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:
As a part of requiring all new construction to achieve LEED-Silver certification at minimum, we emphasize our expectation in all new building projects for the recycling of construction and demolition waste to exceed 75%.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
This data includes C&D totals from the following projects: Baker College Addition, BRC, Brockman Hall, Duncan College, Gibbs Recreation and Wellness Center, McMurtry College, OEDK, Rice Children's Campus, and the Will Rice College addition. This total excludes the Rice Village Apartments (where 77.5% of the C&D waste was recycled) because that is outside the project boundary for this report.
