FAQs about MRc6 :

Can the waste audit include a sample selection of waste generated at the project building (i.e. waste from the first floor only)?

Does food waste need to be sorted through?

If a tenant in the project building pays a paper shredding company to shred and dispose of confidential documents, does the shredded paper waste need to be accounted for in the waste audit?

A project building conducted a waste audit over two years ago. Can the project team use that waste audit to comply with the requirements of MRc6?

I know I read about a company doing this, but I can not seem to find who it was, or how it was done. Can anyone out there help me find this article, or know of it? It is a way to pressure the shipping companies to "Think Green", by making any shipping materials that will hurt the diversion rates be returned to the sender.

Hi Kimberlee, I know that most UPS locations recycle peanuts and possibly bubble wrap. I don't know about the company or article you're trying to locate though.
