MRp1 Can a designated dumpster serve as my area of recycling?

Hello Shelly, For C&S projects, follow whats in the reference guide, page 341.. which talks about Core and Shell project requirements. The dumpster area should follow the guidelines as per Table 1 (page 341) or if there are any studies/code requirements, done to come up with a reasonable area, that might suffice too. I have mostly used table 1 for almost all my projects. Regarding the location, there is no rule that the dumpster/compactor has to be an interior space. As long as it is accessible to the maintenance staff and collection vehicles, that should work. Designation and visual marking is important (which you can mention in the narrative). Also you need to document how the recyclable materials from your building will be transported to the dumpster. Hope this helps.
