Construction and demolition materials recycled, donated, or otherwise recovered:
Construction and demolition materials landfilled or incinerated:
Percentage of construction and demolition materials diverted from the landfill or incinerator through recycling, donation and/or other forms of recovery:
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:
Stanford sends all mixed construction and demolition debris to a local construction and demolition recycling facility. Stanford sends source-separated boxes of concrete to the same facility. All construction contractors must use the campus' contracted hauling service, which greatly simplifies and streamlines Stanford's monitoring and record keeping.
Additionally, Stanford provides many (but not all) waste services to the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, which is generally excluded from the overarching STARS boundary since Stanford does not have operational control over the facility. Estimates of the waste volumes at the facility have been included in this credit. Waste services (excluding Hazardous Waste) are the only service provided by Stanford to SLAC, so this Waste Minimization and Waste C&D credits are the only credits where this facility is considered.
