This concise guide from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Research Center, available free from their website, describes how to responsibly and cost-effectively manage residential construction waste. It takes the reader through a step-by-step process of developing and then carrying out a waste-management plan. Throughout the booklet are interesting statistics on the typical make-up of job-site waste (percentages of different materials) and typical costs of waste hauling, along with profiles of how various home building companies have been handling wastes. A useful appendix is provided as well.
