SWMP

Whether you’re new to site management or have been in the game for a while, it’s handy to know about the rules and regs concerning Site Waste Management Plans (SWMP’s).

They’ve been a legal requirement since 6th April 2008 on all UK projects valued at £300K (Exc. VAT) or more, with additional requirements in place for projects with a value of £500K (Exc. VAT) or more.

Site Waste Management Plans have been introduced to make the responsible management of waste more important to both construction and demolition sites with a focus on promoting environmental sustainability. The SWMP regulations place the responsibility for the production of the plan with the client; who must produce it before the project is started. This is an important point to remember as there are fines in place for clients and principle contractors that start a project without a Site Waste Management Plan.
