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"?

I have a project that has a lot of brick & concrete demolition. This will be used as "clean fill" at a Metrofill site located somewhere else and not taken to a "landfill". I can't find any articles that specifically address that this weight can be considered as recycled. (We are using weight for calculations) Please direct me to some articles related to this and the interpretation. Thanks,

Joseph - Using masonry as clean fill is a common waste diversion tactic. I would encourage all LEEDusers to remember to check other LEED 2009 forums (especially New Construction, which has a large forum) to see if similar questions have been asked/answered. Go to http://www.leeduser.com/credit/NC-2009/MRc2?all-comments=true and search for clean fill on the page. This is a recent post (September 2013) on the subject of concrete waste - http://www.leeduser.com/credit/NC-2009/MRc2?all-comments=true#comment-43338 - and outlines its use as recycling.
