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:

UVM has had a C&D waste recycling program since 2007.
UVM has diverted waste from two recent construction projects: The Dudley H. Davis Center and the Given Medical Complex. Materials recycled included: metal, wood, concrete, gypsum, and cardboard. Metal and cardboard materials were sent to All Cycle Waste; wood materials were sent to the McNeil biomass power plant; concrete materials were either crushed on site and used as fill and sub-base for roads or loaded in trucks and sent to Pike Industries for roadway; and gypsum materials were sent to GP Gypsum in Newington, New Hampshire.
