2. THE LAW ON WASTE All wastes are subject to a DUTY OF CARE on everyone involved in handling the waste from the person who produces it through to the person who finally disposes of, or recovers it. www.diemltd.co.uk
3. We can’t change the law so make legal compliance work If we don’t have correct documentation: How can we check we are not being overcharged? How can we demonstrate compliance to clients & EA? How can we plan to manage and minimise future waste? www.diemltd.co.uk
4. We can only plan and measure from a known baseline So accurate records are vital. How much waste is measurable in pricing an delivering works in: 3 Yard 4 Yard 6 Yard 8 Yard 10 Yard 12 Yard 20 Yard Ro Ro 50 Yard Ro Ro Skips? www.diemltd.co.uk
5. Metal Stone Wood Segregation of waste on site is saving money on this Elevate East Lancashire site Metal Landfill tax £2.50/te Stone Landfill tax £2.50/te Wood Landfill tax £40/te www.diemltd.co.uk
7. Sadly, we don’t live in an ideal world or work on perfect sites www.diemltd.co.uk
8. Lack of space does not mean a lack of waste separation www.diemltd.co.uk
9. If we don’t have correct documentation: How can we check we are not being overcharged? How can we demonstrate compliance to clients & EA? How can we plan to manage and minimise future waste? Check your records Waste separation is not an exact science Work with your waste contractor or find one that will work with you www.diemltd.co.uk
