1. Introduction
Construction Waste Management (CWMP) is an important tool to improve environmental performance
in addition to meeting regulatory controls and reduce rising costs of disposing waste. This document
sets out a basic structure on how CWM can be best used to improve and manage operations during all
stages of construction activities at project site.
As required by the green building regulations a minimum of 50% of waste will be diverted from landfill to
the recycling facilities.
The CWMP have been developed considering the
following objectives:

 Minimize the amount of Construction Waste generated on site

 Obtain maximum recyclables out of the generated Construction Waste

 Be economically viable

 To meet the client and regulatory requirements.

This document was prepared to provide an overview of onsite implementation strategies for
Construction Waste Management. However, along with strategies mentioned in this document, “XYZ”
will meet any other applicable local regulations.

1.1 Benefits of Construction Waste Management:

“XYZ” would like to obtain the economic advantages of the generated Construction Waste, by adopting
effective Construction Waste Management Strategies which can bring many benefits that includes but
not limited to the following:
a. Cost Reduction
Recycling, reusing, and salvaging construction waste can save money. Utilizing reuse and salvage
methods on site reduces the need for new materials, reduces materials that end up in the landfill,
creates a cleaner and safer project site, and improves community relations. As a result “XYZ” would like
to adopt the waste Management strategies in order to obtain the advantage of reduced waste disposal
costs and revenues derived from recycle, reuse and salvage materials
b. Environmental Benefits
“XYZ” would like to adopt better waste Management techniques in the Project due to the Environmental
benefits t h a t result from recycling and waste prevention programs. In the long run, preventing waste
reduces dependence on natural resources such as trees, oil, and minerals and creates less
pollution by reducing manufacturing and transportation related emissions. Reduction of the energy
and water required to produce building supplies from virgin materials contributes to reduced
greenhouse gasses related to the manufacturing and transportation of those materials.
c. Help the Economy

Technical Submission

Recycling and reuse of construction waste can also help the economy through the creation of jobs
related to salvaging and recycling of construction waste. New products create jobs through the
manufacturing of recycled content materials.

“paste policy”

4. Construction Waste Management Goals

 Limit the amount of construction waste generated on this project by limiting the
quantities of materials and packaging to only those necessary for the project.

 Divert construction waste generated on project site from landfills at no cost premium to
the project.

 Meet the regulatory requirements and to fulfil the requirement diverting a minimum of
50% waste from land fill or as required by the client or applicable rating system.

5. Waste Management Strategies

5.1 Planning and Execution

The Construction Waste Management Strategies should be implemented and executed as
follows:

 Designate a personnel with prior experience or training as a Waste Management

Coordinator

 There should be a designated area on the construction site reserved for a row of waste
skips/ containers each specifically labeled for respective materials to be received. Refer
Section 3.2 for details

 Before proceeding with any removal of construction materials from the construction
site, Waste Management Coordinator should inspect containers for compliance with the
requirements

 Reusable/Salvageable materials should be diverted from disposal and reused on site

wherever feasible

 Recyclable materials should be sent for recycling to recyclers

 Wood cutting should occur in centralized locations to maximize reuse and make collection
easier

 Hazardous waste should be managed by a hazardous waste hauler approved from DM.

As of now the waste Management contractors were not assigned to the project specific contractors
will be assigned in order to dispose the waste as required by the Dubai Municipality. Accordingly
the Plan can be revised.

5.2 Waste Segregation

A specific area should be laid out and labeled to facilitate the separation of materials for potential
recycling, salvage and reuse. Recycling and waste bins should be kept clean and clearly marked

Page 6 of 21
Logo Company Name

Technical Submission

in order to avoid contamination of materials. If the skips are clearly identified, the bulk of the
workforce should deposit the correct materials into the correct waste skip. Identified skips for
segregation of waste in the project are mentioned hereunder:

 General: Packaging, gypsum, tiles, cement boards, aerated blocks and insulation materials. An
alternative approach for these types of waste shall be to request the supplier to collect the
waste. This will be further confirmed.

 Inert Waste: Such as concrete wastes, masonry, blocks and stones.

 Wood: Wood Waste Only

 Metal: Steel and other Metal Wastes

 Paper/Cardboard: Paper/Cardboard Waste Only

 Plastic: Plastic Waste Only

 Hazardous: Electrical bulbs, batteries, computers, solvent sludge, paints/primers

5.3 Waste Collection & Segregation Areas

A central waste collection/segregation area is provided, removal of construction waste from site shall be
primarily from this area. Construction waste segregation area provided on site is sub-divided into dedicated
area with signage in different languages.

