In our latest review we were told that landscape waste is not to be included in the calculations for this credit. This appears to be inconsistent with your opening guidelines.

Must I continue to audit if 50% is reached during PP

Our building did divert 50% of ongoing consumables during out last LEED EBOM certification in 2010. We did perform a waste audit at that time so we acquired MRc6.

Has anyone been successful at or read any LEED Interpretations/ Updates that allow single-use batteries to be exempt from the battery portion of this credit?

Batteries - annual actual diversion performance verification

Does anybody have a practicle way in which they "verify" their performance for Battery diversions? In the EU it is law to seperately dispose of batteries.

We are about to enter into the performance period and have doubts about achieving this credit. Our government agency shares waste and recycling collection containers with an adjacent building.
