The reference standard for major capital construction and renovation projects on campus waste diversion is the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) LEED® Canada-NC Reference Manual, current edition. Waste disposal to landfills shall be minimized specifying that at least 50% (75% preferred) of construction, demolition, land clearing and packaging debris be recycled and/or salvaged. Calculations may be done by weight or volume but should be consistent throughout project.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

We currently quantify CRD waste associated with major capital projects, but not with minor capital projects, so the numbers provided reflect performance on major capital projects only. Measures are being implemented to allow us to capture CRD waste associated with a wider range of projects.
