ABOUT

Make Well-Informed Choices for Efficient Construction Waste Management

Creating a Construction and Demolition Waste Management Plan (C&D WMP) goes beyond compliance—it’s a strategic approach to reduce waste, promote recycling, and ensure responsible disposal. These plans showcase a business’s commitment to sustainability while contributing to a circular economy.

C&D WMPs are often required for Development Applications (DAs) to demonstrate lawful waste management during demolition and construction. We assess each project individually to deliver tailored, compliant, and sustainable waste management solutions.

Our plans leverage comprehensive local, state, and federal waste management guidelines, ensuring a thorough and collaborative strategy. This approach delivers the best outcomes for all parties involved, balancing efficiency, compliance, and environmental stewardship.

01 Review Material Volumes

Estimate demolition and construction material volumes to ensure efficient waste management and recycling strategies are implemented effectively.

02 Recycling and Reuse Options

Detail specific recycling or reuse options for construction materials to reduce waste and promote sustainable practices on-site.

03 Save Costs

Effective waste management planning reduces costs by maximising landfill diversion and saving on disposal fees, transportation costs, and labour.

HOW IT WORKS

Supporting Thoughtful Deconstruction to Maximise Waste Recovery

01 Review volume estimates of deconstruction and construction materials

Assess quantities to optimise reuse, efficient segregation, and waste collection strategies, ensuring cost-effectiveness and regulatory compliance.

02 Detail potential reuse/recycling options for specific construction materials

Identify sustainable recovery solutions to maximise resource efficiency, lower waste handling costs, and minimise environmental impact.

03 Determine approximate tonnes and percentages to be recovered

Estimate recovery rates to support efficient waste logistics, promote circular economy practices, and reduce landfill dependency.

04 Provide information on recycling drop-off locations

Offer details on authorised facilities to streamline waste separation, minimise contamination, and enhance recycling efficiency.

05 Provide advice on site procedures and skip bins

Recommend best practices for effective waste segregation, collection strategies, and logistical planning to optimise processing and disposal costs.

06 Provide one Draft Construction and Demolition Waste Management Plan (C&D WMP)

Develop a comprehensive draft plan integrating reuse strategy, waste logistics, and compliance requirements to maximise sustainability.

07 Finalise C&D WMP to be submitted as part of the Development Application

Refine the plan to ensure accuracy and regulatory alignment, empowering informed decisions and long-term waste management success.
