- Land clearing debris and topsoil
- Wood and paper products (e.g. packaging materials, cardboard and pallets)
2. Expected types, quantities, processing or disposal facilities, locations of receptacles and proper handling for recyclable (or reusable) materials generated from mobile office (e.g. job trailer, site office) activities and personal worker (household) waste such as (but not limited to):
- Paper, copier paper, paper products
