There are two qnswers to this, both linked by the terms of the contract: - If the project is of a value to come under the needs of a Site Waste Managment Plan (SWMP) the swmp shoul set out the waste disposal process. - Under the current regulations the creator of the waste is the client and ultimatly no matter what agreements are in place if a contractor disposes of waste in a way that is a brach of legislation the client as well as the contractor would be held liable. I would in the first instance refer to the contract of works that the contractor has with the client. I have done it both ways in the past, we have supplied skips to be used for segragation and the contractor has provided them. Its a donw to negoitation Im afraid! Hope this helps

Hi, I'd have a look at Environment Agency website. Steve

Thanks everyone.

Chris Irrespective of SWMPR or CDM [notifiable or otherwise] enviromental law applies and the principals are still in place The CDMC has nothing to do with SWMPR - The role is not mentioned in the law but the PC's role is [many H&S professionals are letting CDMC's take over SWMPR as they did with CDM] I am not getting at any competent CDMC's. However the word 'competent' must apply to anybody appointed to manage/create SWMP's on behalf of the client and to date most of the SWMP's that I have looked at are not, in my personal opinion, adequate management systems
