A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
AU uses construction and demolition (C&D) debris recycling facilities certified by the Recycling Certification Institute in order to verify the recovery and recycling rates reported by haulers subcontracted by general contractors. News media outlets have reported possibly fraudulent C&D recycling reports, so third party monitoring and verification of C&D recycling represents an important step forward in ensuring the veracity of construction waste recycling claims.
