General Refuse. 4.6.6 General refuse should be stored in enclosed bins or compaction units separate from C&D material. A licensed waste collector should be employed by the contractor to remove general refuse from the site, separately from C&D material. Effective collection and storage methods (including enclosed and covered area) of site wastes would be required to prevent waste materials from being blown around by wind, wastewater discharge by flushing or leaching into the marine environment, or creating odour nuisance or pest and vermin problem.
General Refuse. 4.7.1 Measures to be implemented to encourage general waste avoidance / minimization include: • Reducing the number of photocopies to a minimum and copying on both sides of paper for internal documents and external documents where appropriate. • Preventing over-ordering of office equipment and consumables. • Procuring energy efficient office equipment and consumables. • Deploying and servicing recycling containers on site to facilitate collection of recyclables (e.g. aluminum cans, plastic bottles). • Deploying containers with covers onsite to facilitate the collection of non-recyclables for disposal at landfills.
General Refuse. 5.19 Waste generated in offices should be reduced through segregation and collection of recyclables. To promote the recycling of wastes such as used paper, aluminium cans and plastic bottles, it is recommended that recycling bins should be clearly labelled and placed at locations with easy access. For the collection of recyclable materials, they should be collected by licensed collectors.
General Refuse. The workforce would generate refuse comprising food scraps, waste paper, empty containers, etc. Such refuse will be properly collected on-site and transfer to the nearby refuse collection point. Disposal of refuse at sites other than approved waste transfer or disposal facilities will be prohibited. Effective collection of site wastes will prevent waste materials being blown around by wind, or creating an odour nuisance or pest and vermin problem. Waste storage areas will be well maintained and cleaned regularly. The maximum number of construction workers to be employed is estimated to be about 80 workers. Based on a generation rate of 0.65kg per worker per day, the maximum daily arising of general refuse during the construction period would be approximately 52kg and this waste can be effectively controlled by normal measures. With the implementation of good waste management practices at the site, adverse environmental impacts are not expected to arise from the storage, handling and transportation of workforce wastes. With the implementation of the mitigation measures during the construction phase of the Project, no significant waste management impacts are anticipated. The implementation of the mitigation measures shall be included to the works contracts. Regular site inspections are recommended during construction to ensure the measures are implemented properly.
General Refuse. General refuse should be stored in enclosed bins or compaction units separate from C&D material. A reputable waste collector should be employed by the contractor to remove general refuse from the site, separately from C&D material. An enclosed and covered area is preferred to reduce the occurrence of 'wind blown' light material.
General Refuse. 5.8.1 General refuse generated on-site should be stored in enclosed bins or compaction units separate from construction and chemical wastes. A reputable waste collector should be employed by the Contractor to remove general refuse from the site, separately from construction and chemical wastes, on a daily or every second day basis to minimize odour, pest and litter impacts. The burning of refuse on construction sites is prohibited by law.
General Refuse. General refuse should be stored in enclosed bins or compaction units separate from C&D material. A reputable waste collector should be employed by the contractor to remove general refuse from the site, separately from C&D material. Preferably an enclosed and covered area should be provided to reduce the occurrence of 'wind blown' light material.
