LEED Recycling
This is the most common association with LEED recycling. To earn Materials and Resources (MR) credits, project teams must significantly reduce, recover, and recycle waste rather than sending it to landfills.
-
Diversion Targets: Projects must meet strict percentage thresholds (e.g., diverting 50% to 75% or more of construction waste).
-
Source Separation: Separating recyclables directly on the jobsite (e.g., having distinct bins for drywall, metal, and wood) is heavily incentivized and required for maximum points.
-
Commingled Recycling: Mixed waste is allowed, but it usually counts for less diversion value than source-separated materials.
-
Tracking and Reporting: A critical component of LEED recycling is meticulous bookkeeping. Contractors and building managers must submit detailed monthly reports, receipts, and photographic evidence from waste haulers to prove that the materials were actually recycled.
