Construction and demolition materials recycled, donated, or otherwise recovered during the most recent year for which data is available within the previous three years:
Construction and demolition materials landfilled or incinerated during the most recent year for which data is available within the previous three years:
Percentage of construction and demolition materials diverted from the landfill or incinerator through recycling, donation and/or other forms of recovery:
A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate for construction and demolition waste:
New buildings or renovations over 2 million dollars are required to achieve LEED Silver status, and typically the university achieves a 90 – 95% diversion percentage for these projects. The University does encourage waste diversion on smaller projects, and while we do not track construction waste from smaller projects it is estimated to achieve a 50 - 75% diversion due to recycling and donation. We utilize local nonprofits such as Construction Junction and Habitat for Humanity’s Recycle to Salvage items on small jobs, such as doors, casework, lights, etc.
