This document discusses construction and demolition (C&D) waste management. It defines C&D waste as debris from building construction, remodeling, repair, and demolition projects. Examples include soil, metal, concrete, wood, and hazardous materials. The document notes that India generates 350 million tons of C&D waste annually. Proper waste management is important for legal compliance, sustainability, health and safety, and reducing landfill usage. Benefits of C&D waste management include minimizing landfill use and pollution while reducing costs and improving sustainability. The waste management hierarchy prioritizes prevention, reuse, recycling, recovery, and safe disposal. A site waste management plan outlines segregating, collecting, reusing, recycling, and dis

8. Site Waste Management Plan:
1. Segregate the waste material at source.
2. Collect the segregated wastes at designated waste
collection locations / waste skips.
3. Any material which can be reused at site, must be
separated and stored properly.
4. Recycle materials like concrete, block and sand waste at
site only for reuse.
5. Send materials to recovery plants to recycle the waste for
new products.
6. Only send materials to landfill which can not be recycled.
