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:
Facilities Services manages all recycling for construction projects. General contractors hired for small scale, less than $500K projects, don’t include waste hauler info or recycling in their scope of work. Regardless of the size of project, sustainability practices are followed and all waste operations are executed in the spirit of the college design guidelines. This can be interpreted to mean that for new projects the goal is to include a minimum of 50% of waste is diverted to a recycling center. Many space renovations at Colorado College are historic buildings where waste includes hazardous materials including asbestos and lead. Renovation projects focus to reuse or recycle structural walls, ceilings, and flooring except when it is not structurally possible or the materials are determined to pose a health risk to contractors and building occupants.
