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
2. Overview C&D Waste:
Waste comprising of building materials, debris and rubble resulting from
construction, re-modeling, repair and demolition of any civil structure.
Examples of some C&D waste are:
Soil / Sand / Gravel waste

6. Benefits:
Landfill disposal can be minimized.
Less impact on Environment and human health.
Reduces air, water and land pollution.
Waste handling cost can be reduced.
Improves in environment sustainability.
Avoiding penalties and fines from authorities.
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.
