construction companies studied, only four have the management plan of them to comply with
the legislation. The generation of waste varies according to the size of the work and the
capacity to reuse them. In general, all the builders generate several types of waste without
their works, according to the results, wood is the most reused type of waste, with a reuse rate
of 83%, ceramic obtained 66% and concrete 50%. As for the factors that make it difficult to
manage waste within the work, the construction companies cited the storage location and the
employees' awareness, as main factors, with which we can see a deficiency in the
management of this waste. Based on the data found, the research reinforces the need to adopt
measures to improve the management of construction waste.
