  23. Waste Management Plan Specification Allowing the Use of Recycled inert Construction and Demolition Material WBTC No. 29/2000 WBTC No. 31/2000 WBTC No. 2/93 & 93A Public Dumps WBTC No. 2/93B Public Filling Facilities WBTC No.14/94 Use of PFA as General Fill in Reclamation WBTC No. 2/97 Use of PFA in Concrete Pile Caps and Substructures WBTC No. 4/98 Use of Public Fill in Reclamation and Earth Filling Projects WBTC No. 5/98 On-site Sorting of Construction Waste on Demolition Sites WBTC No. 5/99 Trip-ticket System for Disposal of Construction and Demolition Material WBTC No. 5/99A Trip-ticket System for Disposal of Construction and Demolition Material WBTC No. 19/99 Metallic Site Hoardings and Signboards WBTC No. 25/99 Incorporation of Information on Construction and Demolition Material Management in Public Works Subcommittee Papers WBTC No. 25/99A Incorporation of Information on Construction and Demolition Material Management in Public Works Subcommittee Papers (Amendment 1) WBTC No.12/2000 Fill Management Works Bureau Technical Circulars C&D material Management 23

  24. Trip Ticket : WBTC no.5/99 Application Public fill : Secretary of Public Fill Committee(CED) Generate not more than 100,000 cum: exempted C&D waste : PEPO of Facilities Management Group/EPD Generate not more than 50 cum: exempted 24

  25. A Sample Trip Ticket 25

  26. Key Requirements of Waste Management Plan • Types, quantities and qualities of wastes • Timing of waste arising • Measures for reducing waste generation • On-site waste sorting • On-site and off-site reuse • Areas for waste storage • Quantities of wastes requiring off-site disposal • Disposal outlets • Monitoring and auditing program • e.g. trip-ticket system etc. • Organisation structure for waste management 26

  27. Site Practice for Waste Reduction • Construction material management • On site waste sorting • Reuse and recycle • Final disposal 27

  28. Construction material management • Order the right amount of raw material at the right time • Store material in allocated area with suitable protective measures • Collect the exact amount of materials and return the surplus to stock • Maximise the utilisation of materials • Avoid unnecessary use and cutting • Consider offcuts for sections when small lengths are required 28

  29. Sort and segregate inert and non-inert materials Sort and segregate materials such as paper, plastic, timber, metals, masonry, concrete and excavated spoil On site waste sorting 29

  30. Balance cut and fill in site Reuse items such as hoardings, formworks, scaffoldings and trench support Reuse debris, rubble, sand, rock, concrete, tile and brick for backfilling Recycle the following materials: paper, paperboard, packaging material, plastics, timber, metals, concrete, rocks & sand. Reuse and recycle 30

  31. Reuse public fill at public filling areas for reclamation Dispose of non-recyclable C&D waste at landfills Adopt trip-ticket system to avoid fly-tipping and to ensure waste is disposed of properly. Final Disposal 31

  32. Technical Support from EPD • The Recycling Hotline Tel: 2755 2750 • Website: http://www.info.gov.hk/epd/waste/cdm • Statistics on waste recycling • Lists of local recyclable material collectors and recyclers • Information leaflets and guidance materials • videos, posters and leaflet etc. 32
