REBRI Resource Recovery All waste: Centralised Sorting and Storage (PDF)

This guide provides good practice advice to maximise recovery rates for all types of waste materials 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 C&D waste material diverted from landfill and cleanfill waste stream
• minimise contamination and damage of the material
• meet the requirements of both the construction or demolition client and the recycling operator.

This guideline covers:

• finding good markets for C&D waste
• collection and transportation services
• residual waste disposal
• health and safety hurdles
• a word on licensing
• resources and contacts
