Amount of construction and demolition materials recycled, donated, or otherwise recovered :
123,001.87 Tons

Amount of construction and demolition materials landfilled or incinerated :
353,089.16 Tons

A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contribute to the diversion rate for construction and demolition waste:

Since UNLV Planning & Construction did not measure construction waste diverted or generated for all projects delivered in the past 3 years, the amount reported here of construction waste diverted includes only the waste generated by two projects, LEED Silver rated Science and Engineering Building (SEB) and LEED Gold rated Greenspun Hall (GUA).

In reality, total construction waste diverted is likely higher. However, these two projects alone tally up to 46% of the total Gross Square Footage (GSF) delivered to UNLV over this time.
