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:
At UNC, any contractor working on either a renovation project or a new building must submit a Solid Waste Management Plan, as well as monthly reports that track recycled, salvaged, and landfilled items. Cardboard, clean wood, crates, scrap metal, and pallets are banned from Orange County landfills. Concrete block is also recycled.
The Office of Waste Reduction and Recycling collaborates with UNC’s Historically Underutilized Businesses Office on an education and outreach program called “Getting the Green Edge.” This program helps familiarize contractors with UNC and county-wide recycling policies and connects contractors with recycling firms.
C&D numbers do not include C&D recycling volumes from large capital projects. The data reported is for small, in-house jobs only.
