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 that 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
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.

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
in order to avoid contamination of materials. If the skips are clearly identified, the bulk of the

of 21

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 well.

of 21
Company Name
Logo
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 tosend 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
the truck has been washed at the designated area.
Without the stamping the concrete trucks will not be allowed to exit the gate by “XYZ”/ client security.

The below mentioned picture is for illustration Purpose only.
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.
