Construction and Demolition Waste Audit and Waste Reduction Workplan
Construction and Demolition Waste Audit and Reduction Workplan

As the Lead Sustainability/Green Consultant, we planned a significant waste reduction program during a federal government building reconstruction project in Gatineau, Quebec.  Undertaken for Public Works and Government Services Canada, the work promoted a positive, proactive, environmental conscious image for the construction project.

First a waste audit was prepared and completed to achieve a clear and precise understanding of the project.  Based on the information gathered, a work plan was created to assist in achieving waste reduction goals.

The waste audit and work plan identified existing problem areas, identified new opportunities for recycling, assisted in diverting recyclable materials from the waste stream and decreased overall waste management costs.  Legislative requirements were fulfilled.
