Our LEED project is a Commercial Interior that is in a new building that is still under construction. Do I have to have separate dumpsters for waste from the infill or can I include waste for the building too?

Loretta - While it would be best practice to recycle the waste from the entire building, including that waste in your LEED calculations would skew your project's actual totals. In similar situations, I've had a separate dumpster for the LEED project. While these items related to earlier versions of LEED, I think they are still relevant and might assist you: https://leeduser.buildinggreen.com/forum/project-1-building-waste-3-buildings, https://leeduser.buildinggreen.com/forum/construction-waste-management-multiple-buildings for additional information, and https://leeduser.buildinggreen.com/credit/NC-2009/MRc2#tab-faq.
