A SWMP is a document that outlines how construction waste will be managed on a project. It includes forecasts, handling procedures, and tracking of waste streams. While no longer mandatory in England, many local authorities still require them for planning.
A MMP is used to demonstrate that excavated materials are being reused in accordance with the CL:AIRE Definition of Waste Code of Practice. It helps avoid the need for environmental permits when materials are reused appropriately.
Yes. All waste must be classified to determine whether it is hazardous or non-hazardous. This affects how it is stored, transported, and managed.
Yes, but only if it meets certain criteria. You may need an MMP, a permit exemption, or an end-of-waste determination depending on the material and its intended use.
Misclassification can lead to fines, enforcement action, and increased management costs. It may also invalidate your Duty of Care documentation and affect your planning compliance.
