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:
Construction on campus is done to a LEED Silver minimum standard, which ensures that waste is tracked and diverted.
Additionally, Smith contracts require the contractor to meet all state and federal building codes requirements when handling waste materials. In the State of Massachusetts, most of the waste stream legally must be recycled- including C&D waste.
Smith's C&D vendor works to prioritize re-use of materials such as cast iron radiators, boilers, plumbing fixtures, cabinetry, mantles and various architectural pieces. Remaining materials are processed for recycling.
