The contractor is the project team member who should be integrated early into the design phase to

assist with earning the Materials and Resources Prerequisite, Construction and Demolition Waste

Management Planning. The contractor is responsible for implementing the waste management plan,

which includes estimating the types and quantities of waste materials, identifying the diversion

strategies, selecting the waste haulers and recyclers, tracking and documenting the waste diversion

performance, and training the subcontractors and workers. The contractor can provide valuable input

on how to reduce, reuse, and recycle the construction and demolition waste, as well as identify

potential challenges and opportunities for achieving the prerequisite requirements.
