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"?

Thanks Charles - I agree. I would encourage all LEEDusers, especially guests, to remember to check other LEED 2009 forums (especially New Construction, which has a large forum) to see if similar questions have been asked/answered. For instance, Ali, see the May 2010 thread on "house hold rubbish" aka food waste (Is "house hold" rubbish considered as construction waste?) - http://www.leeduser.com/credit/NC-2009/MRc2?all-comments=true#comment-2849.

Good advice Michelle! I would also encourage anyone who asks a question in these forums, and then finds the answer somewhere else, to come back and share the information. We're all in this together! )
