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?

CS-2009 MRc2:Construction Waste Management

Tons vs Yards

My waste hauler has given receipts in both tons and yards. I am using tons for the credit, is there some conversion factor I can use? The receipts in question are for landfill and wood. Thanks.

The Reference Guide has Solid Waste Conversion Factors listed in Table 2 on page 360 of the first edition. Wood's density is listed at 300 lbs/cy. I would use mixed waste conversion of 350 lbs/cy for landfilled material.
