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"?

NC-2009 MRc2:Construction Waste Management

MRc2

Hi! We have a building in the process of certification which changed its initial contractor to another company. So, we were planning to add an adjunct to our Construction and Waste Management plan claryfiying the change from one to another and assuming that this second one will continue with the adminitration and responsability of achiving the plan´s objectives. Do you think this is enough to explained what happened? Does anyone have some sample on a similar case? Or can give me some futher suggestion? 

Thank you a lot!

maybe document any training on the C&D Waste mgt. plan given to the new contractor and includes the Subs  and add that to the end of the C&D plan as an appendix, etc.

I would agree with Debra's approach.  Training on the plan should be provided for all personnel on the construction site, and certainly if another contractor was brought in to take over.  Alternatively, I would create a new/revised plan specific to the new contractor and make sure you coordinate with them on their process, in case any of it might differ or need to be tailored more specifically to their process over the previous contractor. Make sure any changes/modifications from the original plan (assuming some or all of the subs remained on the project) are properly communicated to personnel on site.

We found it helpful to provide on-site labeling in both english & spanish. This same idea can apply to any written info given out.
