FAQs about MRc2 :

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"?

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

NC-2009 MRc2:Construction Waste Management

Temporary construction material left on-site.

Should MRc2 include temporary construction materials that are left on-site. In particular, it is common for a crane-base, or temporary concrete dead-men or casting beds to be left on-site. In some cases the material would be crushed and used as aggregate on-site and in other cases, such as with the crane base, it would simply be left as-is? Our thought is to count it as diversion if it is "processed" for re-use, and not count it if it is simply left untouched. Any other thoughts?

Keith, I would say that if it's simply left on the building site, then it's part of the building and is neither wasted nor diverted.If it is crushed and diverted than I would consider it under this credit as diverted.Seems like a common-sense approach, but there might be other ways.
