Optional Fields
To ensure that construction waste is minimized and recycling opportunities are optimized, NSCC has implemented a strict waste reduction plan. Before any major construction or renovation projects, contractors must submit an Environmental Plan for review by NSCC. This plan outlines the proposed approach for managing construction waste and includes strategies for reduction, reuse, and recycling. Currently, NSCC has four new buildings under construction that are being built to LEED standards. As part of these standards, contractors must document all waste and report the amount of construction and demolition waste that was recycled or reused, helping to divert waste from landfills. These projects are expected to be completed by 2024.
