WM – Tualatin Valley Waste Recovery is the latest RCI Certified Facility in the PNW
Posted on November 11, 2024Congratulations to WM Tualatin Valley Waste Recovery for attaining RCI Certification! Located just outside of Portland, OR, WM TVWR is the second RCI-Certified Facility in the Portland area, and our fourth Certified Facility in the Pacific Northwest.
We look forward to increasing the number of RCI-Certified Facilities in the region who serve the builders, contractors, and other construction professionals seeking recycling/recovery of their construction & demolition waste materials.
Through the use of independent third-party evaluators, RCI’s Certification Process:
• Provides builders, developers and LEED professionals accurate and transparent information and recycling rates, so they can have confidence in calculating the environmental performance of their construction and waste management processes
• Provides a comprehensive set of protocols, guidelines, and tools for professional assessment and certification, the Institute aims to enhance transparency and instill greater confidence in the C&D recycling industry
• Fosters trust among key stakeholders—including project owners, architects, environmental groups, municipalities, and the public—ensuring that reported recycling rates are both reliable and verifiable
