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

Separate Buildings, Same Cellar

I have two hotel projects(190K & 98K) which will be filed as two separate LEED projects that have a combined cellar. As per reference guide sizing guideline, do I have to provide two individual centralized locations (275 SF minimum each) to meet credit intent, or can I provide one (500 SF) room to meet the prerequisite requirement for both projects?

Jesus, the first FAQ above relates to this. The collection point for recycling does not have to be within your LEED project boundary, as long as it is an accessible and sensible location for the project. And, the sizing recommendations are just recommendations—again, see the FAQs. So I would make the right choice for the buildings first, and then explain it in a LEED narrative.
