- Designate a leader. either an individual or a team, who will be responsible for educating the crew and subcontractors, setting up the site, cordinating and supervising recycling efforts ro prevent contamination of recycling loads.
- Communicate your plan to the crew and subcontractors on site. They will ened to know how the materials should be seperated and where to put the materials.
- Require subconstractors to us the on-site recycling and disposal bins or require them to recycle their own waste and provide documentation.

- Clearly label the recycling bins and waste containers on site. Benchmark Recycling can provide some of the signs for your convenience.
- Post list of recyclable and non-recyclable materials.
