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

This credit focuses on how much waste material leaving the site is diverted from LANFILL. My question is as follows: If I am manufacturing wood offsite, and bringing the wood directly to the construction site, do I have to take into account the waste that was being produced offsite? There is definitely waste being generated onsite & We are certainty taking into account the waste being produced onsite. But, What about the waste offsite? LEED doesn't state nor specify recycling or diverting offsite waste from landfill. Can someone please confirm?

Ethen - This credit only deals with on-site generated waste. So to answer your first question - no - you do not have to take into account the waste that is being produced offsite.
