FAQs about MRc2 :

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?

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"?

Anyone have any brilliant ideas on what to do with drywall (sheetrock) waste from a major renovation project that we are trying to divert from a landfill but don't have a recycling center within 5 states? Thanks in advance! Mark

Mark, if the drywall is clean (big if) then it could possibly be a beneficial agricultural amendment. There might be a large producer of compost in the region (such as a company that process municipal waste, or sewage sludge) that could grind it an incorporate it into their product.
