On an annual basis, verify that your system for collecting used batteries is clearly communicated to building occupants, janitorial staff, and waste haulers; that collection points are easily accessible; and that the collection procedure is well-documented to inform new tenants or occupants.
Develop a plan for diverting all dry-cell batteries in conjunction with MRp2: Solid Waste Management Policy. This includes all alkaline and rechargeable batteries, as well as used batteries for cell phones and PDAs.

Ask haulers to collect waste and recyclable materials on an “as needed” basis to save on hauling costs.

Use the Solid Waste Management Tracking Sheet to track monthly recycling rates—see the Documentation Toolkit. This worksheet may be used to track recycling rates internally, but be sure to transfer the data to the LEED Online credit form before submitting
Use the Solid Waste Management Tracking Sheet to track monthly recycling rates—see the Documentation Toolkit. This worksheet may be used to track recycling rates internally, but be sure to transfer the data to the LEED Online credit form before submitting your LEED application. LEEDuser offers tracking sheets to track the waste streams for MRc7, MRc8 and MRc9 separately.
You will need to implement and maintain a data tracking system to document compliance with this credit. Buildings often lack existing systems with which to track waste streams or use tracking systems that don’t record the specific data required by LEED-EB
You will need to implement and maintain a data tracking system to document compliance with this credit. Buildings often lack existing systems with which to track waste streams or use tracking systems that don’t record the specific data required by LEED-EBOM . If your hauler doesn’t provide you with pickup receipts, request the data on a regular basis and keep track in a spreadsheet or other database tool.
Haulers seldom weigh loads upon pickup. If your hauler can’t provide receipts with waste amounts by weight, try to work with them to develop a process for taking more accurate volume measurements that are based on more sound methods than visual estimation

You can track waste streams by weight or volume, although weight is considered more accurate. When containers are measured by volume, they are often estimated visually as “half full”, “three-quarters full” or “full.” The hauler will then approximate the amount of waste based on the volume of the empty dumpster or receptacle. This method can be highly inaccurate, especially if the waste materials are big empty containers that take up a lot of space in the receptacle.
Establish a method for tracking both ongoing consumables sent to the landfill and those that are diverted through recycling, reuse, or other methods.
