New EPA guidance for industry on managing waste
The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA)
has recently updated its Construction and Demolition waste
portal1 to include new guidance to industry, targeted at
assisting compliance with the complex requirements for lawfully
transporting and disposing of construction wastes. The new
'Construction and Demolition waste: a management toolkit'
document2 provides a checklist of considerations for the
industry in how it disposes of construction waste, including:
- Considerations for how construction
companies tender for waste disposal contractors, including
considerations to include in preparing Waste Management Plans,
contractual obligations put on contractors, due diligence of
contractors, and record keeping.
