dc.description.abstractSeveral millions of tonnes of waste are generated in the construction industry annually. This rate is alarming because it is in multiples of household waste production. Construction industry gives less concern to waste reduction due to the complex nature of reuse and recycling which is a top priority in curbing waste generation. Effective implementation of waste management plan (WMP) is a major means of reducing waste on construction projects. A waste management plan represent waste issues on the map and identification of existing waste problems is of top priority; it then pinpoint the volume of waste for reduction, salvage, reuse or recycling. This study focuses on the use of waste management plan at construction sites in Nigeria. A survey was conducted on a sample of construction companies in Nigeria using convenience-sampling technique. In the paper, the most important factors that underlie effective implementation of WMP is staff training and it reveals ten items that should form the content of a good WMP. The paper suggests that practitioners should be cognizant of the factors discover in this research for implementing WMP and to ensure that WMP consist all the contents identified in the study to reduce waste on construction projects.
