Peter, is your primary concern earning MRp1 for the tenant space, or from a more practical standpoint, simply being able to recycle stuff if you're the tenant?
To earn MRp1 for the tenant space, you'll need to make sure the necessary space is available somewhere—sounds like this would need to be in the tenant space in your case. This will earn the prerequisite.
You'd then want to set up a contract with the hauler if the owner isn't going to do that, but this is not strictly a requirement for MRp1.

I think we've got this covered but your reply begs for a follow up question. Sounds like you are saying that a contract with a hauler is not a requirement of this pre-requisite. That being the case, an interior project is compliant simply for providing space for recycling to take place but not necessarily doing so? I don't think you mean this, do you?

Shhhhh.... don't let the word get out.... it might lead to fewer buildings following through on recycling plans. ;)
But yes, this prereq makes you allocate the space for collecting recycling, but does not require an actual recycling program.
Once you're operating, and eligible for LEED-EBOM, you'll need that recycling program, of course, so don't skip it!
