FAQs about MRc2 :

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?

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"?

Wondering if anyone would have a resource for drywall recycling anywhere on the western slope of Colorado. We had a resource lined up but it has fallen through. Thanks!

Hi Bethany – Unfortunately, we do not have a company who is performing drywall recycling on the western slope of Colorado. The closest opportunity that I have heard of – but have not confirmed – is in Albuquerque, NM. In southwestern Colorado, we have relied on the current loophole that hopefully will be closed with LEED 2012’s release of using drywall waste as part of the Alternative Daily Cover at landfills. You might consider checking with your local landfills to see if they have an ADC Permit from the state. For instance, the Montezuma County Landfill in Cortez, CO is still taking ADC.

The exact location of our closest drywall recycling is actually Fairacres, NM – outside of Las Cruces (southern New Mexico). The company’s name is Grind LLC - http://grindlc.com.
