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?

NC-2009 MRp1:Storage and Collection of Recyclables

Recycling of the factory

We planned to apply LEED for a factory which has a recycle yard. The yard is openned and will be used to sort the wast for recycling without any clear boundary of waste types. Will this comply with this credit. If not, can we used the metal wire fence to create the 5-type waste zone which can be locked and secured. Will this help to comply?

It may be important to make recycling easier, and clearer, for building user's too. You should be able to identify on a floor plan where recyclables are collected on the interior, and then stored on the exterior. If the plan is for comingled recycling, there may be no need for fencing separating the types.
