Notice on Issuing the “Work Plan for Comprehensively Strengthening Construction Waste Management in Putuo District”
To all sub-district offices, town governments, and relevant units:
The “Work Plan for Comprehensively Strengthening Construction Waste Management in Putuo District” was reviewed and approved at the 88th District Government Executive Meeting on July 15, 2025, and is now issued. Please implement it conscientiously.
Work Plan for Comprehensively Strengthening Construction Waste Management in Putuo District
To fully implement the spirit of the “Implementation Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening Construction Waste Management” issued by the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government Office, accelerate the establishment of a closed-loop management system for the entire chain and process of construction waste in the district, improve the supervision mechanism, and enhance the level of construction waste governance, this work plan is formulated in accordance with relevant laws, regulations, and rules, and in combination with the rectification requirements of the Central Ecological and Environmental Protection Inspection.
I. Main Objectives
(1) Achieve a balanced and orderly construction waste disposal system. Promote the balance between production and consumption of construction waste in the district through measures such as backfilling at construction sites, fully exploring disposal sites, and advancing resource utilization.
(2) Achieve a closed-loop management system for the entire chain and process of construction waste. Use information technology and data sharing among construction, management, law enforcement, and other relevant departments to plug management loopholes, fully grasp the flow and direction of construction waste, and effectively improve regulatory efficiency.
(3) Achieve a full-chain law enforcement system for construction waste. Effectively curb various illegal activities related to construction waste by establishing problem investigation and control mechanisms, improving inspection and law enforcement, and strengthening coordination between management and law enforcement.
II. Work Tasks
(1) Build a disposal system that balances production and consumption
1. Promote source reduction. Construction authorities should strengthen guidance to include earthwork disposal balance content in project planning, approval, and design documents. Increase the proportion of backfilling at construction sites by raising elevations and creating landscaped slopes to reduce earthwork transportation and minimize construction waste generation at the source.
2. Enhance disposal capacity. Construction authorities should expand regional earthwork disposal space through urban development, transportation, park city construction, and land comprehensive improvement projects. Urge construction units and transport companies to actively seek disposal sites to achieve disposal balance. Coordinate with municipal authorities for centralized disposal support. Annually assess earthwork disposal needs and potential, form matching plans for major municipal and district projects, and refine monthly earthwork discharge plans for precise coordination with disposal sites. Engineering slurry should be pre-treated on-site through “source drying” and declared for disposal as earthwork.
3. Strengthen resource utilization. Encourage the use of standardized construction waste resource utilization products in government-funded projects. Improve decoration waste management and resource utilization rates. Strengthen on-site sorting management for demolition waste and enhance its resource utilization.
(2) Build a closed-loop management system for the entire chain and process
1. Strengthen filing and declaration management. Construction authorities should supervise construction units to prepare construction waste treatment plans, take pollution prevention measures, file with the district greening and sanitation bureau, and apply for construction waste disposal permits. Projects without earthwork transportation should report zero. Verify declared projects’ full entrustment and discharge direction through data comparison of excavation tasks, cumulative declarations, site backfilling, transport contracts, and disposal volumes. Conduct checks after earthwork extraction to ensure consistency between excavation, declaration, transport, and disposal volumes. Transfer suspected violations to law enforcement authorities.
2. Strengthen source site supervision. Install video surveillance and vehicle license plate recognition equipment at vehicle entrances and exits of construction sites with construction waste movement. Connect video surveillance to municipal information management platforms and vehicle recognition data to smart supervision platforms for digital monitoring. Law enforcement departments should promptly inspect system-alerted anomalies and handle violations. Verify disposal permits during construction quality and safety inspections, and strengthen publicity and supervision of construction waste management. Urge construction units to strictly implement the “two no-dig, two no-entry, two no-exit” rules. Sub-districts should fulfill management and law enforcement responsibilities for construction projects below specified limits, increase grid inspections and law enforcement frequency, and promptly handle violations. Improve decoration waste removal models and efficiency.
3. Strengthen transport and disposal market supervision. Improve the bidding management system for construction waste transport units, strictly vet transport
