1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This policy is a necessary requirement to ensure Arethusaneng Holdings fulfils its
moral and legal duties for safe, compliant, environmentally, and financially
sustainable Waste Management.
This policy provides guidance to all staff and defines responsibilities in all aspects
of Waste Management with clear standards for appropriate waste segregation,
storage, handling, transport, and disposal.

2. INTRODUCTION
Waste Management is the generic term given to the whole spectrum of activities
associated with waste, namely, its generation, segregation, storage, handling and
transportation from point of source (ward/department) to final place of disposal
(recycling/landfill/incinerator).
This policy details Arethusaneng Holdings arrangements, including
responsibilities, for the classification, segregation, collection, storage, handling,
transportation, and disposal of all waste produced as a result of Arethusaneng
Holdings activities.

3. SCOPE
This policy applies to all services directly provided by Arethusaneng Holdings and
all staff should familiarise themselves with the policy.
This policy encompasses the activities and responsibilities of all Arethusaneng
Holdings staff, including client’s premises when applicable
This policy applies also to all sub-contractors who are engaged by Arethusaneng
Holdings undertake work on their behalf

4. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

This policy has been prepared with the objectives of:

 Ensuring full legislative compliance for Waste Management activities at

Arethusaneng Holdings at all time, and when possible lead on best
practice.
 Reducing and mitigating the Health & Safety, Fire Safety and Infection
Control risks associated with Waste Management activities at
Arethusaneng Holdings.
 Reducing and mitigating the environmental impacts associated with Waste
Management activities at Arethusaneng Holdings.
 Ensuring robust controls and assurances are in place for all Waste
Management activities at Arethusaneng Holdings.

5. IMPACTS AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT

Health & Safety and Fire Safety
Arethusaneng Holdings recognises the Health & Safety and Fire Safety risks
associated with Waste Management.

Page 3 of 16
Manual handling
The improper manual handling of waste presents a risk to Arethusaneng Holdings
staff and contractors.

Aircon
Group is committed to minimise and mitigate these risks as far as practically
reasonable. This includes the conduct of risk assessments when new waste
management equipment or practices are introduced.
Falls and trips
The inappropriate storage of waste can create falls and trips hazards. Refer to the
STORAGE OF WASTE section for appropriate waste storage protocols.
Fire safety
The inappropriate storage of waste can create fire hazards or impact fire
evacuation procedures. Refer to the STORAGE OF WASTE section for
appropriate waste storage protocols.
Infection Control
It is important to adopt appropriate handling and storage protocols which
minimise the Infection Control risks associated with infectious waste. Refer to the
STORAGE OF WASTE section for appropriate waste storage protocols.
Environmental impacts
Disposing of waste has very significant environmental impacts.

 Throwing away things is a waste of resources. It wastes the raw materials

and energy used in making the items and contributes to global resources
depletion.
 Landfilling waste generates methane gas, which is explosive and
contributes significantly to Climate Change.
 Leachate produced as waste decomposes in landfill causes land or water
pollution.
 Incinerating waste produces toxic substances, such as dioxins which have
an effect on local air quality.
 Gases from incineration cause air pollution and contribute to acid rain,
while the ash from incinerators may contain heavy metals and other toxins.
 Transporting waste is very carbon intensive, contributes to Climate Change
and has an effect on air quality.
Environmental Policy statement
As stated in the Arethusaneng Holdings Environmental Management
Policy, it is the policy of Arethusaneng Holdings to:

 Use the waste hierarchy at all time.

 Aim for “zero landfill”.

Page 4 of 16
  Use local waste management treatment and disposal solutions when
possible.
 Monitor, report and set targets on our management of domestic and
commercial waste.
 Minimise the creation of waste.
 Ensuring we have robust systems for recycling wherever possible.
Waste Hierarchy
The waste hierarchy is a classification of preferred waste management options in
order of their environmental impact.

“Zero-landfill”
Practice wherein wastes are reused; recycled or undergo alternative treatment
processes with the aim of avoiding the use of landfills for disposal. This is
particularly relevant for the residual fraction of domestic waste (General waste,
i.e. black bags).
Different types of waste attract different disposal price rates and as a result good
waste segregation generates substantial costs-savings.

