Could someone please clarify the following for me? Am I interpreting the language correctly to require: - (1) designated recycling storage area, sized appropriately based on the recommended sf in the reference guide in addition to other smaller collection and storage areas through the building; so in effect, I need (1) designated space at a certain sf, rather than designing for that same sf in aggregate for the project - Our project is a small new building/addition that physically connects to another existing building that already has a large space designated and used for collection and storage. Can I claim this space as the designated recycling storage, or am I required to provide a storage location within our LEED project boundary?

I believe you can use this central area as part of your recycling plan. However, you'll need to prove that this existing area meets the requirements for all areas served. In other words, your project plus the existing building plus any other building that uses it to collect recycling. I've done this in our hospital projects and we have to address the capacity at the loading dock frequently as well as collection from the project site to the loading dock.
