6 Canadian Waste Non Residen0al Waste (IC&I): Canada Generated Over 15.6 Million Tonnes (2010) Alberta Waste Non Residen0al Waste (IC&I): Alberta Generated Over 2.95 Million Tonnes (2010)

7 Alberta Waste In Alberta, 75% of disposed waste comes from non- residen0al sources. This is higher than all other provinces. In 2006, Sta0s0cs Canada reported Alberta had the highest per capita landfill rates in the country. C&D waste accounts for about 25% of the total amount of municipal solid waste sent to a landfill in Alberta each year It is es0mated that no more than 10% of all C&D waste materials are currently being recycled, even though markets exist to divert much of these materials.

10 What is C&D (Construction & Demolition) Waste? Wood Asphalt Drywall Masonry Concrete Metals Plas0cs Earth Shingles Flooring Insula0on Paper Cardboard Adhesives Paint Solvents Oil & Grease

11 Facts C&D Waste equals up to 35% of total waste stream in Canada Approximately 40% of Canada s resources are consumed by the construc0on industry A 2000 b2 home generates an es0mated 3.6 MT of waste Approximately 75% to 80% of total generated waste is recyclable Source: Canadian Construc0on Associa0on,

14 2007: Too Good to Waste, a roadmap for waste reduc0on and management in the province [Alberta] 2008, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between Alberta Environment, the Alberta Construc0on Associa0on and the Canadian Home Builders Associa0on- Alberta to work together in developing a provincial C&D waste reduc0on program. If all regulatory requirements are approved, the goal for implementa0on is The program would apply to permits issued aber the implementa0on date.

15 C & D waste regula0ons?

16 RESULTS OF WASTE AUDIT STUDY Waste Audit Conducted on 40 yd3 bin of waste for 96,000 b2 project Waste bin was filled in 3 days Waste classified by material type and weighed Weight for each material type calculated for total project (based on assumed 6 month project comple0on) Total Bin weight = 2.78 metric tonnes (MT) Total project waste = 121 metric tonnes (MT)

17 Recyclables identified in waste bin (Extrapolated for 6 month total) Wood (dimensional & OSB/plywood) = 68,200 kg Drywall = 13,000 kg Asphalt Shingles = 11,000 kg Scrap Metal (steel, 0n, aluminum) = 3,700 kg Cardboard = 1,837 kg Glass Bokles = 200 kg Plas0c Beverage Bokles = 180 kg Aluminum Pop Cans = 100 kg Paper = 17 kg

25 Be in compliance with Environment Regula0ons Reduce the waste typically generated on site Increase opera0on efficiency & produc0vity Divert waste from landfill through 3R prac0ces Move towards more sustainable construc0on Balance People, Planet & Profit (Social Responsibility) Responsibility as an owner, employer and contractor to minimize the impact that we have on the natural environment BE PART OF THE SOLUTION, NOT PART OF THE PROBLEM

26 What is a CSWMP? Strategy to encourage minimiza0on of waste genera0on by: Avoidance Reduc0on Reuse Recovery & Recycling

27 What is CSWMP? (Continued) Waste reduc0on techniques including reuse and recycling Procedures and guidelines to minimize waste in all construc0on phases On- site management of waste Assigned responsibili0es for all working on the project Recovery of wastes through on- site source separa0on

28 Key Benefits of a CSWMP Reduces dependence on natural resources Improved building value Improved site efficiency and produc0vity Improved site health and safety Reduced waste genera0on Reduced landfill disposal and expansion
