Dear all,
I have a construction project whereby Reinforcing steel bar and structural steel members will be fabricated outside the project site (in the Vendor's yard).
Do we need to require information from the vendor regarding waste management of the scrap material produced off-site, or is the CWMP concerned with waste that is directly produced on the project site?
Many thanks!

George, for purposes of MRc2, the credit requires only diverting and tracking waste from the project site itself. You asked about your Construction Waste Management Plan, which does not have to address waste produced off-site, however, if your company wants to encourage responsible waste management from your vendors beyond the credit requirements, you can voluntarily opt to include it in your CWM plan. Just be sure any off-site waste figures are not factored into your LEED credit form tabulations.
