For a mid-rise apartment building, are there specific requirements for what each individual apartment unit needs to provide to fulfill this credit, such as showing built-in recycling bins in the drawings? Or, is having a recycling/trash room on each floor with a chute that flows in to a collection area for storage / pick-up by recycling provider sufficient?

Hi Gail! I've never been asked to document in-unit recycling, just that residents have access to a trash room/chute with recycling. If there are amenity spaces I would recommend providing millwork drawings or furniture schedules for those that confirm some kind of built-in recycling collection.
