Short description: This exemption allows the use of suitable wastes for small scale construction instead of using virgin raw materials. Construction for the purposes of this activity means 'the carrying on of any building or engineering work which includes the repair, alteration, maintenance or improvement of an existing work and preparatory or landscaping works'. Land reclamation is only permissable under this exemption when it is part of a construction activity.
