.` 2 in a - series of 10 case studies <br />Tidyman's Grocery <br />Spokane, WA <br />How specifications were used to <br />reduce construction waste <br />When the project went out to bid, each subcontractor was required <br />to include a line item for disposal costs. This amount was <br />subtracted from the final bid and an independent waste manager <br />was hired to handle all waste recycling and disposal. The waste <br />managers set up recycling containers and met with subcontractors <br />at their weekly safety meetings to discuss problems and report <br />progress toward recycling goals. The waste manager also posted <br />regular updates on the amount of material recycled so all <br />employees could see the results of their efforts. Waste manage- <br />ment costs were 56% less than they would have been with the <br />original bids. <br />Printed by Triangle J Council of Governments, publishers of WasteSpec: Model <br />Specifications for Construction Waste Reduction, Reuse, and Recycling.
