FAQs about MRc3 :

Can I include reused furniture?

A material being reused contains recycled content. Can I count this under MRc3 and MRc4?

We are reusing a lot of equipment from another building. Can we count that?

We are demolishing an existing building, crushing the concrete and stone, and using it as fill onsite. Does this count under MRc3?

Our project has access to building materials that were delivered for another project, and never used because that project was canceled. If we use these materials can we count them here?

Can crushed concrete, masonry or asphalt being reused onsite qualify as materials reuse?

NC-2009 MRc3:Materials Reuse

Salvaged granite block

Hi I am working on a project where 83.75 tons of granite slabs were removed from a site during site clean-up for the new bilding being built. It was re-purposed to a granite walkway on the site, which is a new parks facility along the Hudson in NYC. Would this fall under materials reuse or would it possibly fall into CWM, MRc2? If the block hadn't been re-purposed on site, it would have been hauled off site, diverted from a landfill and thus would have applied to the CWM credit. I am not sure where to apply it as it almost seems like it could be either and the line seems very vague between (at least to me...).

I believe you can count it toward both MRc2 and MRc3 so long as they were not originally used as a granite walkway. Read above under "Piggybacking credits". Because it was repurposed from onsite it seems you can count it for both.
