Hi all,
I am working on an interior renovation for a buidling that was built in 1907. All the walls are made up of lath and plaster and are going to be demo'd and replaced with new studs and drywall. I would like to know what our options are with this material for reporting to the USGBC (Can this material be recycled, reused, etc.).
Thank you,
Chase Scott

Chase, with regards to USGBC and LEED, throwing this material in the landfill will count against you for MRc2. So you may want to look into diversion options, but that will depend on your local market as far as contractors and services that are available. I would be pessimistic about the chances of old plaster and lath being divertable from the landfill, but I could be wrong... anyone have experience with this?