8.DUTY OF CARE
As a producer of waste, the Arethusaneng Holdings has a legal ‘Duty of Care’ to
make sure its waste is handled safely and only passed to people authorised to
receive it.
For any waste removed from Arethusaneng Holdings premises, the designated
waste contractor will have to supply a Waste Transfer Note (WTN) for controlled
waste, and a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note (HWCN) for hazardous waste.
No waste may leave the Arethusaneng Holdings without a Waste
Transfer Note or Hazardous Waste Consignment Note.
Waste Transfer Notes (Controlled waste)
Before any Controlled waste leaves the Arethusaneng Holdings a Waste Transfer
Note (WTN) (Appendix A) must be produced ensuring all the required
information is put onto the form. The form must be signed by an authorised
Arethusaneng Holdings officer and be given to the waste carrier when they come
to collect the waste. For regular collections, an annual waste transfer note can be
set up in advance of the first collection. Waste transfer notes must be retained for
two years following the disposal of the waste.

Landfill Tax
This is a tax on the disposal of waste. It aims to encourage waste producers to
produce less waste, recover more value from waste and to use more
environmentally friendly methods of waste disposal.
Waste Management Licensing Regulations
The Site Waste Management Plans Regulations
A site waste management plan (SWMP) is created to enable businesses to plan and
strategize how any waste from the site will be managed or disposed of. They must
be produced at the start of the project and monitored throughout (Appendix C).
SWMPs may cover:
 Decisions regarding which waste management Arethusaneng Holdings will
collect and dispose of their site waste.
 Which types of waste are likely to be generated from the construction site:
Scrap metals, electric equipment, papers/boxes and domestic waste
 The volume of waste likely to be generated throughout the project: 10 kg
 Which techniques will be used to manage which types of waste: recycled,
reused or reduced.
 Who will be the responsible persons regarding waste disposal: Everyone will
be responsible for waste management and dispose into Smart Access
Electrical vehicle
Site waste management plans used to be compulsory by law for builds worth over
£300,000, under the Site Waste Management Plans Regulations (2008), but their
compulsory nature was repealed in 2013. Despite this, it is highly recommended for
all project managers to produce this planning document – this is for several reasons:

 Saves you money- plan how you will manage waste and resources and
efficiently control the storage and use of all resources and produced waste.
This will also allow you to devise new ways of cutting costs.
 Protects the environment- reduce waste, recycle where possible and reduce
the risk your waste poses to the local, and wider, environment.
 Strengthens your reputation and business prospects: An SWMP will boost
your profile and enhance your reputation, helping you secure more tenders
in the future.
The Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011
This regulation provides the requirements for using the waste hierarchy. The waste
hierarchy is a classification of waste management options in order of their
environmental impact, such as: reduction, reuse, recycling and recovery.
Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005
Hazardous waste is essentially waste that contains hazardous properties which if
mismanaged has the potential to cause greater harm to the environment and

11
human health than non-hazardous waste. As a result, strict controls apply from the
point of its production, to its movement, management, and recovery or disposal.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive aim to reduce the
quantity of waste from electrical and electronic equipment and increase its re-use,
recovery, and recycling.
Landfill directive
This directive aims to prevent or reduce as far as possible negative effects on the
environment from the landfilling of waste, by introducing stringent technical
requirements for waste and landfills and setting targets for the reduction of
biodegradable municipal waste going to landfill.
Batteries directive
This directive aims to improve the environmental performance of batteries and
minimise the impact waste batteries have on the environment by banning the
disposal of batteries in landfill or by incineration.
Carriage of Dangerous Goods (CDG) Regulations
The CDG Regulations are the UK’s transposition of the EU ADR 2009 Regulations
 Correctly classify the waste.
 Package the waste according to specific standards.
 Label the waste correctly.
 Provide the collector with a consignor’s declaration Under the CDG and as a
consignor of hazardous waste, the Arethusaneng Holdings may require an
annual Dangerous Goods Safety report.

10. WASTE GENERATED BY ARETHUSANENG HOLDINGS

Arethusaneng Holdings produces a wide variety of waste streams.
Domestic Wastes
This category covers all the wastes which could typically be produced in a
domestic / household setting such as general (black bag) waste, dry mixed
recycling, bulky items, etc.
Hazardous Wastes

11. WASTE GENERATED BY OTHER ORGANISATIONS

Contractors working for the Arethusaneng Holdings

12
All contractors employed or working on behalf of Arethusaneng Holdings will make
the necessary arrangements to comply with this policy
Waste carriers and contractors are required to follow on site rules for vehicle
parking, loading/unloading, security and speed limits whilst on either the
Arethusaneng Holdings premise or that of their clients.

