10B1X Waste Management Plan
PART 1 – GENERAL
1.2 SUMMARY
A. The Owner has established that the Project shall minimize the creation of construction and
demolition waste on the Project site and shall recycle and/or salvage non-hazardous
construction, demolition, and land clearing debris to divert waste from Landfills. See 1.5 Waste
Management Goals.
1. All profits resulting from salvaging and recycling shall go to the Contractor.
2. Where there is little cost difference between recycling/salvaging and land-filling of items,
the Contractor is directed to recycle/salvage.
B. Hazardous materials are an exception to this Section. Comply with applicable requirements of
Local, State and Federal regulations.
C. This Section includes administrative and procedural requirements for recycling, salvaging and
disposing of non-hazardous demolition and construction waste

1.4 DEFINITIONS
A. Chemical Waste: Includes petroleum products, bituminous materials, salts, acids, alkalis,
herbicides, pesticides, organic chemicals, and inorganic wastes.
A. The Owner has established that as much as is economically feasible of the “waste” materials
produced as a result of the Work, shall be employed, salvaged, reused, or recycled in order to
minimize the impact of construction and demolition waste on landfills and reducing disposal
costs.
B. Contractor shall employ and encourage practices that ensure the generation of as little waste as
possible due to error, poor planning, breakage, mishandling, contamination, or other factors.
C. Contractor is responsible for knowing and complying with regulatory requirements, including
but not limited to Federal, State and local, pertaining to legal disposal of all construction waste
materials.
F. The Contractor shall develop a Construction and Demolition Waste Management Plan of non-
hazardous construction and demolition waste. The plan shall identify the materials to be
diverted from disposal and define the materials to be separated on-site or off-site. Calculations
can be done by weight or volume, but must be consistent throughout.
1.6 SUBMITTALS
A. Waste Management Plan: A Project-specific plan for the collection, transportation, and
disposal of the waste generated at the construction site, shall be submitted for approval within
14 calendar days after notice to proceed, or prior to any waste removal, whichever occurs first.
The approved Plan shall be distributed to all subcontractors and the owner and will not relieve
the Contractor’s responsibility for compliance with applicable environmental regulations.
An example template is included as “Appendix A” to this section.
1. The Waste Management Plan shall include the following:
a. Identify each type of waste material produced as a result of the Work on the Project
Site.
b. Identify each type and quantity of demolished and waste material intended to be
recycled, salvaged or reused.
c. Identify material separation requirements.
e. Identify location of temporary on-Site storage for recycled and reused materials.
f. Identify final destination means of transportation for each recycled and reused
material.
h. Identify the name/phone number of the Contractor’s on-site coordinator of the Waste
Management Plan.
i. Indicate permit or license and the location of the municipal solid waste landfills and
other disposal area(s) to be used.
j. List of materials that cannot be recycled or reused.

PART 3 – EXECUTION
3.1 GENERAL
A. Implement the Waste Management Plan as approved by the City of Austin Project Manager.
Provide handling, containers, storage, signage, transportation, and other items as required to
implement Waste Management Plan during the entire duration of the Contract.
2. Off-site separation: Materials to be recycled are delivered unsorted from the Project site
to a materials recovery facility or transfer station where recyclable materials are
separated from other waste.
a. Contractor shall verify that the entity responsible for the off-site separation has a
market for all materials required to be recycled from the Project site.
b. The same Submittals procedures shall apply.
c. Protect materials from contamination.
3.4 REUSE
A. Contractor is encouraged to reuse as many demolished and waste materials as possible.
3.5 SALVAGE
A. Salvage Guidelines:
1. The contractor is encouraged to salvage as many items as deemed economically
possible, considering reduction of land filling fees and possible use by others.
2. Assemble potentially salvageable items in one area and donate or sell to the public after
review by the City of Austin Project Manager.
3. All proceeds from the sale of salvaged items shall go to the contractor.
