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?

Separating waste - reuse at household

We have a project where there for example lighting fittings, some doors etc. that would be possible to reuse at other in other buildings. Since this items sometimes might be given away to private Citizens and could be hard to document. How should we handle this? We would say that this is the best type of recyling - direct reuse.

Maria - I agree that reuse is a great way to keep materials out of the landfill. I would create a spreadsheet for backup that documents materials that are given away to individuals and include the date, material description, its estimated weight or volume, and the person's name, address, and telephone number. Or you could also create fill-in-the blank letters to have the individual complete his/her contact information and reused material(s), and then sign/date when they get the material(s) from the project.
