Site Waste Management Plans (SWMP)

What are SWMPs?
Site Waste Management Plans (SWMPs) are a legal requirement in England for all construction projects begun after 6th April 2008 which are worth over £300,000. Even if your project is not large enough to require an SWMP, you could benefit by having one.

A SWMP sets out how resources will be managed and waste controlled at all stages during a construction project.

It covers:

• Who will be responsible for resource management.
• What types of waste will be generated.
• How the waste will be managed – will it be reduced, reused or recycled?
• Which contractors will be used to ensure the waste is correctly recycled or disposed of responsibly and legally.

• How the quantity of waste generated by the project will be measured.

The benefits of using an SWMP are that it:

• Saves time – You can answer queries about your waste from your environmental regulator or local council quickly and easily.
• Helps you avoid prosecution – You can ensure all your waste is disposed of legally.
• Wins new business – You can prove your environmental performance, which can give you an advantage in the tendering process.
• Helps you understand and reduce waste disposal costs – You understand how your waste is managed so you can identify where to save money and reduce costs.
• Enhances your reputation – Your customers can see where you are helping the environment and making cost savings.
• Helps the environment – You will manage materials and waste on-site more responsibly so they are less of a risk to the local environment.

• Improves future projects – When your SWMP is complete you will have useful information for future projects about how you used resources and managed your waste.
