Most of the waste generated by the entertainment industry comes from set construction and demolition. While there have been amazing gains in minimizing waste from sets, it's still the area with the greatest opportunity for improvement.It's also the area that is most regulated from an environmental standpoint, so it's not just a matter of "doing good." It's a good idea to contact the city’s Department of the Environment, just to make sure everything you're doing complies with various environmental laws. Every step of the way, there are things you can do to be earth-friendly.

A good propmaster or set dresser makes a location look real – or unreal, if that's what it calls for. A really good one wastes nothing, and has a chance to make a statement for the environment almost every day. Learn how to be a really good propmaster or set dresser!
Wood
Avoid using tropical hardwoods that are harvested from rainforests. A number of affordable alternatives are available
Metal
Use steel scaffolding instead of building wood scaffolding. Steel scaffolding is flexible, easily stored and reused, and is becoming quite popular.
Paint
Try and source paints that have been reformulated to eliminate the compounds that evaporate and contribute to smog. Use non-water-based paint for applications where no alternative has been found should be minimized. Spray painting is subject to a lot of regulation for health and environmental reasons, so be sure you know what you're doing.
If you have paint left over, DON'T throw it in the trash. It's considered hazardous waste, and has to be handled separately. The best thing to do is to donate it.
SAASP can organise for leftover paint to be used for graffiti removal in the areas where you shoot.
