Less encouragement from related agencies is the only issue that has the mean response of importance.
The ranking is then followed by issues of lack of construction waste management technology, costs of
managing construction waste and no commitment from the organization, with the mean responses ranging
from moderately important to important. This finding supports the study done by Begum et. al. (2006)
that the average maximum willingness to pay to improve construction waste collection and disposal
services is higher for large contractors as compared to the medium and small contractors. This finding is
very critical because most contractors in Malaysia are medium and small class ones. Contractors need to
change their attitude in order to achieve our country’s project goals and reduce construction site waste.
