WMU Construction Standards require the use of LEED consideration for all projects. As a result, LEED MR Credit 2 for Construction Waste Management, and MR Credit 3 for Materials Reuse are regularly incorporated into every construction and renovation project undertaken involving campus owned assets.
Additionally, University Surplus Sales is used to re-purpose and salvage any viable materials, furniture, or items that could be reused in another project or re-purposed and sold to the general public.
Lastly, all receipts, weight tickets, and other records associated with material hauling off site to landfill or recycling centers are required to be submitted to WMU by the contractor.
