Optional Fields
In 2016 a new agreement was signed which consolidated construction and demolition waste under Vanderbilt’s master service agreement with Waste Management. Communication efforts around the new agreement have been made and all projects are aware of diversion efforts with the intent of increasing diversion rates, performing more robust due diligence, and developing better metrics.
All new construction and major renovation projects built on Vanderbilt’s campus are designed to LEED standards and most pursue LEED certification. As part of the LEED certification process, minimal construction and demolition materials are allowed to be landfilled or incinerated. In addition, scrap metal is diverted from these sites and is recycled through Vanderbilt’s scrap metal recycling program.
