FAQs about MRp1 :

Are we required to collect and recycle food waste?

Our project will have a different area for recycling than what is recommended in the LEED Reference Guide. Is that okay?

I'm confident we have enough space allotted for recycling, but how much detail should I go into in documenting expected volume?

I was curious if there is a rule of the thumb for determing the qualifing recyling area square footage. The credit language seems ambiguous to me. I'm currently working on a CI project where all the storage bins are housed in one lounge space. Is it fair to use the square footage of that space? Or should I add up the actual footprints of the bins themselves?

Caupolican, there is not a specific credit requirement relating to square footage. I would consider whether the space allotted seems adequate for the project.
