Can you tell me if contracts with waste haulers are required? My project is a small office building located on a college campus. Currently the office personnel or college students carry all recyclables to the city recycling collection points and do not receive a receipt. I know for compliance with MR credit 7-9 they will be required to quantify amounts, but can they do it themselves or are they going to be required to have a contract and pay a thrid party to do this? Thanks!

Janna, for MRp2, the prerequisite you've posted this question under, you don't need to document compliance at all—you simply need to have a policy in place.For MRc7, MRc8, and MRc9, you would need to collect some kind of documentation, but I think you could justify some kind of occupant-generated log system rather than receipts from a paid hauler. Perhaps a letter or something from the city confirming that this is how it's done would also help with the documentation package.
