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:
For each of our four LEED (Gold) certified buildings, the contractors diverted over 75% of the construction and demolition waste from landfills or incineration. GW requires all new construction and major renovation projects to divert a minimum of 75% of all construction waste.
As part of GW's Ecosystems Enhancement Strategy, the university works with Campus Development and Procurement to ensure that guidelines for responsible disposal of construction debris are clearly highlighted in contracts with vendors.
