In general, the country where I am pursuing a LEED for Schools cert. has little to no experience separating waste beyond two groups: steel and mixed construction waste. We have found some innovative ways to contribute to the emerging, but still undeveloped recycling system. Buildings and homes in the country are often heated with bio-fuels, such as wood. In our case the contractor heats their storage facility primarily using excess wood from its projects. The credit, however, specifically states incineration is not acceptable, but it seems logical that wood as a heating source would be acceptable. I would think this would require a narrative as a minimal step, but has anyone ever tried submitting for this credit in a similar way and if so, what was the outcome? Any pertinent recommendations on this particular challenge, as the only other option in the country would be to pay someone to take the wood (that's just the way it works here) and then to buy wood for heating, which in comparison isn't as sustainable from any perspective?
