Practical guidance
How to pass the general waste management review the first time
- Plan waste before the job. The document states waste types are estimated at the pre-job stage so containers and removal can be arranged. A reviewer expects that planning step.
- Coordinate with the site owner. The document states disposal responsibility is agreed with the site owner before work begins. Confirm that conversation happens.
- Segregate for recycling. The document states waste is segregated for reuse and recycling where possible. A reviewer expects that practice on site.
