Form Created By: 439 MSG/CEV Environmental Office

TOTAL COST FOR CONSTRUCTION/DEMO DEBRIS LANDFILLED THIS QUARTER:

ACTUAL COST OF DEBRIS DIVERTED (from landfill) THIS QUARTER: $

*** If answer (cost to perform recycling/salvage/reuse/donation associated with the effort to minimize landfilling) is ZERO, then answer the following question.

POTENTIAL COST OF DEBRIS DIVERTED (from landfill) THIS QUARTER:

When cost (to salvage/recycle) is offset by proceeds/rebates/savings to the point of there being zero dollars paid out, then contractor still must provide an estimated “cost avoidance” value. This means contractor must at least roughly estimate the POTENTIAL cost of recycling (i.e., transportation, handling, collection, manpower, fees, taxes, permits, tariffs, collection containers lease/purchase, etc.).
