GENERAL
1.1
SUMMARY
.1
.2
Projects shall generate the least amount of construction and demolition waste possible,
by utilizing the following methods:
.1
Plan for waste minimization and diversion before project start-up. Small projects
(see Submittals section) are not required to create Waste Management Plans,
however all projects are encouraged to do so. A Waste Management Plan
template is provided in the Submittal Templates section.
.2
Minimize waste due to error, poor planning, breakage, mishandling,
contamination, or other factors.
.3
Reuse or salvage as much material as possible.
.4
Recycle all materials that can be feasibly recycled.
Waste Diversion Goal
.1
.3
The goal for projects not being certified under LEED or REAP green building
systems is to divert at least 75% of construction and demolition waste from
disposal. For LEED or REAP projects, refer to current LEED and REAP
requirements for waste diversion targets and other waste related requirements.
All projects shall track (via project submittals) the amount of waste and diversion
achieved. Tracking and reporting templates are provided in the Submittal Templates
section.

SECTION 01740
CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT
PAGE 1 OF 8
Required submittals depend on the type of project. Refer to Section 1.3
Submittals.
Refer to information packages available from UBC and also the Metro Vancouver DLC
Waste Management Toolkit for information on how waste diversion targets can be
achieved. In many cases, economic savings are possible by reducing, reusing and
recycling waste instead of disposing waste.
1.2
WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
.1
Developing a Waste Management Plan is a simple process that be achieved by filling out
a template. Refer to the template found in section 2.5.
.2
A Waste Management Plan shall contain the following information:
.1
Estimates of the types and amounts of waste expected to be generated on the
project, where the wastes will be taken for processing, and the expected
diversion rates for each type of material.
.3
Planning for waste management should include determining if demolition and
construction waste materials will be source-separated on the project site and/or
commingled for later separation at the processing site, and how waste materials will be
separated (where applicable) and stored on the project site. Note that commingled waste
collection may be restricted in LEED projects.
1.3
SUBMITTALS
.1
All projects:
.1
Within 2 weeks of the completion of demolition or deconstruction work and also
within 2 weeks of completion of construction or renovation work, submit Waste
Tracking forms and Waste Diversion Report(s).

PAGE 2 OF 8
In addition to the above submittals, no later than 2 weeks prior to removing any
waste from the Project site, submit Waste Management Plan.
.3
Projects applying for LEED and REAP certification may utilize the waste tracking and
reporting submittals specified under LEED and REAP rating systems, as alternatives to
the above Waste Diversion Reports and Waste Tracking Templates.
.4
Where UBC provides electronic templates, UBC encourages the creation of submittal
documents using these templates, as they include formulas to calculation waste diversion
and other reporting information.
.5
UBC may also make available online (web based) electronic construction and demolition
waste submittal forms. In this case, submittals through the online system are
encouraged, however paper submittals may still be required for LEED and REAP
projects.

.2

DEFINITIONS
.1
Construction and Demolition Waste: Solid wastes typically including but not limited to,
building materials, packaging, trash, debris, and rubble resulting from construction,
re-modelling, repair and demolition operations.
.2
Commingled Waste: Unlike source separated waste, commingled waste entails collecting
multiple types of waste together in a single container for later separation at a waste
processing facility.
.3
Disposal: Removal of a waste material that will not be reused, returned, recycled, or
salvaged from the project site (see Trash).
.4
Diversion rate: The amount of waste reused, returned, salvaged, and recycled; divided by
the total amount of waste generated, in percent; 100% diversion rate means no waste is
disposed.
.5
Hazardous: Exhibiting the characteristics of hazardous substances including, but not
limited to, ignitability, corrosiveness, toxicity or reactivity.
.6
Recyclable: The ability of a product or material to be recovered at the end of its life cycle
and re-manufactured into a new product for use by others.
.7
Recycle: To remove a waste material from the Project site to another site for remanufacture into a new product for use by others.
.8
Return: To give back reusable items or unused products to vendors for credit.
.9
Reuse: To utilize a construction waste material in some manner on the Project site.
.10
Salvage: To remove a waste material from the Project site to another site for resale or
use by others.
.11
Sediment: Soil and other debris that has been eroded and transported by storm or well
production run-off water.

.12
Source Separation: The act of keeping different types of waste materials separate
beginning from the first time they become waste.
.13
Trash: Any product or material unable to be reused, returned, recycled, or salvaged.
.14
Waste: Extra material or material that has reached the end of its useful life in its intended
use. Waste includes salvageable, returnable, recyclable, reusable, and trash materials.

Handle waste materials in accordance with appropriate regulations and codes.
WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AND TRACKING
.1
Designate an on-site party (or parties) responsible for instructing workers and overseeing
and documenting results of the Waste Management Plan for the Project.
.2
Distribute copies of the Waste Management Plan to the Job Site Foreman, each
Subcontractor, the Owner, and the Consultant.
.3
Provide on-site instruction of appropriate separation, handling, and recycling, salvage,
reuse, and return methods to be used by all parties at the appropriate stages of the
Project.
.4
Lay out and label a specific area to facilitate separation of materials for potential
recycling, salvage, reuse, and return. Recycling and waste bin areas are to be kept neat
and clean and clearly marked in order to avoid contamination of materials.
.5
Manage waste materials
.6

amount diverted (reused, salvaged or recycled).
.1
Request and retain all weight tickets and receipts from all waste
destinations such as transfer stations, recycling facilities, etc., showing
material weights both disposed and diverted. Retain these for a period of
