Reclamation Program

The MDC Reclamation Program is our commitment to reducing the environmental footprint and building a more sustainable world.  Through this program, MDC will reclaim vinyl wallcovering for recycling into new building materials. Our objective is to divert end of life wallcovering from entering landfill.  Participation in our Reclamation Program is simple and can contribute toward LEED credits.

Step 1

Fill out the MDC Reclamation form and return it with a 12” x 12” sample of the each wallcovering you would like to submit for reclamation.  Samples are necessary to ensure the materials are able to safely recycle into new materials.  Once evaluated MDC will respond with approval for the material to be returned.  Wallcovering retrieved through the MDC Reclamation program must be replaced by an order for new wallcovering in a quantity comparable to the material being returned.

Step 2

Preparation of material:

• Submit pre approved vinyl wallcovering only
• Remove all construction debris prior to shipping
• Do not include any material containing mold or mildew
• Include any trim, scrap or overages remaining

Packaging:

• Stack 6-10 sheets and roll into a large roll.
• Place into MDC provided plastic bags and secure
• Quantities greater than 500 yards may require alternative packaging.
• Return material to:
