This study investigates the impact of construction firms' waste management practices. It focuses on Triacta Nigeria Ltd in Bauchi. The study utilised a survey research design and collected data from 84 permanent staff members to understand their perceptions and experiences related to waste management practices. The findings reveal that significant types of construction waste generated include demolition materials, excavated earth, and unused materials. While certain recycling techniques exist, their efficiency varies, emphasising the need for improved policy enforcement, trash segregation procedures, and staff training. Key challenges identified include resistance to change, logistical complexities, inadequate infrastructure, and high costs, all of which hinder effective recycling adoption. Based on these findings, the study recommends improving policy implementation, enhancing training programmes, and investing in infrastructure to optimize waste management and promote organisational sustainability. This study offers important insights for stakeholders aiming to improve construction waste management practices.
