REMODELING PROJECT
TABLE OF CONTENTS
This Manual outlines the process of activities and tasks that should be followed during
preconstruction, Construction and Close-out Phase. These activities and tasks outlined serves as
policy guidelines that will ensure proper preparation for a successful Waste Management Plan.
There are four main activities divided into multiple tasks. The first activity requires the development
of the project’s goals for waste management. It is imperative that these goals are realistic to the
project and reiterated to all parties throughout the project’s duration.

1. Comply with the KAUST’s Waste Management Plan and align his procedure in
accordance KAUST Procedures
2. Carryout Duty of Care
3. Implementing an effecting data collection and waste tracking system
4. Participate in investigations
This is not to mention environmental issues such as airborne pollutants (dust) and noise that will be
generated during the construction activities. Material hazards brought in for construction will also
have to pass the scrutiny of this manual.
The site challenges presented on Waste and Environmental Issues calls for an appropriate response
by way of active participation of all concerns toward this effort. Despite the Manual Limitations and
aware of the fact that it requires updating and continuous improvement, the intent and design
outlined may be appropriate reference guide for this purpose.
Furthermore, what is outline was the adoption of waste management measures which is applicable
in the scope requirements set forth in this project. Hence, what is not applicable is not included.
It shall be responsibility of ABC to identify the type/characteristic of waste, ensure that wastes
are stored, treated and disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.
1. Classify and identify waste; as the first step in waste tracking process. ABC must therefore
decide if the waste is
Industrial, commercial or municipal
Liquid or solid
Hazardous, non-hazardous or inert
2. Refrain from delivering or transferring wastes to a waste transporter or to a facility which
are not registered, with Competent Agency;
3. Refrain from delivering consignments of waste for transportation without being
accompanied by proper offsite transportation documents (waste transfer note or
hazardous waste manifest)
4. Identify opportunities for waste avoidance/minimization and implement measure for
such.
5. Enable segregation of municipal solid waste into general, organic and recyclable
waste. In case of hazardous waste ensure safe storage
6. Train and educate staff on waste minimization, reuse, recycling and disposal.
The first process in creating a plan is to identify a waste diversion goal for your
project. For example: “30% of all project wastes will be reused or recycled.” Try to
keep the goal realistic, but don’t underestimate potential resources.
A critical second process in development of a plan will be to predict the project’s
waste generation. Break your project down into phases and make your best
prediction of the types and quantities of wastes that will be generated. Remember,
these are estimates and can be revised as necessary
The next step will be to devise handling procedures for all project wastes. Make
sure you have the proper containers and adequate space to implement your plan.
Some haulers and recyclers may have special requirements or restrictions on the
condition and types of materials they will accept.
The final step in outlining your plan will be identification of a destination for each
material that is generated on your project

Separate recyclable materials by type, Provide containers, clearly labelled, by type of separated
materials or provide other storage method for managing recyclable materials until they are
removed from Project site
According the type of building and project requirements, Two skips for inert and recyclable waste
are provided for all or some of the following: asphalt, cardboard, concrete/CMU/brick, glass,
gypsum board, paper plastic, metal, and wood.
WASTE PREVENTION
In addition to other requirements specified herein it is a requirement for the work of
this project that the contractor comply with the applicable local waste disposal
requirements
Of the inevitable waste that is generated, the waste materials designated in this
specification shall be salvaged for reuse and or recycling where practical and possible.
Waste disposal in landfills or incinerators shall be minimized where practical and
possible. On new construction projects this means careful recycling of job site waste.
On demolition projects this also means careful removal for salvage
Project Construction Documents: The General Contractor will contractually require all
subcontractors to comply with these recycling guidelines. A copy of this “Construction
Waste Management Plan” will accompany contractor agreements and require
contractor participation
Salvageable materials will be diverted from disposal where feasible
There will be a designated area on the construction site reserved for materials that can
be recycled
MINIMIZING WASTE
Waste minimization is a process of elimination that involves reducing the amount of waste
produced in society and helps eliminate the generation of harmful and persistent wastes,
supporting the efforts to promote a more sustainable society. Waste minimisation involves
redesigning products and/or changing societal patterns, concerning consumption and
production, of waste generation, to prevent the creation of waste.
The most environmentally resourceful, economically efficient, and cost effective way to
manage waste is to not have to address the problem in the first place. Waste minimisation
should be seen as a primary focus for most waste management strategies. Proper waste
management can require a significant amount of time and resources; therefore, it is
important to understand the benefits of waste minimisation and how it can be implemented
in all sectors of the economy, in an effective, safe and sustainable manner.
WASTE DIVERSION
Management should monitor Waste Management Coordinator to make certain the following
responsibilities are completed appropriately
ABC must remind the goals and responsibilities for the Waste Management Plan. This should be
done throughout the entire project duration.
Trash and recycle bins should be clearly marked with acceptable materials
ABC should be present at safety or toolbox meetings to remind workers of their commitment to
waste diversion. This is also an effort to keep workers motivated
ABC must monitor each VENDOR and worker’s actions to ensure the proper placement of recyclable
materials
ABC should aim to keep their waste separate from other’s waste to ensure easy separation for
recycling
ABC should be urged to use sturdy pallets and pick them up for reuse
When a dumpster or recycling receptacle is full it is the AVERDA duty to arrange a pick-up
