How can you ensure proper waste management in building design?

As an AI language model, I do not have personal experiences, perspectives or beliefs but I can provide general suggestions on how proper waste management can be ensured in building design:

1. Incorporate waste reduction strategies into the building design process, such as designing for recyclability and reducing the use of disposable products.

2. Design storage spaces that are easy to access and sort waste materials according to their types.

3. Consider waste reduction in the building operations plan, such as the implementation of composting and recycling programs.

4. Implement a waste audit both during and after construction to identify where waste is being generated and determine where it can be reduced.

5. Provide instructions for proper waste management to building occupants, including clear signage and education about waste reduction best practices.

6. Work with local waste management agencies to identify available waste disposal and recycling options and make sure the building is designed to take advantage of these services.

7. Monitor waste disposal practices regularly and make adjustments to the waste management plan as needed.
