A. Section includes administrative and procedural requirements for the following:

1. Salvaging non-hazardous construction and/or demolition (“C&D”) waste.

2. Recycling non-hazardous construction and/or demolition waste.

3. Disposing of non-hazardous construction and/or demolition waste.

1.3 DEFINITIONS

A. Construction Waste: Building and site improvement materials and other waste resulting from construction, remodeling, renovation, or repair operations. Construction waste includes packaging.

B. Demolition Waste: Building and site improvement materials resulting from demolition or selective demolition operations.

C. Disposal: Removal off-site of demolition and construction waste and subsequent sale, recycling, reuse, or deposit in landfill or incinerator acceptable to authorities having jurisdiction.

D. Recycle: Recovery of demolition or construction waste for subsequent processing in preparation for reuse.

E. Salvage: Recovery of demolition or construction waste and subsequent sale or reuse in another facility.

F. Salvage and Reuse: Recovery of demolition or construction waste and subsequent incorporation into the Work.

1.4 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

Each year, GSA diverts at least 50% of its total non-hazardous solid waste, including construction and demolition (C&D) debris. Executive Order 14057 section 207 establishes this goal for all Federal agencies. GSA achieves this goal by estimating current diversion rates, identifying strategies and practices to increase diversion rates, and changing current C&D waste management practices.

A. General: Achieve end-of-Project rates for salvage/recycling of 100 [50] percent minimum by weight of total waste generated by the Work unless additional rates are indicated. Practice efficient waste management in the use of materials in the course of the Work. Use all reasonable means to divert construction and demolition waste from landfills and incinerators. Facilitate recycling and salvage of materials.

1. Salvage/recycling goal is 100 percent.

2. Mandatory minimum salvage/recycling requirement is 50 percent.
