Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The figures above show the C&D waste from one MIT LEED-compliant capital project completed in 2017. Other major renovation and construction projects are currently tracking C&D waste for LEED compliance, but this information is not yet available. The single project reported represents a portion of the C&D waste generated on campus.
The reported project converted a warehouse in building W97 into a theater and arts space. The contractor tracks the C&D quantities by waste stream and disposal destination and reports this information to MIT's Department of Facilities. Facilities enters this information into the LEED C&D Waste Management Calculator.
