[0] 2 [Description] The design/build contractor implemented a written Construction Waste Management Plan to effectively and economically collect, segregate, and dispose of all construction wastes and debris generated in the construction of the project. Concentrated efforts were made to avoid contamination and maximize the recyclability and salvageability of materials on site. Records were maintained to track progress and verify the quantity of materials handled on a monthly basis. The goal was to recycle 75% (by weight) of total construction waste. Recycling requirements were included in all subcontract agreements. The commitment by the entire construction team – the prime contractor and subcontractors, the local waste hauler, the construction manager, and the Government – resulted in an overall recycling rate of 80%. A total of over 20 million pounds of waste was diverted from landfills.
