Control of Waste Policy

 

It is the policy of the Company to ensure that its undertakings comply with current legislation and are accomplished in such a way as to ensure our Duty of Care responsibilities are fully discharged

This policy will be reviewed annually, when circumstances indicate a change is needed or when legislation is introduced that necessitates change.

The implementation of this policy is the responsibility of the Managing Director. All employees have a responsibility to carry out their duties in accordance with this policy.

We seek to minimise the volume of waste produced because of our works and to ensure that our waste is managed in accordance with current Government waste management strategies and protocols.  We fully embrace waste minimisation schemes and adopt the following process to ensure that waste is managed responsibly.

• Reduce the volumes of waste generated
• Reuse wastes, without treatment, where possible
• Treat wastes to enable recycling or composting
• Treat wastes to enable energy recovery
• Disposal of residual wastes responsibly

 

This policy will be achieved by:-

• Assessing the volume and type of waste that will be produced.
• Establishing an effective means of waste segregation, where practical.
• Arranging for waste to be recycled or reprocessed whenever practical.
• Producing Waste Management plans when applicable.
• Providing training and information to enable employees to manage waste responsibly.
• Encouraging our clients, suppliers and subcontractors to support us in achieving the successful implementation of this policy.

 

As a registered waste carrier, we will carry waste in a responsible manner and transfer it to waste sites which are legally licensed to receive it.
