V 5 in a series of 10 case studies <br />Police Station <br />Issaquah,. WA <br />How specifications were used to <br />reduce construction waste <br />The specifications merely " encouraged" disposal alternatives to landfilling, <br />with reuse and recycling to the extent practical. However, this language <br />was followed up by verbal encouragement at the pre - demolition meeting <br />and thereafter. The contractor was also told to document recycling and <br />reuse measures. The contractor was creative and therefore very successful <br />in achieving salvage on the project. For example, bulletproof glass from <br />the old police station was reused in fish tank construction. <br />i <br />Printed by Triangle J Council of Governments, publishers of WasteSpec: Model <br />Specifications for Construction Waste Reduction, Reuse, and Recycling.
