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?

NC-2009 MRc2:Construction Waste Management

Project is 1 building, waste is from 3 buildings

I have a building located in a campus. Only the office tower is undergoing LEED certification but all 3 area being built concurrently. Basement is shared but clearly demarcated to each building, buildings have separate owners. I recently discovered that all the waste for the site is being calculated, not just the waste from the office tower. I suspect this credit will be approved, since the methodology of collection is OK, but I just want to see if anyone has had experience submitting waste additional to the project building.

Melissa - While it is laudable that you are hopefully diverting a lot of the waste from the landfill for all three projects, the total waste does not reflect your LEED project's waste alone. See my response (http://www.leeduser.com/credit/NC-2009/MRc2?all-comments=true#comment-57828) under the heading Construction Waste Management-Multiple Buildings below for a similar post on this subject.

I should have updated this: our LEED reviewers agreed with you. They required us to separate out the waste for this project only and not to use a pro-rata method. Thanks!
