Material End Markets

Well established markets for traditional materials

Recyclable materials list will grow to over 25 by 2004

Increase in number of haulers willing to travel to distant markets

Source separation is usually the least cost option versus commingled

Barriers and Solutions

Recycling delays the job cycle Not because of labor. Workers train

easily and learn quickly. Waste Miser Training / Signage.

Not because of service. Hauling recyclables is the same as hauling waste.

Define hauling protocols and contingencies early on.

Barriers and Solutions

No room on site to recycle Not with the proper scheduling and

containers. Recycling services can be coordinated with construction schedule, and properly sized containers can be matched to job segments Evaluate space restrictions and

job time lines, and match equipment and services.

Barriers and Solutions Contractors are reluctant to recycle:

Too costly Not in most cases. For economic reasons

many contractors already recycle job site materials. Contractors do not like to be “forced” to recycle, or to have recycling added on after bid award. Establish a recycling policy upfront

and involve the institution and contractors in the benefits.

Barriers and Solutions

We have no RFP of contract language for C&D recycling

RFP language is becoming widely available from multiple sources, including CMRA, IRN, and others Obtain RFP language and

make a standard part of institution construction or renovation contracts

Your providers should “partner” with you for the following services:

RFP and contract developmentPre-bid and pre-job planning, on-site coordination and troubleshooting, dedicated logistics

Job site training and signageComplete accountability and reporting for all discarded materials

Ask Your Service Provider for similar standards of quality:

Complete accountability We track every pound of material

managed through our services

We report on activity weekly or monthly

We audit each end site for permits and compliance

We don’t play pricing games
