With regard to good operative procedures when carrying out on-site recycling operations, a distinction must be made between those concerning the recycling itself and those involving the use of specific equipment. All of them are listed in the following table:
GOOD OPERATIVE PROCEDURES |
Recycling tasks | - Sort different waste materials
|
- Use deposit spots in appropriate sizes to facilitate waste segregation and locate these spots close to working areas
|
- Clearly label deposit spots on-site to promote effective segregation
|
- Labels should contain images or materials icons
|
- Train operators on practical ways to manage and handle materials to maximise their recycling potential.
|
- Keep hazardous wastes out of mixed waste skips.
|
- Implement good housekeeping throughout the site to promote good waste segregation and reuse opportunities.
|
- Specify the materials that can be recycled on-site.
|
- Keep materials for recycling clean, dry and separate from other materials or waste.
|
Use of recycling equipment | - Establish exclusion zones.
|
- Only allow trained and experienced personnel to manage the recycling equipment.
|
