Inquiry

Does the area dedicated to the separation, collection, and storage of materials for recycling need to be entirely within the confines of the building? Our building has easily accessible areas for collection of recycled material on each floor. These indoor collection areas would not be large enough to accommodate all of the recycled volume between pick-ups from a recycling company. The recycled volume generated\ncould be accommodated by an outdoor recycle area that received the regularly emptied indoor recyclables performed by maintenance staff. Would we qualify for the prerequisite?
