CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT

A. Waste Management Goals

B. Waste Management Plan

1.03 WASTE MANAGEMENT GOALS

A. The Government has established that this Project shall generate the least amount of waste possible and that processes that ensure the generation of as little waste as possible due to error, poor planning, breakage, mishandling, contamination, or other factors shall be employed.

B. Of the inevitable waste that is generated, as many of the waste materials as economically feasible shall be recycled, reused, or salvaged. Waste disposal in landfills shall be minimized. For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply:

1. Hazardous Material Abatement/Removal: All hazardous materials identified onsite will be surveyed by an accredited testing agency licensed in the State of Washington. The surveying agency shall determine the type and quantity of the hazardous materials and shall provide the contractor a cost estimate for materials abatement and/or removal in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Hazardous Materials Survey to conclude if asbestos present are friable or non-friable. Contractor shall provide a Construction and Demolition Materials Disposition report to the CO prior to project close-out.

2. Recycle: To remove a waste material from the Project site to another site for remanufacture into a new product for reuse by others.

3. Reuse: To reuse a construction waste material in some manner on the Project site.

4. Salvage: To remove a waste material from the Project site to another site for resale or reuse by others.

C. Regarding these goals, the Contractor shall develop, for the Contracting Officer’s review and approval, a Waste Management Plan for this Project. The Final Waste Management Plan must be approved by the Contracting Officer prior to commencement of work.

RECYCLING ESTIMATING

A. Estimating the Amount of Recyclable Waste: Generation Rates

B. Estimating the Amount of Recyclable Waste: Conversion Figures

C. Tips on Reducing the Cost of Recycling

D. Estimating the Cost of Waste Management Encompassing Recycling

1.03 ESTIMATING THE AMOUNT OF RECYCLABLE WASTE: GENERATION RATES

A. One method of estimating the generation of different types of waste is to get average figures of waste generation for different construction materials. The following are estimates by material:

1. Corrugated cardboard 7.5% of commercial construction waste is scrap corrugated cardboard.

2. Dimensional lumber and pallets 18% of commercial scrap dimensional lumber and pallets.

3. Metals 4.5% of commercial scrap metal.

4. Gypsum wallboard: 1/2 pound per square foot of commercial becomes scrap.

5. Concrete 15% of commercial scrap concrete.

Section 01 56 00 Page 2

College of Architecture; Construction Materials Recycling Guidebook -- A Guide to Reducing and Recycling Construction and Remodeling Waste, Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities Area, 1993.)

B. Another method is to look at generation rates from similar projects. Several studies have been conducted on the amount of recyclable waste generated on commercial construction projects:

1. Construction of a 5,000-square foot restaurant generated 12,344 pounds of waste, or 2.46 pounds per square foot. This waste included the following recyclable materials:

a. Wood 7,440 pounds (61% of the waste)

b. Cardboard 1,414 pounds (11% of the waste)

c. Gypsum wallboard 500 pounds (4% of the waste)

(Source: Characterization of Construction Site Waste (1993), Metro Solid Waste Department (Portland OR).)

2. Six commercial renovation projects averaged the following percentages of recyclable materials:

a. Untreated dimensional wood 5% of all project waste

b. Cinderblock 19% of all project waste

c. Concrete without rebar 22% of all project waste

d. Ferrous scrap 5% of all project waste

(Source: "What's in a Building?", Demolition Age, September 1993.)

3. Construction of one commercial low-rise building generated the following percentages of recyclable materials:

a. Wood 8% of all project waste

A. Mixed Waste 350 lbs/CY 0.175 tons/CY 5.7 cu yds/ton

B. Wood 300 lbs/CY 0.15 tons/CY 6.7 cu

Section 01 56 00 Page 3

C. Cardboard 100 lbs/CY 0.05 tons/CY 20 cu yds/ton

D. Gypsum wallboard. 500 lbs/CY 0.25 tons/CY 4 cu yds/ton

E. Rubble 1400 lbs/CY 0.7 tons/CY 1.4 cu

(Source: Resource Efficient Building (1994), Metro Solid Waste Department (Portland OR).)

1.05 TIPS ON REDUCING THE COST OF RECYCLING

A. Schedule containers for collecting recyclables only when needed. For example, rent a collection container for cardboard only during the latter part of construction, when the majority of cardboard waste is generated.

B. Be sure to understand the market specifications so that recyclable materials are not rejected. For example, some markets for clean wood waste accept only dimensional lumber; others also accept plywood, particleboard, and oriented strand board.

C. Encourage scrap dealers to be flexible when possible. For example, a scrap metal dealer who initially refused to accept metal bands from around lumber was convinced to accept them when they were repeatedly folded and hit with a hammer, then put into an empty 5-gallon plastic bucket, so as to create a more dense item for transportation. (Creating these more dense bundles of metal bands also had the advantage of cutting down on injuries at the construction site.)

1.06 ESTIMATING THE COST OF WASTE MANAGEMENT ENCOMPASSING RECYCLING

A. The Contractor will submit to the Contracting Officer an estimated cost of construction waste management from the Project with the 75% progress report/pay request. The following steps will help arrive at an estimate of the cost, which involves recycling certain materials.
