JOBSITE CLEANLINESS As mentioned before, one of the many ways a Construction Manager can be “Century Proud” is by ensuring their community is clean and clear of trash, debris, excess materials, weeds and unnecessary stockpiles. Also, our Master Subcontractor Agreements (MSAs) require our Trades to clean up after themselves every day. Depending what region you build in, there may be municipal requirements which dictate how you set up your waste disposal solutions in your communities.

Possible Solutions

Pros

Cons

One Dumpster Per Lot

Trade Partners/Suppliers do not have to walk a far distance to each dumpster.

Some municipalities will not allow trash to be hauled off weekly. Trash must be placed in larger “roll-off” bins before getting hauled off by an approved company (i.e. Waste Management). Tend to be filled by Homeowners. Cost prohibitive. In California, it is a SWPPP violation due to the possibility of liquids leaking out. OSB bins can have 3-4 sides but no bottom. These bins are used to pile trash in a designated area. These bins are not allowed to be picked up by any type of equipment. Personnel/Trade Partners/Suppliers must dispose of waste to a dumpster/bin.

OSB Bins

Cost effective, and simple to build. Each lot can have its own OSB bin, thereby promoting jobsite cleanliness.

Smaller Pre-manufactured Bins

Can be easily emptied with a rotator attachment on the front of a Bobcat. A trash service can visit a neighborhood more frequently due to less manual labor associated with emptying a pre-manufactured bin. Will not damage concrete and will prevent liquids from seeping out of the trash container and onto new concrete or dirt.

Must be frequently emptied during the framing and mechanical stages.

Street Sweeps

Keeps roads clean. Promotes effective SWPPP.

If done too frequently, costs will add up and exceed budget.
