1. Introduction The Institution Recycling Network 7 South State Street Concord, NH 03301 866-229-1962 www.ir-network.com John Gundling, CWM Specialist

2. The IRN… A membership recycling organization serving: Hospitals Colleges & Universities Nursing Homes Preparatory Schools Other Institutions

3. The IRN… What We Do For Our Members: 60+ Commodity Marketing Programs Group Purchase Opportunities Transportation and Hauling Consolidated Reporting, Recordkeeping, and Accounting Vendor Qualification Information and Information-Sharing

4. OVERVIEW OF CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT Recoverable materials Material end markets Costs of recycling versus disposal Barriers and solutions IRN services: Job Site Waste Manager and/or Hauling/Recycling

5. Recoverable Materials Asphalt Shingles Brick & Block Bathroom Fixtures Carpets Ceiling Tiles Concrete Clean Wood Commercial Roofing Doors Furniture & Mattresses Glass Metals Mixed Debris Office Fixtures Sheetrock Treated Wood Windows Wiring & Cable

6. Recycling Works…Again Concrete & Masonry St. Paul’s School Before Aggregate for Roads and Sidewalks St. Paul’s School After

8. And Again… Gypsum Wallboard Cambridge City Hall Annex Before Gypsum Wallboard Cambridge City Hall Annex After

9. And Again… Old Ceiling Tiles Dartmouth College Become New Ceiling Tiles Old Window Glass Northeastern University Becomes New Window Glass or Aggregate for Paving

10. Material End Markets Well established markets for traditional materials Recyclable materials list will grow to over 25 by 2004 Increase in number of haulers willing to travel to distant markets Source separation is usually the least cost option versus commingled

11. Costs: Recycling vs. Disposal

12. Barriers and Solutions Recycling delays the job cycle Not because of labor. Workers train easily and learn quickly. Waste Miser Training / Signage. Not because of service. Hauling recyclables is the same as hauling waste. Define hauling protocols and contingencies early on.

13. Barriers and Solutions No room on site to recycle Not with the proper scheduling and containers. Recycling services can be coordinated with construction schedule, and properly sized containers can be matched to job segments Evaluate space restrictions and job time lines, and match equipment and services.

14. Barriers and Solutions Contractors are reluctant to recycle: Too costly Not in most cases. For economic reasons many contractors already recycle job site materials. Contractors do not like to be “forced” to recycle, or to have recycling added on after bid award. Establish a recycling policy upfront and involve the institution and contractors in the benefits.

15. Barriers and Solutions We have no RFP of contract language for C&D recycling RFP language is becoming widely available from multiple sources, including CMRA, IRN, and others Obtain RFP language and make a standard part of institution construction or renovation contracts

16. Your providers should “partner” with you for the following services: RFP and contract development Pre-bid and pre-job planning, on- site coordination and troubleshooting, dedicated logistics Job site training and signage Complete accountability and reporting for all discarded materials

17. Ask Your Service Provider for similar standards of quality: Complete accountability We track every pound of material managed through our services We report on activity weekly or monthly We audit each end site for permits and compliance We don’t play pricing games

18. WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNING NEW CONSTRUCTION Evaluation Goals (LEED, reuse, recycling targets, public relations) Schedule Building (construction, materials) Site (location, size, operations/logistics constraints) Develop Draft Waste Management Plan – Construction Materials (quantities, ease of separation, markets, value) Markets (location, materials handled, environmental and regulatory audit, etc.) Operations / Logistics (schedule, space constraints, site restrictions, matching containers to materials recycled, etc.) Construction with Fully Integrated Recycling Site work (trees/brush, asphalt, etc.) Foundation (ABC, steel, wood) Exterior framing and sheathing (wood, metals, ABC) Interior framing (wood, metal) Utilities (metals from HVAC, wiring, plumbing) Wallboard Ceilings and flooring (suspended ceilings, metals) Architectural elements, windows, trim, etc. (wood, metals) Roofing (membrane, shingles, metal, slate Contractor and subcontractor crews and equipment on site Materials separated for recycling (some recycled as mixed debris) Tracking / Recordkeeping Develop Final Waste Management Plan – Construction Document recovery of architectural salvage (types, quantities, markets) Document recovery of high-value commodities (types, quantities, markets) Document recovery of demolition materials (types, quantities, markets) Calculate recycling rate Complete documentation of demolition phase (e.g., for LEED certification) Materials to Markets Material Tracking Information Training Communications Troubleshooting Containers In / Out Materials to Markets

19. WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNING DEMOLITION Evaluation Goals (LEED, reuse, recycling targets, public relations) Schedule Building (construction, age, value elements) Site (location, size, operations/logistics constraints) Develop Draft Waste Management Plan – Demolition Materials Markets Operations / Logistics Harvest” High Value Furnishings and Architectural Salvage Furnishings and Equipment (e.g., kitchens, cabinetry) Architectural salvage (e.g., flooring, windows, doors, molding, hearths, stonework) Harvest High Value Commodities Windows (aluminum, steel frames) Wiring HVAC Plumbing Suspended ceilings Crew(s) on Site Containers In / Out Materials to Markets Tracking / Recordkeeping Crew(s) on Site Containers In / Out Materials to Markets Tracking / Recordkeeping Demolition with Commodity Recovery Structural members (e.g., wood beams) Asphalt, Brick, Concrete (ABC) Roofing materials (slate, metal, shingles, membrane materials) Metal (ferrous, nonferrous, or mixed) Wood Mixed waste Demo crew/equip’t on site Containers In / Out Materials to Markets Tracking / Recordkeeping Develop Final Waste Management Plan – Demolition Document recovery of architectural salvage (types, quantities, markets) Document recovery of high-value commodities (types, quantities, markets) Document recovery of demolition materials (types, quantities, markets) Calculate recycling rate Complete documentation of demolition phase (e.g., for LEED certification) Materials to Market Material Tracking Information

20. COMPREHENSIVE JOBSITE RECYCLING TRAINING WASTE MISER TRAINING VIDEO CONTAINER SIGNS RECYCLING HANDOUTS HARD HAT DECALS TEE-SHIRTS

21. Hauling/Recycling Services Standards Of Quality Services Standard roll-off containers, special covered and/or locking containers Job-site and container signage Dedicated logistics and hauling for the length of the job cycle Single-source service for 20+ materials

22. Demolition Example: St. Paul’s School, Concord, NH Recycling Results 1623 tons of materials reused,recycled 94.5% recycling rate Cost Avoidance 73% savings, recycling vs. disposal

23. Demolition Example: Harvard University, Recycling Results 1623 tons of materials reused,recycled 95.1% recycling rate Cost Avoidance 37% savings, recycling vs. disposal
