FAQs about MRc2 :

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"?

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?

Hi all, I am working on a project that ended up using 2 separate waste haulers during the time of the project - one for the first half or so, and the second for the remainder of the project. One waste hauler has provided site specific tonnage while the other has provided facility rates. The waste was comingled during both periods. My question is, can we submit a combination of the two? Has anyone been successful with this?

Sara - I've successfully submitted with two construction waste haulers in the past. As long as the material was diverted and you have the necessary backup, I don't see why you should have any problems with this methodology.
