PART 2 PRODUCTS – NOT USED

PART 3 EXECUTION

2.1 CONSTRUCTION WASTE COLLECTION

A. Collect construction waste materials in marked bins or containers and arrange for transportation to recycling centers or adaptive salvage and reuse processing facilities.

Remove all indicated recyclable materials from the work location to approved containers daily. Failure to remove waste materials will be considered cause for withholding payment and termination of Subcontract.

017419 -4

B. Containers: Change out loaded containers for empty ones as demand requires, but not less than weekly. See Section 015000 for temporary protections for containers.

C. Handling: Deposit all indicated recyclable materials in the containers in a clean (no mud, adhesives, solvents, petroleum contamination), debris-free condition. Do not deposit contaminated materials into the containers until such time as such materials have been cleaned.

D. If the contamination chemically combines with the material so that it cannot be cleaned, do not deposit into the recycle containers. In such a case, request resolution by the Construction Quality Manager as to disposal of the contaminated material. Directions from the Construction Quality Manager do not relieve the Subcontractor from compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements for disposal, nor shall such directions cause a request for modification of the Subcontract

E. Maintain recycling and adaptive reuse storage and collection area in orderly arrangement with materials separated to eliminate co-mingling of materials required to be delivered separately to the waste processing facility.

F. Store construction waste materials to prevent environmental pollution, fire hazards, hazards to persons and property, and contamination of stored materials.

G. Cover construction waste materials subject to disintegration, evaporation, settling, or runoff to prevent polluting air, water, and soil.

2.2 CONSTRUCTION WASTE DISPOSAL

A. Deliver construction waste to waste processing facilities. Obtain receipt for deliveries.

B. Dispose construction waste not capable of being recycled or adaptively reused by delivery to landfill, incinerator, or other legal disposal facility. Obtain receipt for deliveries.
