By the way, we have instructions on how to document MRp1 in LEED Online here on LEEDuser.I agree with David, this seems a bit complicated and unlikely to stand the test of time. His suggestions make sense.

Hello again, I have been looking into the option of separating the recyclables in the ground floor. My question is if there is a specific ratio of area, per quantity of trash, to comply with this process. I am assuming this area also needs to be a contained open area, otherwise enclosed areas would have to have ventilation systems and have to comply with a more complicated process of sanitation. Thanks again for the help.

For the recommended area of trash/ recycling storage, see the guidelines posted here on the LEEDUser Bird's Eye View for NC 2009 MRp1: http://www.leeduser.com/credit/NC-2009/MRp1 Those are published as suggested guidelines. For projects that provide a significantly different area, we've included a narrative from the trash hauler that explains their recommendations for necessary area based on the scheduled frequency of trash collection.
