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:
Current waste stream facilities and staff are utilized to divert furniture and recyclable materials on most projects. Furniture that has reached the end of life is donated/repurposed, disassembled and recycled, etc. Third-party material haulers with high landfill diversion ratios are encouraged when work is contracted.
The University's 2018 STARS C&D report documented a 65.57% recycle rate. Although not in this STARS report, the recycle rate improved to 73.40% in 2018. The 2019 performance year recycle rate has dropped down to 50.19%. This is due to the 6/28/19 - 7/7/19 period when the buildings JP2 and FCR were completely demolished, and the debris trucked off site. Excluding that aspect of the project, the 2019 recycled C&D would have continued to trend up to 73.79%.
