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?

Salvaging Furniture

For a project I am working on, we are demolishing classrooms with built-in furniture. I know the furniture will be warehoused by the educational institution, and I believe the furniture will be used elsewhere (e.g. not on our project). If I apply this salvage as diversion from landfill under this credit, does it kick in the requirement to track furniture in credits 3-7? I assume if we re-use the furniture under MRc3, we need to apply furniture across the boards in MRc3-7. Is that correct?

Jonathan, I think it is safe do as you plan for this credit. I believe that "built-ins" do not fall under the furniture category anyway, as they are usally assembled on-site and are not movable.If you reuse these built-ins for MRc3, unless they are then movable furniture, I don't think you'll kick in the furniture across credits requirment.Anyone else have experience with this?
