For new construction, Mines’ targets US Green Building Council LEED Silver certification, which requires recycling of construction waste. Many of our new buildings have their construction waste recycled through 5280 to meet LEED standards for construction waste recycling (see https://5280recycle.com/). In addition, our regular waste hauler, Republic Services, also recycles construction waste.
