Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery Deepens Commitment to Environmental Stewardship With RCI Certification
The Press, June 20, 2024
Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery (MDRR) has achieved certification from the Recycling Certification Institute for the high diversion rate of its Construction and Demolition (C&D) line at the company’s Material Recovery Facility.
This certification further demonstrates how well MDRR keeps material out of landfills, according to a press release.
The certification was granted following a comprehensive assessment by third-party auditor Nothing Wasted Consulting Group after a rigorous review of the facility’s procedures and guidelines. Additionally, it confirms the accuracy of the facility’s recovery and recycling documentation.
The Pittsburg facility is among 16 C&D processing facilities in California that have achieved RCI certification. By responsibly disposing of C&D waste at a third-party-certified facility such as MDRR’s, contractors can earn credits that count toward obtaining Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.
