovery rates.
Set targets for trade contractors in relation recycled content of materials employed;
Set out a general strategy for the recycling and reuse of specific waste streams such as concrete,
soil, metals etc. and advise the main contractor to refer to WRAPs website
www.wrap.org.uk/construction for further guidance on how to manage specific waste streams.
Use clearly labelled containers optimised for segregation of specific waste streams;
Consider the use of compacters and balers;
Designate a reuse area within the site logistics;
Use just-in-time delivery (e.g. through a consolidation centre) for materials and avoid double-
handling;
Set a procedure to collect feedback from trade contractors, visitors etc. for the purpose of
reviewing, revising and refining the plan (as per Schedule of Additional Duties, sec.3 par.1 of the
regulations)

2 Definition of Waste
Waste is defined in Article 1 (1) (a) of the Waste Framework Directive (2006/12/EC) and means.
any substance or object .which the holder discards or intends or is required to discard. All waste
that falls within the scope of this definition will be recorded in this SWMP.

Waste is widely defined and includes excess unwanted materials, effluents, unwanted surplus
substances arising from the application of any process and any substance or article which is broken,
worn out, contaminated or otherwise damaged. Waste becomes controlled by legislation when it is
discarded by the holder. Materials sold for re-use or re-cycling are still classified as waste and
subject to all the statutory controls, including Duty of Care.

3 Storage & Transportation

Under the Controlled Waste (Registration of Carriers and Seizure of Vehicles) Regulations 1991 (SI
1624) (as amended), it is a criminal offence for anyone who is not registered as a waste carrier to
transport controlled waste.

All waste carriers to be used on the Project will be listed in the Waste Summary Table (Section 5.5).

At the site compound the waste will be stored in an appropriate, clearly labelled containers. The
Waste Champion will maximise the recycling opportunities and ensure that waste streams are
separated to facilitate this.

All materials brought to site will be stored and handled appropriately to minimise unnecessary
wastage. Any site welfare facilities will be equipped with sufficient waste disposal containers for their
needs, including recycling containers for plastic and cans.

The site compound will utilise the existing foul drainage infrastructure to dispose of sewage
produced by the on-site toilet provision. Where it is not possible to locate a toilet near to an existing
drainage point, we will provide a portaloo which will be monitored and serviced regularly

4 Disposal of Waste
Any waste which cannot be used on site will be recycled or disposed of off site, via a registered
carrier to:-
A licensed landfill site; or
A licensed transfer station; or
A licensed recycling facility, or
An exempt site

Any waste disposed of to landfill must be pre-treated first. This is most easily achieved by recycling
at least one of the projects waste streams. Licensed landfill sites will not accept waste unless
accompanied by a declaration of pre-treatment. A pre-treatment confirmation form fulfils this
requirement and must accompany any waste disposed of to landfill.

Every proposed destination site will be checked to ensure that a valid permit or waste exemption has
been issued by the Environment Agency for the type of waste to be received.

Site Waste Management Plan 6 of 17 Project Issue 1 Feb 2015

 Typical
SWMP Alfreton Grange Arts College

If there are any suspicions regarding the waste contractor the Project Team will confirm that
the waste is being taken to the site agreed with the Carrier. This may be done by:
Telephoning the destination site to confirm arrival
Receiving written confirmation of receipt from the destination site
Timing the carriers return trips
Following a load and taking photographs as necessary.

Any actions from the above list will be recorded in the Project File.
Any illegal activities will be dealt with immediately by notification to the Environment Agency.

The disposal of non-hazardous and inert waste will be covered by a fully completed insert name of
company producing the waste transfer notes

Disposal of hazardous waste is strictly controlled by separate legislation in England & Wales. The
Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005 contains a revised definition of what constitutes Hazardous
Waste. Every site in England & Wales will register with the Environment Agency as a producer of
hazardous waste and the premises code issued shall be noted in the Waste Summary Table
(Section 5.5) and used on all Hazardous Waste Consignment Notes.

Every movement of waste must be accompanied by a Transfer Note, or, in the case of Hazardous
Waste, a Consignment Note. These will be retained, filed and held at the site office. Waste
Transfer Notes will be retained for at least two years and Consignment Notes for three years as
required by the legislation. Completed Waste Transfer Notes and Consignment Notes will be filed in
Section 13.7 of the Project File.

When any waste is removed the principal contractor must record on the plan
(a) The identity of the person removing the waste;
(b) The waste carrier registration number of the carrier;
(c) A copy of, or reference to, the written description of the waste required by section 34 of
the Environmental Protection Act 1990; and
(d) The site that the waste is being taken to and whether the operator of that site holds a
permit under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or is
registered under those Regulations as a waste operation exempt from the need for such a
permit.

The Waste Champion will be responsible for ensuring the skips are checked regularly and the
contents disposed of correctly, and for keeping all relevant Hazardous Waste Consignment Notes
and Waste Transfer Notes for filing.

Decisions taken to minimise quantities of waste produced on site

According to the Regulations (2008), Sec.6, par.3, It must record any decision taken before the site
waste management plan was drafted on the nature of the project, its design, construction method or
materials employed in order to minimise the quantity of waste produced on site. Below indicate
what decisions were taken before the SWMP to reduce wastes produced on site:
1) Nature of the project
2) Its design
3) Construction methods
4) Materials employed

5 Potential Wastes and Management Options at Alfreton

Grange Arts College
At the start of the project, the site team will anticipate the different waste streams and estimate the
quantities to be re-used, recycled or disposed of. This data will be recorded in the Waste Summary
Table - Section 5.5. The first page, containing the initial targets set for re-using and recycling the
different waste streams, is to be printed and filed in paper form as part of Section 5.3. The rest of
the form is updated every month with the actual waste figures achieved. This is kept as an
electronic document in the Project File.

Y tender and selection process
Each contractor will be made aware of the size of the
Y storage areas available on site, ordering of materials
will be planned to be just in time to reduce double
handling, unnecessary storage and damage potential.
Initial consideration has been made for sub-contractor
Y storage although the site layout will evolve as the
various contractors are appointed.
We will liaise with our supply chain partners to ensure
Y where possible and appropriate recycled products will
be incorporated
This will be maximised with our supply chain partners
Y as part of their order
We have the facility to advertise surplus materials that
Y can be used on other projects.
This will form part of our site operation procedures
Y
Waste arisings such as excavated material will be
Y stored on site until such a time that it will be reused in
the works, this also includes topsoil e.g. for post
completion works and landscaping.
Please refer to site logistics plan in Appendix A
Y
These will be further developed in section 5.3
Asbestos will need to be removed from the existing
Y school buildings during the post completion works.
Relevant hazardous waste removal licenses and pre-
notification procedures will be adhered to.
Designated washdown areas will be utilised.
Y
Consideration has been given to the crushing on-site
of demolition arisings this may lead to the reuse of
Y material without the need to export it and import stone
or other hard granular sub-base material
Should material be unsuitable for use on-site
consideration has been given to the crushing off-site
Y of demolition arisings this will lead to the reuse of
material off-site.
