Requirements for LEED MRc5 in v4 and v4.1

Develop and implement a construction and demolition waste management plan and achieve points through waste prevention and/or diversion.

Waste Management Plan and Report: All projects must develop and implement a construction and demolition waste management plan:

  • Identify strategies to reduce the generation of waste during project design and construction.
  • Establish waste diversion goals for the project by identifying the materials (both structural and nonstructural) targeted for diversion.
  • Describe the diversion strategies planned for the project. Describe where materials will be taken including expected diversion rates for each material.

Having a good construction waste management plan is the first step towards earning LEED MRc5 Construction Waste Management in LEED v4.1. First of all, it is required for the pre-requisite under MRp2 to have a construction waste management plan. If you need a construction waste management plan template, you can download our template here. You have to have a plan that identifies what waste is going to be generated for the project, and what means will be implemented to divert from landfills. You need to identify at least 5 different materials in your plan, even if you only need 3 in implementation to earn the points.
