I'm working on a CI project where the tenant is planning to run a zero-waste office space. A local recycle/compost/trash hauler (Eco-Cycle) offers this service. They even take hard to recycle items such as plastic bags, etc. Does this seem like something that could pass as an ID credit? I was thinking of modeling it off our existing solid waste management plan. Any tips, etc? Thanks!

You might want to look at LEED EBOM MRc7 Solid waste management - ongoing consumables, for its requirements. For more definite answer, you might want to submit LEED Interpretation/

Thanks Jim. We do a lot of EBOM projects, so I was planning on basing this zero-waste plan off our MRc7 waste management plan. The bigger question was if this stands a chance of achieving an ID credit and what tips, if any, folks had for increasing our chances. Thanks!
