Waste Management Plan Guidelines:

1. This project shall target a C&D waste diversion rate of _______%. Work forces shall generate the least amount of waste possible by planning and ordering carefully, following all proper storage and handling procedures to reduce broken and damaged materials, and reusing materials wherever possible. Waste materials generated shall be salvaged or separated for recycling to the extent that is economically feasible.

2. The Waste Management Chart identifies the waste materials expected to be generated on this project, the disposal method for each material, and any handling requirements.

3. Waste diversion activities shall be discussed at each safety meeting. Each contractor and subcontractor shall receive this WMP and be provided a tour of the job site. Each subcontractor is expected to make sure all work crews comply with the WMP. All containers shall be clearly labeled and lists of accepted/unaccepted materials will be posted throughout the site.

4. To the maximum extent possible, all recyclables will be taken to the Fort Knox Recycle Center. Weight of recyclables not sent to the Fort Knox Recycle Center shall be reported to the Fort Knox Solid Waste Manager, Bldg. 1110, room 224 monthly. Reports are due by the 10th of the next month.
