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:
As part of all of our LEED building projects, which are 100% of new buildings, there is a goal of reaching at least 75% of construction waste recycling. This expectation is communicated at the beginning of every building project. On almost every building we have far surpassed that percentage and contractors know that it is something that is important to us.
UCCS is currently working to establish guidelines for construction waste recycling on small projects that are not LEED to make sure that we recycle that waste as well.
