Construction & Demolition
1. Waste & Recycling
Resources
- WasteCap
Wisconsin coordinated a recycling program for the construction
of the Alliant Energy Headquarters that cut costs by 33%
and waste volume by 75%.
- Harley Davidson's Product Development Center in Wauwatosa,
WI used materials with the highest recycled content possible
and manufactured within a 500 mile radius of the site -
all without adding additional costs to the budget.
- WasteCap also helped Harley-Davidson divert 76.4% of the
construction waste generated by the company's expansion
of the company's Product Development Center, which saved
over $10,000 in avoided disposal costs.
- Flad & Associates realized a net savings of $52,579
in avoided disposal costs and money received for recyclable
materials. 72% of the demolition debris was recycled at
their Skokie, IL site.
- Appendix
6 - Construction and Demolition Debris Management
|
Reduce, Reuse and Recycle construction and demolition waste to
protect on-site materials and reduce environmental impacts.
- Reuse existing building shells and components. Salvage materials
for reuse or resale. (LEED™)
- Implement a Construction or Demolition Waste Management Plan
to recycle and/or salvage at least 50% of construction, demolition
and land clearing waste. Include waste reuse and recycling in
project specifications. Calculations can be done by weight or
volume, but must be consistent throughout. This plan should cover
(LEED™):
- Identification of a Plan Manager.
- Identification of opportunities to reduce site disturbance
and minimize environmental impact of construction activities.
- A list of materials to be separated for recovery and designation
of areas for collection.
- A plan to educate workers about separation requirements
- Procedures for waste auditing.
- On-site soils management, including areas of concern, types
of contamination and disposal or encapsulation methods.
- List sorting/separation/tracking rules.
