FAQs about MRc2 :

How is construction waste accounted for when utilizing off-site construction, like modular construction or pre-fabrication of assemblies?

How does MRc2 work for projects pursuing a campus approach, or any project where waste management will be shared with other construction projects?

Can materials that have been unused and returned to the manufacturer as part of a “take-back” program contribute to the credit?

Should I include hazardous material such as lead-based paint in MRc2 calculations?

Should household-type trash from workers' lunches and office use be included in MRc2 diversion and calculations?

Can sending material to waste-to-energy plants count toward MRc2?

The requirements of this credit say that land-clearing debris does not contribute to the percentage of materials diverted from the landfill. What exactly is considered "land clearing debris"?

Oops! Our trash was measured by both weight and volume at different times. How do I standardize this?

The waste management facility we are using is providing us with monthly documentation specific to our waste, showing 80% diversion. They also have a published, facility-wide rate of roughly 20%, and they have no published rate for construction waste. Will

NC-2009 MRc2:Construction Waste Management

Asphalt Roll Roof Recycling

I am working on a existing building renovation. The existing roof, which will be demo'd, is asphalt roll with batt insulation underneath. Does anyone know of a company in the southeast US (or anywhere in the US) that will recycle this roofing material? There are numerous asphalt shingle recycling companies, but we have been unsuccessful in finding a place to take the asphalt roll roofing material. This is a large portion of our construction waste at this point and it will hurt our percentages. Thanks!

I was able to find a company that would grind up the roof on site with a brick grinder, but it was going to cost a fortune. Any other options out their? Thanks!

SB, my understanding is that recycling this material requires special grinding equpiment that is not yet in market use. (See the EBN article Better Choices in Low Slope Roofing.) I think if anyone is going to do it, it would be the manufacturer, though.
