Project aim
Bovis Homes is committed to minimising our environmental impact. To that end we are expending time and effort to
develop and implement a SWMP for each site to ensure that the company procedures are consistently implemented,
maintained and effective in reducing the volume of waste requiring disposal during the construction of this development.
Specific Environmental aims, relating to waste management on this development are:

Recycle all plasterboard waste from the development via British Gypsum

Recycle all concrete, brick & block waste into inert fill/ sub formation material in drives/ hard standings

Management
The Site Manager is the environmental co-ordinator for the project and as such is responsible for instructing workers,
overseeing and documenting the results of the SWMP. The SWMP will be monitored by both Area Build Manager and
Regional Build Director during routine site visits.
A copy of the document together with all appendices will also be amalgamated into a Regional SWMP which will be issued
to Group Services who will on a six monthly basis aggregate the individual developments into a Group SWMP. Feedback
and best practice will also be collated and disseminated via this mechanism.
In order to check arrangements have been implemented at site the Site Manager is required to complete the checklist
contained in Appendix 1.

Waste management strategy on site
The fundamental strategy applied on all Bovis Homes sites is to minimise waste by applying the waste hierarchy as below
and to implement actions to Eliminate, Reduce, Reuse and Re-cycle before considering disposal. The removal of waste for
recovery via a Transfer station is included with stage 4.
Surplus or waste materials arise from either the materials imported to site or from those generated on site. Imported
materials are those, which are brought to the project for inclusion into the permanent works. Generated materials are those,
which exist on the project such as topsoil, sub-soil, trees and materials from demolition works etc.
The minimisation techniques which relate to design efficiencies and procurement of materials are excluded from this SWMP
which deals solely with the on site issues during production.

Waste management
5.1
Identifying and quantifying waste streams
A review of the works during the design stage and pre construction planning processes has identified the waste streams
and approximate quantities likely to be generated at site as set out in Appendix 2
Key decisions within the design process to minimise waste within this development include:
Decision impacting on waste
Recycling of plasterboard via British Gypsum
“take back” service
Date of decision
Record document
5.2 Managing waste on site
A specific areas shall be laid out and labelled to facilitate the separation of materials for potential recycling, salvage, reuse
and return. Recycling and waste bins are to be kept clean and clearly marked in order to avoid contamination of materials.
The control of waste is not only a key issue for Bovis Homes but also for all our contractors. Together we need to
minimise waste production – and reduce the expense of disposing of any waste materials that we produce.
We are adopting this scheme to ensure that all our waste is sorted into suitable categories, which is where we need your
help and co-operation.
We have highlighted four key categories of waste and organised to have those four different types of waste collected
separately from four colour coded skips. These skips will be clearly marked and located on each Bovis Homes site within
a central Waste Control Zone.
Inactive waste
Active waste

should be used for dry-lining contractors to
dispose of plasterboard off-cuts only

Managing waste removal
Waste being removed from site either to transfer station for recovery, or to landfill for disposal shall comply with the wast e
duty of care.
6
Managing the off site disposal process
6.1
Disposal of Waste
Waste being removed off site for disposal includes waste for recovery and potential reuse/ recycling and waste destined for
landfill.
Wherever possible waste should be directed to transfer stations for recovery as this is preferential to sending to landfill.
Under the Waste duty of care all waste leaving a Bovis Homes site must:

accompanied by a transfer note including the 6 digit waste description code

be carried by a registered carrier, and

be destined for a licensed waste facility
It is a Bovis Homes responsibility to ensure, as the producer of the waste, to ensure it is properly disposed of, and is
handled only by authorised/ licensed persons.
6.2
Licence details
Appendix 4 details the carrier & waste facility license details for waste leaving this site. the table will be expanded to
reflect the scope of works. Licence details are collected during the specific contractor pre start meetings and updated as
necessary during the regular contractor planning and liaison process.
7
Monitoring
The site will compile a monthly summary of waste generated by the site activities, and include any wastes delivered into
site for recycling/ transfer to disposal facility.
To achieve this requirement subcontractors will be required to complete the summary sheets set out in Appendix 4. This
together with waste transfer notes and hazardous waste consignment notes will form the basis of the regular reconciliations
which are undertaken.
