It is required to document "rate of diversion". Does this mean that they must track the total quantity of waste being sent to the landfill and the total quantity of waste being diverted? If so, it should say this more directly. Some people read this as they only need to track the amount of waste they are recycling. Also, if they aren\'t going for any points, how accurate does this tracking need to be? Do we fail a home if the numbers are approximate?
The rate of diversion refers to the percentage of total construction waste that is diverted. In order to do this calculation, the total amount of construction waste and total amount of waste diverted from landfill must be documented. Approximations are acceptable.
