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-Concrete Not Poured from Truck and Returned to Batch Plant

Is our leftover concrete, not poured from the truck and returned to the batch plant, counted as diverted from landfills per MR2 if we can provide documentation that it is reused by the batch plant in some way? I see in FAQ's: Can materials that have been unused and returned to the manufacturer as part of a “take-back” program contribute to the credit? Yes, materials that would otherwise be waste, but that are diverted from the landfill to be salvaged or reused can contribute to MRc2.

Gregg - I would say no. The unused concrete material never really made it to the jobsite - unlike the unused material you note in the FAQ. If anyone else has a different opinion or experience with this, please chime in.

Thank you for the response Michelle. I had discussed this with a LEED consultant who we do some work with and this was their take on the idea as well. Therefore, I won't recommend our teams track that material for MRc2.