12. SEGREGATION OF WASTE

Waste segregation policy
Waste segregation in line with this policy is not optional but MANDATORY.
Domestic waste segregation – Recycling scheme

 Arethusaneng Holdings are gradually phasing in the provision of recycling

facilities (i.e. bins) throughout the company. Departments which have not
been supplied with recycling facilities do not need to separate dry mixed
recyclables (in clear bags) until supplied with the facilities to do so.
 When recycling facilities are deployed to an area, different communication
channels will be used to make staff aware of the new segregation procedure.
Every effort will be made to adapt to local circumstances but there are no
requirements for Arethusaneng Holdings to formerly consult with the area
staff prior to roll-out.
 Once supplied, full segregation of dry mixed recyclables by all staff at all
time.

13. STORAGE OF WASTE

Waste bins

 The Waste Manager has final authority on the chosen type and model of
recycling waste bin supplied when recycling is introduced to any area. The
type and model of recycling waste bins supplied by Arethusaneng Holdings
are the default option throughout the business for all areas.
Choosing waste containers and bags
Subject to securing the relevant and appropriate assurances, the Waste Manager
has final authority on the type of waste containers and bags used by the company,
to ensure containers and bags are compatible with the Arethusaneng Holdings
policy and procedures, internal transport arrangements and our nominated waste
contractors
Purchasing of waste containers and bags

 Bags for domestic (black) and recycling (clear) waste are purchased and
supplied by the Waste Manager.
 Confidential waste bags are supplied by the Waste manager through our
nominated confidential waste contractor.
Internal storage

13
Domestic wastes may under no circumstances be mixed in storage areas.

 Waste must not accumulate in corridors, lobbies, or other unsuitable places.

 Waste must not under any circumstances obstruct access routes, fire escape
routes or fire doors.
 Waste items must not be placed in areas that are likely to cause a tripping
hazard.
 Waste containers, waste cupboards and waste bins must be kept shut and
locked when not in use to prevent unauthorised access or access to waste by
vermin.
External storage (Warehouse)

 Waste must not be stored loose in any external areas – See fly-tipping section
14 below.
 Waste wheelie bins or any other containers must be kept shut and locked
when not in use to prevent unauthorised access or access to waste by
vermin.
Spills
 It is the responsibility of all staff within their work area, to be aware of any
procedure regarding ‘Spillage’ of substance in their area of work, if
applicable. To know where the spill kit is located and what course of action is
required to clean up the spillage.
 Further guidance on chemicals can be found in SDS
 Any materials used in the containment and absorption of spills should be
treated for disposal as the material spilled. For instance, contaminated
materials used to clean chemical spills should be disposed as chemical waste
cytotoxic/cytostatic medicines spills should be disposed as
cytotoxic/cytostatic waste.

14. FLY TIPPING (Warehouse)

It is the responsibility of Department producing the waste to ensure a suitable waste
disposal route is identified in line with this policy and associated procedures. Any
waste left unattended in internal areas or on grounds with no arrangements for
disposal will be considered fly-tipping.
Fly-tipping of waste will not be tolerated and all occurrences will be fully
investigated.

15. DISPOSAL TO DRAINS AND SEWERS

Under no circumstances can any discharges to sewers other than domestic
sewage be made.

14
Currently Arethusaneng Holdings it is not permitted to discharge anything to sewer
other than the above. Any uncontrolled releases to sewers put us in breach of the
Trade Effluent Regulations (Water Industry Act 2003) and expose us to prosecution
from the regulatory body (for Rotherham and Thornaby sites this is Yorkshire and
Northumbria Water respectively). Should a spill occur which results in chemicals,
oils and other toxic materials to be released to drains or sewers, contact the Waste
Manager immediately.

16. AUDITING
It is the responsibility of the Waste Manager to conduct a monitoring and auditing
programme for all areas for waste management to ensure the correct
implementation of this policy.
The monitoring and auditing programme will follow a pro-format audit schedule with
a wide scope ranging from adequate waste segregation, staff awareness of
operational procedures for waste management, through to opportunities for waste
minimisation.
Departments Managers will have full responsibility for addressing any negative
audit findings and taking adequate corrective actions.

17. TRAINING AND AWARENESS-RAISING

This Waste Management Policy does not have a mandatory training requirement,
but the following non-mandatory training will be available:

 Waste management training will be available, undertaking the training will be

risk driven should an area display poor practice or understanding of waste
segregation
 Waste management awareness will be actively promoted through a number
of communication channels.

18. REVIEW AND REVISION ARRANGEMENTS

The Waste Manager will be responsible for reviewing and revising as appropriate
this Policy no later than 3 years after its publication. Should legislation or any other
changes of circumstances arise; this Policy will be updated accordingly prior to the 3
year’s timeframe.
For the successful implementation of this policy, the Waste Manager will monitor
performance herein.
