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?

CS-2009 MRc2:Construction Waste Management

Plastic chute for debris management

Our project is a 40-story building, and we are having a hard time managing the debris and garbage produced in superior levels, in order to carry it all the way down to street level, so that it can be removed from the site. Provided that the quantity of this waste doesn't have a significant impact on our overall calculations for the credit, is there any LEED restriction preventing us from using a plastic chute, so that everything can be removed more quickly? Thank you all for any help on this.

Antonio - I am not aware of any restriction or problem with using a chute to move the construction waste. As you say, this should not impact the weight or volume of the overall construction debris.
