Site Waste Management Plans (3 July 2007)
Date: 03/07/2007
Site Waste Management Plans
The UK produces around 400 million tonnes of waste annually, of which approximately 72 million tonnes comes from construction sites. In an attempt to reduce this, the Government is introducing Site Waste Management Plans (SWMPs), which are due to become a legal requirement for the construction industry in England and Wales by spring 2008. The aim is to provide a structure for dealing with waste delivery and disposal at all stages during the construction process.
SWMPs are likely to affect anyone planning a construction project costing more than £250,000 and suppliers to the construction industry.
In order to help those affected prepare for the new requirement, the Government has launched an awareness-raising campaign, commencing with the publication of guidance entitled ‘Site Waste – It’s Criminal – A Simple Guide to Site Waste Management Plans’. This includes information on how to create a SWMP.
