Inbound allocation
Allocate each received ton to the controlled material taxonomy so the material ledger agrees with measured inbound tonnage.
The Standard
One Standard. No discretionary math.
C&D Verified measures your facility’s recovery performance from its own weighbridge records. An accredited verifier tests the evidence behind it before CMRD publishes the rate and the period it covers.
The same measurement, evidence and decision rules apply to every processing line.
Standard —Calculation rules —Rolling 12-month basis
Scope
What it does not claim
- It is not a prediction of performance between verification cycles.
- It is not a project-level diversion figure.
- It is not a statement about any single load.

The verification lifecycle
Every published rate follows the same evidence chain.
§70.3
Processing
Record the physical work performed without treating crushing, grinding, baling or sorting as a recovery outcome.
Disposition and destination
Assign every outbound ton an outcome and name where it went. Disposition, not processing, determines recovery treatment.
Evidence
Attach the tickets, settlements, manifests and destination records that support each claimed outcome.
Automated validation
Test allocation, inventory continuity, evidence coverage and mass balance before a month can advance.
Independent verification
An accredited verifier samples transactions, tests destinations and records findings independently of the facility.
Certification decision
CMRD makes the certification decision separately from the verifier who issued the report.
Publication
Publish the verified rate with its scope, period, Standard version and current certification state.
Rate definitions · §5701 02 03 Separate basis
Three rates. One strict order.
Verified never exceeds evidence-supported, which never exceeds reported.
Reported
The recovery rate your facility reports from its disposition records.
Evidence-supported
The reported rate after unsupported recovery claims have been removed.
Verified
The evidence-supported rate after independent testing, findings and any verifier adjustments.
LEED-compatible
A distinctly labelled calculation compatible with LEED diversion treatment. It is not the CMRD verified rate.
Published taxonomy
Controlled vocabularies
Look up what a material, process or disposition means and what credit it can earn.

Mass balance · §30.2
Every ton must reconcile.
Beginning inventory + inbound = outbound + ending inventory + accounted process adjustment + unexplained variance.
Monthly tolerance—Applied by the published calculation rule.
Public meaning
Certification states
The registry states current standing as plainly as certification.
Applicant
The facility is enrolled but has no published verified rate.
Reporting
The facility is submitting records and has not yet been certified.
C&D Verified
A current certification decision supports publication of the verified rate.
Certified with qualification
The rate is published with a clearly stated limitation or condition.
Suspended
Certification is not current; the registry shows no current verified rate.
Expired
The certification period ended; the historical record remains visible without a current rate.
Withdrawn
Certification was withdrawn and no current verified claim may be made.
Not certified
The evidence or findings did not support certification; no verified rate is published.

Approval boundary
CMRD is not approved by USGBC or GBCI.
CMRD is not approved, endorsed, recognised or accredited by USGBC or GBCI. A LEED-compatible rate means only that the rate is calculated on a basis compatible with LEED rules.
The Standard requires a documented LEED crosswalk before CMRD seeks any approval. That pathway remains an open item; no approval has been sought or granted. §26.2
Open decisions for v1.0
