Writes for facilities managers or those similarly employed. Provides a Standard Specification for waste management services in conjunction with a Guide to best waste management practice. The Guide is intended to help facilities managers identify waste disposal requirements, make informed choices about the method of disposal required, and implement any internal systems required to enable such methods to be employed. The Specification for Waste Management Services covers both internal management of waste,showing how to start a waste minimisation programme, as well as the appointment of external contractors to collect and dispose of waste. It is also intended to provide an initial performance requirement to form the basis of a quotation, which could become a schedule of contract if this were felt to be mutually beneficial. States the Specification and Guidance documents apply to all sizes of site, and even to entire organisations operating over a number of sites.