Construction waste will be hauled from site on a regular basis by the appointed waste haulers

Covered waste bins are allocated for storage of food waste adjacent to all workers rest area. Temporary
waste holding areas shall be barricaded with sufficient signage.

5.4 Waste Management Signage

1. Waste management signage will be placed in three languages

 Arabic
 English
 Most used languages by many workers.
2. Sizes of the signage will be as per DM – Waste Management Department Technical
Guideline No-1.

5.5 Waste Handling

The first attempt from the construction team should be to REDUCE the waste generation thereby
reducing the quantity of waste to be handled or managed on site. This not only provides better
control but also enables the contractors to reduce the material costs considerably. Waste materials,
generated at construction sites, fall into three categories for management as follows:

a. Re-used

If surplus or salvaged materials can be used in the permanent works they are classified as materials,
which have been re-used. If materials are surplus to requirements and need to be removed from site
and they can be removed and used in their present form, they can be removed from site for reuse.
If materials are salvaged, those should be segregated in dedicated waste skips on site as mentioned
in Section 3.2 of this document and can either be used at project site or any other construction site as

Page 9 of 21
Logo Company Name

Technical Submission

well. In both cases, the type and quantity of waste reused/salvaged must be documented properly by
Waste Management Coordinator.

b. Recycling

If the surplus material cannot be re-used in its present form but could be used in a different form, it is
sent for recycling such as timbers to make chipboard. Recyclable construction waste should be
segregated in dedicated waste skips on site as mentioned in Section 3.2 of this document and sent to
recyclers.
The type and quantity of waste sent for recycling must be documented properly by Waste
Management Coordinator.

c. Landfill
If either of the above cannot be satisfied, then the only option left is to send the surplus materials to
landfill. At proposed project site, landfill should always be considered as the last alternative. The type
and quantity of waste disposed of from the site must be documented properly by Waste Management
Coordinator.

5.6 Hazardous Waste Handling

When improperly handled, hazardous waste can cause substantial harm to human health and
safety or to the environment. Proper handling includes identification, accumulation, and disposal.
Common hazardous wastes form a construction site may include waste oils, asphalt products, paints,
pesticides and septic wastes.
Challenges of managing hazardous waste includes but not limited to:

 All site personnel must be trained to identify hazardous waste.

 Potentially hazardous materials/waste must be stored under watertight conditions

 Each type of Hazardous waste must be handled in a manner that is appropriate for that type.

 Must provide emergency spill team and equipment on site

 All Hazardous waste including concrete truck washout water will be disposed after obtaining the
necessary approval from Dubai Municipality.

Control Procedure for Concrete Truck Washout area

All the Concrete truck and Concrete Pump Operators will be inducted about site Procedures before
Mobilizing to the Project.

A stamping system shall be introduced in the project to control the unauthorized washout of the trucks.

Following concreting for the job, the extra/remnants of the concrete waste must not be disposed on
ground directly.

Note: If required to be disposed then polythene sheets must be provided underneath - Failure to follow
will result in Penalty being imposed on the concrete ready-mix supplier.

Washing of the concrete trucks must only be carried out at the designated washing bay i.e. in front of
concrete lab & after washing the 'Concrete Washing Coordinator' will stamp the delivery note indicating

Page 10 of 21

5.7 Communication & Education Plan

 The “XYZ” should conduct an on-site pre-construction meeting with subcontractors.

Attendance is must for the subcontractor’s key field personnel. The purpose of the
meeting is to reinforce to subcontractor’s key field employees about the commitments made
by their companies with regard to the project goals and requirements.

 Waste prevention and recycling activities should be discussed in each coordination meeting to
reinforce project goals and communicate progress to date.

 As each new subcontractor comes on site, the waste management coordinator should
present him/her with a copy of this CWMP and provide a tour of the waste segregation areas.

 The subcontractor should be expected to make sure all their crews comply with the Waste
Management Plan.

 All waste skips/ containers should be clearly labelled and should be located in close
proximity to the building(s) under construction in which recyclable/salvageable materials will
be placed.

 Lists of acceptable/unacceptable materials should be posted throughout the site.

 Waste Management Coordinator should inspect the containers on regular basis to ensure
that no contamination is occurring and take necessary precautions to discourage any
contamination.

6. Solid Waste Management

“XYZ” will manage waste in such a manner that meets DM and Client’s requirements so as to
prevent danger to the health and safety of their employees, the public, and to minimize the impact
on the environment. “XYZ” will handle waste management through an approved Waste
Management contractor approved by the Dubai municipality.

Waste will be segregated into following categories:

Reusable/ Recyclable solid waste – Timber, Cardboard, Paper, Packaging Waste, Concrete, Steel,
etc.
