Site Waste
Management Plans
What you need to know about site waste management
plans
What is a SWMP?
A SWMP sets out how resources will be managed and
waste controlled at all stages during a construction
project.
A SWMP covers:
Who will be responsible for resource management.
What types of waste will be generated.
How the waste will be managed – will it be reduced, reused or
recycled?
Which contractors will be used to ensure the waste is correctly
recycled or disposed of responsibly and legally.
How the quantity of waste generated by the project will be
measured.
Who is affected by a SWMP?
SWMPs affect anyone who is:
planning or delivering a construction project in England
with an estimated construction cost of over £300,000
working on smaller projects in England and want to
follow industry good practice
planning a public sector construction project valued at
more than £200,000 in Northern Ireland
planning a project for which your client or planning
authority requires a SWMP
a supplier to the construction industry.
Why do you need a SWMP?
To comply with the law – All projects in England with an
estimated construction cost of over £300,000 must have a
SWMP before work begins.
To protect the environment – SWMPs help to manage and
reduce the amount of waste produced by construction
projects, which means less waste goes to landfill. Other
environmental benefits include less damage to the local
environment, less fly-tipping, lower energy use and greater
use of recycled materials.
To save you money – Managing your materials more
efficiently immediately cuts costs. Better storage and
handling reduces waste and makes it easier for materials to
be recovered. Reusing materials on site will cut your disposal
costs.
What are the benefits of a SWMP?
Save time – You can answer queries about your waste from your
environmental regulator or local council quickly and easily.
Help you avoid prosecution – You can easily make sure all your waste is
disposed of legally.
Win new business – You can prove your environmental performance,
which can give you an advantage in the tendering process.
Understand and reduce waste disposal costs – You understand how
your waste is managed so you can identify where to save money and
reduce costs.
Enhance your reputation – Your customers can see where you are
helping the environment and making cost savings.
Help the environment – You will manage materials and waste on site
more responsibly so they are less of a risk to the local environment.
Improve future projects – When your SWMP is complete you will have
useful information for future projects about how you used resources and
managed your waste.
Site waste – the facts:
The average 8 cubic yard skip costs around £150.
The average cost of what is being thrown away in
that skip is over £1,600.
The cost of waste can be as much as £43/m2 in
typical construction projects.
10m tonnes of construction products are wasted
every year, at a cost of £1.5 billion.
The Waste Hierarchy
Simple steps to help you create your own plan
Step one – Plan and prepare
Step two – Allocate responsibility for the SWMP
Step three – Identify your waste
Step four – Identify how to manage your waste
Step five – Identify where and how to dispose of your waste
Step six – Organise your materials and waste
Step seven – Communicate the plan and carry out training
Step eight – Measure your waste and update your SWMP
Step nine – Review the success and learn lessons for the future

Reducing Waste through Off Site Construction
Off site construction has a range of benefits compared to traditional build
including the potential to greatly minimise on site waste. Through the
substitution of a range of off site construction methods there is the potential
to reduce on site wastage by up to 90%. Although some waste will be
transferred to the factory environment, the amount will be significantly
reduced. In this environment there can also be greater opportunities for
reuse or recycling.
Case Study – Kings Cross
Kings Cross Eastern Goods Yard
The Kings Cross development is the largest mixed use scheme in
Europe. The 67 acre site will incorporate premium office area, new
homes, retail, hotels, serviced apartments, student accommodation,
leisure, health, cultural, community, education and other uses. It is
estimated that the project will take 15 years to complete.
The Site Waste Management Plan includes details of the waste to be
segregated for recycling. The aim is to divert 70% of all waste
produced on site away from landfill; and
The percentage of recycled content of construction components was
measured using the WRAP Recycled Content Toolkit. This
engagement aimed to demonstrate that a 10% target for recycled
content is readily achievable. Davis Langdon carried out a summary
assessment of the project which showed a baseline recycled content
level of 22%, with a potential increase to 26.5%.
Case Study - 20 Fenchurch Street
Recycled content
Land Securities requires that all its London
portfolio projects achieve a minimum
specification of 20% recycled content by value – quick wins include
Plasterboard
Concrete
Ceiling tiles
Carpets
Waste minimisation and management
Land Securities requires that, except for
hazardous materials, at least 80% of
construction and demolition waste should
be reused or recycled.
Case Study - One Hyde Park
Construction Consolidation Centre
66% reduction in vehicle trips to the One
Hyde Park development.
Reduction in CO² emissions.
93% of materials arrive at the
Construction Consolidation Centre on
time.
100% of materials arrive at the
construction site on time.
100% of materials arrive in the right
quantity and in the right condition.
97% of on site waste recycled.
Reverse logistics employed using the
Construction Consolidation Centre.
Case Study - NATO Headquarters, Northwood
Key facts
48% less waste with volumetric
compared with traditional
construction.
5.2m3 less waste generated per
100m2 of construction.
Applicable to other types of
repetitive accommodation
(hotels, student residences,
etc.).
Case Study – Olympic Learning Legacy
Demolition Waste Management
Many internal objectives and pressures that influenced demolition
methodology and process on the Olympic park :-
Health & Safety
Sustainability
Programme – fixed and tight
Budget
Despite this a 90% target for demolition material to be re-used or recycled
was agreed and enshrined in S.106 Agreement
Key target to also minimise export and import of materials to reduce traffic
movements
Methodology
Retained Features
Demolition and Site Clearance Materials Management Plan
Pre-demolition audits
Establishing and communicating clear targets
Contractor SWMPs
Demolition Methods – Deconstruction rather than Demolition
Dismantling of Pylons
High value applications for recyclate
Keeping Material on Site
Reclamation for re-use
Waste to Energy rather than landfill
Achievements
98.5% (by weight) of demolition material re-used or
recycled
Over 425,000 tonnes of waste diverted from landfill
400,000 tonnes of concrete, bricks and masonry
processed into recycled aggregates
20,000 vehicle movements saved
Nine steel portal framed buildings reclaimed for re-use
660 tonnes of bricks, 176 tonnes of paving, and 5,400m of
kerbs reclaimed for reuse
EMERGING AND FUTURE
WASTE POLICY
DEFRA Waste Review – June 2011
Work with business on a range of measures to prevent
waste occurring wherever possible, ahead of developing
a full Waste Prevention Programme by December 2013
Consult on the case for increased recovery targets for
packaging waste, in time for a final decision in the
2012 Budget
Consult on introducing a restriction on the land-filling of
wood waste and review the case for introducing landfill
restrictions on other materials, including textiles and
biodegradable waste
