1. WASTE MANAGEMENT GOAL
The Main waste management goal or objective is to recycle, reuse or salvage at least 75% by
weight of the waste being generated. The recycling, reuse or salvage of the wastes is to be
conducted at the waste management area.
2. WASTE PREVENTION MEASURES
 Designing of the waste management area, where recycling and general handling of the
recyclable waste being generated on-site due to various activities will be conducted
 Reusable metal forms will be used at the fabrication workshop
 Providing signs and synergies to provide awareness on waste management as well as
waste prevention measures.
3. REUSE AND SALVAGE ITEMS
Timber remains will be used for other works or making items where necessary.
4. COMMUNICATION PLAN
 Waste prevention and recycling activities will be discussed at prestart job meeting/
toolbox talks
 All waste containers will be labelled in ENGLISH and SWAHILI languages
5. WASTE MANAGEMENT
The management of TPS has a common practice that ‘All waste should reflect the Waste
Management Hierarchy’, waste prevention and minimization being the first priority succeeded
by reuse and recycling.
5.1 Prevention of waste
The primary effort should be engaging in waste prevention and reduce the amount of waste
generated in the first place i.e. use only the resources needed in a particular works.
Prevention is financially advantageous as it reduces the purchase of surplus materials and
obviates the need to remove wastes from site. It is important to emphasize the potential for
certain purchasing procedures to contribute to a reduction of excessive materials wastage
on site.
EXAMPLES
 Ensuring materials are ordered on “as needed basis” to prevent over supply to sites
 Purchasing coverings, paneling or other materials in shape dimensions and form
that minimizes the creation of excessive scrap waste on site
 Ensuring correct storage and handling of materials to minimize generation of
damaged materials/waste e.g. keeping deliveries packaged until they are ready to
be used
 Ensuring correct sequencing of operations; and
 Assigning individual responsibility (Through appropriate contractual arrangements)
to contractors for the purchase of raw materials and for the management of wastes
arising from their activities, thereby ensuring that available resources are not
expended in an extravagant manner at the expense of TPS.
Our design is based on Environmental friendly praxis and the necessary authorities
have been involved and consulted in the process.
5.2 Reuse of waste
Materials that are generated should be reused on-site or salvaged for subsequent reuse to
the greatest extent possible and disposal should only be considered as a last resort.
Initiatives should be put in place to maximize the efficient use/reuse of materials.
5.3 Recycling and disposal of waste
There are number of established markets available for the beneficial use of waste, all
materials will be sorted and stored in effective way on site and collected by our assigned
waste management companies;
5.3.1
Waste Timber can be


5.3.2
Reused to make furniture for office use or household
Sent for reprocessing as medium density fiberboard
Waste Concrete
Can be utilized as fill materials for roads or in the manufacture of new concrete
when arising at source.
5.3.3
Cardboard, glass, plastic, paper common and Newspaper
Will be collected by our assigned waste management company ‘LEMADE HAULERS
LTD’
5.3.4
Metal scrap, Aluminum scrap, waste oil and sludge
Will be Collected by assigned company “NUSHIPPER ENTERPRISES CO. LIMITED”.
5.3.5
Used batteries
Will be collected by assigned company “Fransis General Investment & Horse power
Ltd”
5.3.6
General Domestic waste
Will be collected by “LAMADE HAULERS LTD”.
5.4 Our Partners in the Waste Management:
All Companies are registered Companies by the Vice President’s office and certified by
National Environment Management Council (NEMC), we receive disposal or recycle
notifications of each collected item.
6. HOW TO IMPLEMENT THE WASTE MANAGEMENT?
6.1 Overall Management of waste
Waste Minimization, reuse and recycling need to be managed operationally be HSSEQ
department to take responsibility for all aspects of waste management at different stages.
6.1.1
Step One-Plan and Prepare
For TPS it is important that we started our WMP during the concept and designing
of different projects. Design decisions can make a significant contribution to prevent
and reduce waste in the first place.
For example: Can you purchase materials with less or returnable packaging?
Can you pre-order materials to specification?
Planning these steps in advance makes us able to get the most out of our materials
and helps us prevent them becoming waste.

6.1.2
Step two –Allocate responsibility for the WMP
Several departments (Projects & Engineering Operations, Procurements and HSSEQ)
have been involved in the delivery of the plan, but the HSSEQ is appointed to take
overall responsibility for the WMP.
6.1.3
Step Three-Identify your waste
Identify the types of waste that will be produced and educate everybody on how to
select and sort wastes. The early understanding and sorting makes the difference.
7. RECORD KEEPING
We should have a system that ensures that details of all arising, movement and treatment of
waste are recorded. All wastes delivered to waste management areas are recorded and all
wastes dispatched are recorded. Security will only allow waste to be taken out with delivery
note. All records to be kept at HSSEQ department. Records for generated wastes are
summarized and reported to the necessary authorities every quarter of the year.

10. WASTE AREA DESIGN
-Use of septic tanks, siphon using boozer and
emptied to a central landfill site
-Septic collected and siphoned with boozer
then emptied to a municipal waste water
treatment plants
Collected by certified waste collector and
disposed off at the factories for recycling
Treated by the end product if plastic sorted as
plastic, if not then treated as hazardous
waste and given to hazardous waste collector
