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?

We are shooting for 95% waste diversion on our LEED-CI 2009 project. It is a hospital renovation and the contractor and waste company were thinking of using the demo'd drywall and vct flooring material as Alternative Daily Cover. If we do that would that still count as waste diversion?

I seriously doubt the VCT could be considered for ADC. Have you tried researching take back programs from the flooring and vinyl groups? This would be a more preferable diversion. Check out the other forums for conversations on gyp. bd as ADC.
