FAQs about MRc2 :

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?

Can materials that have been unused and returned to the manufacturer as part of a “take-back” program contribute to the credit?

Hi all, I am working on an interior renovation for a buidling that was built in 1907. All the walls are made up of lath and plaster and are going to be demo'd and replaced with new studs and drywall. I would like to know what our options are with this material for reporting to the USGBC (Can this material be recycled, reused, etc.). Thank you, Chase Scott

Chase, with regards to USGBC and LEED, throwing this material in the landfill will count against you for MRc2. So you may want to look into diversion options, but that will depend on your local market as far as contractors and services that are available. I would be pessimistic about the chances of old plaster and lath being divertable from the landfill, but I could be wrong... anyone have experience with this?
