Can anyone elaborate on the following credit language? "At a minimum, the policy must cover the waste streams that are within the building and site management’s control." We are looking at EBOM for a mall. As the landlord and building manager, I would argue that we only control the common area and our own mangement offices. We bill our tenants for centralized waste collection; they are responsible for emptying their trash, separating cardboard, etc. Can we legitimately document during the performance period only the common area waste and exclude tenants?

Great question. Here's some extra ones...if you own the bins, then you control what goes into them. If they own the bins and pay direct for the waste/recycling, then it can be their problem. However, in reality the majority of the waste from the mall is from the tenants, not the common areas and I would respectfully suggest that the onus for waste and recycling falls to you. At the end of the day the 'mall will get the plaque'
