Optional Fields
At UMass Amherst, the bulk of building material waste is generated by larger building projects which have been awarded to outside contractors. In these projects the outside contractors are responsible for the disposal of all construction and demolition material.
The UMass Green Building Guidelines state:
Construction Waste Management
Recycling is a high priority on campus. However, waste produced by construction activities is not sorted on campus, rather, it is the responsibility of the contractor to properly dispose of construction and demo waste.
It is the University’s position that, due to the location of the campus and the availability of local waste contractors who can recycle and track construction waste, a minimum target of 75% should be met by all project teams.
