What are the code’s waste diversion requirements?

Effective January 1, 2017, in all jurisdictions including those without a Construction & Demolition (C&D) ordinance requiring the diversion of 65% of construction waste, the owners/builder of construction projects within the covered occupancies will be required to divert 65% of the construction waste materials generated during the project. The code also allows a disposal reduction option that can be met when the project’s disposal rate is less than 2 pounds per square foot for non-residential and high rise residential or less than 3.4 pounds per square foot for low-rise residential.
