REBRI On-site waste sorting signage kit (PDF) - Tongan/English

The waste minimisation plan is a helpful tool that can assist you in a few different ways.

This plan provides a framework for: 

• Outlining who is responsible for managing waste on site 
• Setting waste minimisation goals 
• Recording the different types and amounts of waste from your project
• Describing recycling/reuse methods for each material 
• Identifying waste destinations and how it is being transported 
• Monitoring your progress 
• Describing communication and training used to support and encourage participation from everyone on site. 
• Reviewing the project – you can identify what went well and what can be improved next time. 

We recommend using this REBRI Waste minimisation plan with Adobe PDF reader for data capture.

This 20-minute module gives designers in-depth, practical guidance on design principles and considerations for lightweight steel framing that differ from timber construction. This module includes preplanning; steel basics; fixings and connections; and on-site remediation. 

This guide provides good practice advice to improve recovery rates for all types of metal from construction and demolition (C&D) sites.

The aim is to assist the resource recovery industry to provide collection and transportation services that:

• maximise the amount of metal diverted from landfill and cleanfill
• minimise contamination
• meet the requirements of the construction or demolition client and the recycling operator

The metal recycling industry in New Zealand is well established. This guide is not about how to process or recycle metal, but gives tips on providing a collection and transportation service that suits the demands of the building industry. This is relevant to both the recycling operators who provide a collection service and the transport operators who serve the recycling industry.

This guideline covers:

• what metal can be recycled from a C&D site
• collection and transportation services
• resources and contacts
• other guidelines in this series.
