The different types of wastes need to be h<strong>and</strong>led as pertheir needs <strong>and</strong> regulatory requirements. It is not possible to dispose off all type of wastes ontothe l<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> has to be dealt with depending upon their type <strong>and</strong> characteristics. <strong>Building</strong><strong>construction</strong> leads to generation of s<strong>and</strong>, gravel, concrete, stone, bricks, wood, metal, glass,polythene sheets plastic, paper etc. as waste.Type of wastes, which are generated, can be classified into four categories.1. Construction or demolition waste, i.e., massive <strong>and</strong> inert waste2. Municipal waste, i.e., biodegradable <strong>and</strong> recyclable waste3. Hazardous waste,4. E-wasteThe waste characterization in <strong>construction</strong>al stage should be estimated by reviewing other similaralready existing projects <strong>and</strong> given in tabular form. Similarly wastes generated in operationalphase should be estimated <strong>and</strong> classified asAdministrative Staff College of India, Hyderabad23
