Optional Fields
NSCC is committed to minimizing construction waste and optimizing opportunities for recycling.
Prior to large renovations and new builds, contractors shall provide an Environmental Plan for waste reduction for review by NSCC. This plan shall include, but is not limited to the proposed approach for applying the principles of reduction, re-use, and recycling in managing construction waste. Our most recent major construction project was a new trades wing built for our Pictou campus. This building was LEED Gold certified and the contractor was required by LEED v4 standards to document all waste and state the amount of construction and demolition waste that was recycled or reused and thus diverted from the landfill. In this project, 99% of construction and demolition waste (by weight) was diverted from landfill.
