Construction and Demolition Waste Disposal

If you are a builder, a renovator, construction site manager an owner builder or a demolisher - one of the important questions in your project is how to manage and dispose of Construction and Demolition Waste.
Some Examples of Construction and Demolition (C & D) Waste are:

• excavated material such as rock and soil
• waste asphalt, bricks, concrete, plasterboard, timber and vegetation
• asbestos and contaminated soil
  

Each Building or Construction Site, particularly in Melbourne, Vic, Australia must have their Waste Management Plan, which will stipulate how the C &D waste will be managed and legally disposed of.
Due to some creativity or desparate measures due to cashflow issues, some operators have succumbed to the lure of getting rid of waste for free or nearly for free via engaging some dubious waste transporters or making illegal agreements with some rural land owners or farmers.
The EPA has stepped up its illegal dumping force and consequent fines, which range from $7500, or up to $777,300 (5000 penalty units) if prosecuted. EPA can require the waste generator, transporter and receiver to clean up and pay for waste to be taken to a lawful place.
To ensure that your building or construction site is compliant with the local Waste Disposal Laws - it is critical to be associated with a reputable Waste Management Company or a Skip Bin Hire Company,  which will be licensed to transport your waste and then deal with it accordingly to separate and either further recycle or take it to other recycling or material processing facilities.
When dealing with Soil in Particular - it is very important to obtain a soil report first, to determine whether soil is contaminated and to what extent, which will allow you then to select the appropriate Soil Transporter, who will need an appropriate EPA license to transport contaminated soil.
In addition to having Waste Management plans on your Building or Construction Site, the following are the suggestions from the EPA of what information you might be requested from the EPA, should they decide to visit your building site:

Supplying information about waste

At any time, you can be asked to supply information about your waste. Ensure all relevant information is disclosed, such as:

• waste assessment and categorisation reports, including sampling methodologies and laboratory analysis for potentially harmful materials such as contaminated soil
• written procedures and plans for managing waste, including handling and storage procedures, and incident response plans
• development applications, including waste management plans
• site assessments including contaminated site assessments, and environmental and geotechnical studies.

The maximum penalty for supplying false or misleading information about waste to EPA is $373,104.
