FAQs about MRc2 :

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

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?

NC-2009 MRc2:Construction Waste Management

Wood Palettes

On my project, the subcontractors are responsible for reusing wood palettes and, if applicable, selling them back to the manufacturer. Is there a way to record this?

I think it would be by the standard procedure, quantity and either by weight or volume.

I have a project where the GC's superintendent has taken for his own use the wood pallets for materials delivered to the project site. I am assuming that this action would count as the pallets being salvaged and therefore diverted from the landfill and would help me with my Construction Waste Mangagement calculations, right?

Tim – I think so. The pallets are being diverted. I would suggest getting a letter from the GC stating that he has taken possession of the pallets for his own use as backup – in case there is any question from GBCI.
