Credit 3 - Waste Management

Intent

Reduce waste generation to a level below the industry norm.

Requirements

Prerequisites

  • 3.1 Construction Waste Management Planning.

We will meet this by:

  • Investigating and documenting local options for diversion (e.g. recycling, reuse) of all anticipated major constituents of the project waste stream, including cardboard packaging and household recyclables (e.g., beverage containers). 
  • Documenting the diversion rate for construction waste. Recording the diversion rate for land clearing and/or demolition, if applicable (e.g., on gut rehab project), separately from the rate for the new construction phase of the project.

Credits

  • 3.2 Construction Waste Reduction (maximum 3 points).

We plan on 3 points by reducing and diverting waste generated from new construction activities from landfills and incinerators to a level below the industry norm.
