CS-v4 MRp1:Storage and collection of recyclables

MRpr1 - need for separate bins for each recyclable stream?

I have the following question for a new healthcare project: In the project area, all recyclables (paper, metal, glass, plastic and cardboard) are collected as a single stream by the municipal recycling service and directed to a Municipal Material Recovery Facility (MRF) where they are separated by the MRF staff. The municipality also foresees the separate collection of cardboard in the future.

Is it in compliance with the MRpr1 if we have a bin for cardboard and a common bin where the rest of the recyclables (glass, plastic, metal, paper) are collected within the facility? Needless to say that batteries, mercury-containing lamps, and electronic waste will be collected, stored and disposed separately. 

Thank you in advance
