What is a waste management plan?
A waste management plan is a strategy for how an organisation will deal with all the waste it produces. It outlines the types and amount of waste created and the processes to store and dispose of them safely, legally, and efficiently. This includes information about who is responsible for removing waste from the business.
There are many considerations involved in dealing with commercial waste. An effective waste management plan covers everything, from what containers are used to store waste and where they’re placed, to how often these bins are emptied. The best waste management plans focus on reducing waste and avoiding overflowing bins through effective management.
A waste management plan should include the:
- Types of waste produced
- Volumes of waste created
- Bin types and sizes for storage
- Frequency of collection for all bins
- Responsibility for removing waste
- Costs of waste management (bin hire, waste removal)

Waste management plan FAQs
-
How can I make a waste management plan?
To make a waste management plan for your business:
- Estimate the types and amount of waste you create every day, week, and month.
- Work out how to separate and store waste efficiently. For example, do you need individual paper and cardboard bins, or could you use a dry mixed recycling bin?
- Determine the best types and sizes of bins to store your waste and where to place them on your premises.
- Arrange waste collections on an effective frequency so they’re removed when nearly full but never overflow.

Alternatively, use expert help such as Business Waste to audit your operations and build an effective waste management plan tailored to your needs.

Is a site waste management plan a legal requirement?
A site waste management plan is a legal requirement for certain sites within the construction industry only. This is for health and safety reasons. For most other industries and businesses there are no legal requirements for a waste management plan. However, only licensed waste carriers can legally transport commercial waste.
