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:
The period covers a pre-pandemic fiscal year ( may 2018- April 19). All construction projects are now requiring from contractors to send all materials to a recycling facility and to provide a proof of disposal. During this period, 3 projects generated an important quantity of waste; exterior walls repairs on two buildings and classroom refurbishing (carpet, upholstery, chairs). Figures are based on the certificate provided by contractors to project managers. Figures also includes all the scrap metal recycled from various project (3,5 tons of chairs and table metal frames, pipes, cables, pumps, motors, etc.).
Contractors are prohibited from using the School landfill containers to dispose of their waste, and must ask permission before installing a container, allowing a control to ensure the construction waste is sent to a proper recycling centre.
Exception includes small projects that do not require waste management (no containers or bins), or project that involved contaminated materials, such as gypsum and carpet contaminated by water and mould in case of flooding , chairs).
Construction waste sent to landfill by school construction staff is estimated at around 2 tons/year.
