Metech Consulting provides comprehensive waste classification and management services tailored specifically to developers, contractors, builders, consultants, property owners and local Councils. Our experienced team ensures all waste classifications are prepared in accordance with the NSW EPA Waste Classification Guidelines, helping you achieve seamless project delivery and regulatory compliance.
All wastes generated by construction and property development works must be classified to enable the waste to be accepted to a waste management facility for disposal, reuse or recycling. Metech Consulting will ensure that the waste classification assessment classifies the waste at the lowest possible classification to minimise costs. We also have significant experience in developing waste management strategies to provide options on alternative, cost effective alternatives to waste disposal – such as waste minimisation and on and offsite reuse and recycling.
Metech Consulting offers structured, certified services covering a range of waste classification and management disciplines:
Waste classification involves categorising waste materials according to NSW EPA guidelines, primarily into one of four categories:
The waste classification of a material dicates the management requirements to dispose of the waste, as well as the disposal cost.
Site-specific waste management strategies are designed to lower the waste classification to minimise disposal costs.
Developers, builders, contractors, consultants and property owners require these reports to meet council DA and NSW EPA compliance to enab;le waste materials to be disposed to landfill.
Metech Consulting typically delivers waste classification reports with a fast turnaround timeframe, usually within 2-3 days, but we have the resources and capabilities to provide waste classification reports with 24 hrs of engagement in help minimise project delays.
VENM (Virgin Excavated Natural Material) originate from a property with no history of contaminating land use materials and represent natural soil and rock materials that have not been subject to past disturbance of processing.
ENM (Excavated Natural Material) are low-risk, uncontaminated natural soil or rock materials, but which may have been subject past disturbance, with an allowance for a small quantity of foreign materials. The material can either be classified as ENM in-situ or ex-situ (stockpile).
Certification of a material as either VENM or ENM enables the materials to be reused on or offsite, or disposed to landfill at cost-effective rates that are exempt from the NSW waste levy.
