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?

We have always conducted waste audits using weight. We are seeking a more efficient means to calculating waste and recycling; is measuring the volume more efficient?

In our experience volume is more advantageous because recyclable materials tend to be lighter and more voluminous.
