Waste Policy
As a market leader in the design and construction of reinforced concrete P.C Harrington Contractors Limited recognises the importance of effective waste management in minimising the environmental impacts of our work.
PCH is committed to moving beyond legal compliance and has adopted the waste hierarchy at the heart of its waste policy. PCH will endeavour to meet the aims of the hierarchy through careful planning, monitoring and review.
Initiatives implemented by the company to promote sustainable waste management
practices include:
- Endeavouring to order materials in the required quantities
- Training employees to handle and store materials to prevent damage and loss
- The roofing of bunded areas to prevent the creation of hazardous liquid waste
- The minimisation of disposable packaging for internal deliveries
- The re-use of surplus materials on and off site
- The avoidance of landfill disposal for reusable soils and aggregate
- The use of colour coded waste segregation posters and labels as promoted by DEFRA
- The sending of all non-hazardous construction waste (excluding soil and aggregate) to transfer stations
- The provision of waste related training to site staff
- Recycling of office waste streams
This policy is subject to continuous monitoring and review to ensure continued improvement in our working practices.
This policy is actively promoted within the company and is freely available to all interested external parties.
We personally subscribe to this policy and we task all P.C Harrington employees to
contribute to its implementation and ongoing success.
