Background

A good demolition or construction waste management plan fits the available recycling options for the development’s area. A good operational waste management plan / process will improve the recycling behaviour of apartment inhabitants by making recycling easy. The development will exist for multiple decades, so a small regular improved recycling performance of tenants becomes very significant over the life of a building. This is simple environmentalism.

These plans are a reasonable attempt by councils to have developers minimise waste and maximise recycling of demolition and construction materials, or ensure the waste management process is logical and easy during the operation of a facility – to avoid situations where bin stores are not designed to be large enough to accommodate all of the waste generated, or getting the bins to a safe location for collection is not easy.
