Abstract
A case study is presented of a waste management system for a construction project in Brisbane. The study incorporates the assessment of the current on-site waste management operations plan, a financial feasibility providing a comparison between traditional waste disposal methods, waste disposal methods as adopted on this site, and proposed environmental ideal waste management methods. The results indicate that the total cost of waste handling and disposal for the project was approximately the same as for traditional methods. For an idealized system of total waste management, there would have been an increase of cost of 66% over the traditional method. It is also shown that the waste separation system was not realized to its fullest potential, mainly due to difficult site conditions and the subcontractor's unfamiliarity with a Waste Management Scheme and that it is likely that improvement in these areas would require better control and planning of waste handling.
