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

Construction Waste on a phased project

I was brought on to help finalize templates for a LEED submission. The project was started with Phase 1 - 7 years ago. Phase 1 was Site and Foundations. The job than went on hold and started phase 2 - a couple years ago. The phase 2 was documented well with waste tickets, recycling, etc. and would achieve 91% diverted, but I have no documentation for phase 1. IS there any way to calculate an assumed weight or anything that would help achieve this credit?

Faith - I have not seen where that type of assumed weight has been used. Here's what I would do. Contact the GC/subcontractor who did Phase I and try to get any info you can to make your case (all waste records, hauler, extent of waste hauled, etc.). Then use Special Circumstances on form to explain the situation - project on hold, 7 years, first phase was site and foundation, etc. Say that you are happy to receive 2 points under MRc2 (75% diversion) based on your 91% diversion. Good luck!
