FAQs about MRp1 :

Are we required to collect and recycle food waste?

Our project will have a different area for recycling than what is recommended in the LEED Reference Guide. Is that okay?

I'm confident we have enough space allotted for recycling, but how much detail should I go into in documenting expected volume?

Hi, I was wondering if post industrial waste is included by default in the recycling plan required by the MR prerequisite. If it didn't, adding this waste to a comprehensive plan may be an option for an innovation in design credit, would you agree? Thanks.

Nadia, a recycling plan is not required for MRp1 so any kind of plan already goes beyond the prereq.Your best bet would be to use one of the LEED-EBOM solid waste management credits as a model, and either stick with the scope of one or more of those credits, or expand on it, using similar methodology.
