FAQs about MRc2 :

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

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?

Hello, I'm currently working on a project where we are building a new dormitory. When the new dorm is up and running the existing dorm down the road will be demolished. Do I need to include that is the construction waste management plan? I do believe the plan is to bulldoze it after the building has been abated.

Faith - No - you do not need to include it in your plan as it is outside of the LEED Project Boundary. That said, the green building best practice would be to deconstruct it and reuse or recycle materials from the building instead of bulldozing it.
