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:
During the deconstruction of Hyer Hall, glass from the window panes was removed and donated to the UW for use in a glass furnace. The trash shoot system components were salvaged and turned over to the UW for future use. Salvage and recycling was accomplished during the demolition process. Concrete from walls, floors, sidewalks and
foundations was separated and removed for recycling. This material was separated for use as base or fill. Asphalt
materials were removed and recycled at an asphalt plant. Brick was separated for future used as fill. Metals from electrical, ductwork, piping windows and building materials were separated and placed in the metal salvage/recycle container. Carpet was removed prior to demolition and would be reused as recycled content with carpet manufacturers. Remaining tree stumps/roots were removed and hauled to a landscaping outfit to be shredded for wood chips or mulch.
The UWSP Waste Education Center was chosen as a Top Project for 2011 by the Associated Builders and Contractors Assn. The project had a 96.42% diversion rate. WasteCap Resource Solutions was the tool used fo document demolition debris.
