It is a legal requirement to complete a waste transfer note for each load of waste generated that leaves your premises, whether it is recyclable materials or not, or liquid and solid waste. Furthermore, it is important to use the waste hierarchy when managing your business’s waste. The Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 requires context when managing your business’s waste. You should start with prevention, followed by reuse or recycling and minimization. By completing these steps, you will ensure compliance with the UK government’s laws of waste management requirements.

The construction process has a lot of waste produced and produces a more dangerous environment in work in with all of the construction and demolition debris and excavation waste. Careful waste storage and having a site waste management plan minimises possible hazards and accidents around the construction site and protect human health.

3. Corporate environments responsibility

This will put less strain on the natural resources we have left and you can fell proud knowing your business is playing a part in reserving our planet with a sustainable building.

4. Progressive work ethic

By employing this integral part of work ethic in your business, it could spread in other ways outside of your business. Employees who take care of the waste generated responsibly at work may also do the same at home and be more conscious of it in future jobs. This will hopefully lead to the safe disposing of waste to occur as standard practice.
