GENERAL<br />
Demonstrate that an Operational Waste Strategy has been developed from the concept<br />
stage. As a minimum, the following must be addressed by the design and development<br />
team:<br />
� Annual estimates of Operational waste;<br />
� Summary review of existing and planned waste management infrastructure and<br />
programs available from the appropriate authority;<br />
� Proposed options for diverting waste from landfills and incineration with a<br />
minimum targeted diversion rate of 40% by weight or volume of the total<br />
operational waste generated at full occupancy;<br />
� Provision of adequately sized and accessible facilities and clearly labeled<br />
containers for the storage and collection of source-segregated waste as<br />
recommended by the Centre of Waste Management. At a minimum, allow for<br />
separation as follows:<br />
o Green container for recyclable plastics, glass and metals;<br />
o Blue container for recyclable paper and cardboard;<br />
o Black container for non recyclable and non compostable waste; and<br />
o An optional container may be provided for compostable organic waste;<br />
� Distance to carry waste containers to the nearest collection point inside or outside<br />
the building may not exceed 30 m; and<br />
� Adequate vehicular access for waste handling vehicles must also be ensured.<br />
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT/CLARIFICATIONS<br />
Multi-Residential <strong>Building</strong>s<br />
The minimum targeted diversion rate for Operational Waste is 30% by weight or volume<br />
of the total operational waste generated at full occupancy.<br />
This is a requirement. There are no Credit Points awarded.<br />
Operational Waste Strategy that includes:<br />
� Narrative summarizing options researched and selected to meet the diversion<br />
targets. The strategy must address waste minimization, storage, collection, and<br />
treatment and links to private or municipal and regional infrastructure and<br />
programs;<br />
� Calculations documenting projected waste quantities for the development during<br />
operation on an annual basis. Waste benchmarks may be obtained from the Centre<br />
of Waste Management, waste audits of similar buildings or literature research.<br />
References must be clearly listed;<br />
� Drawing(s) indicating location of the storage/disposal facilities and vehicle access<br />
areas designed to ensure adequate space for maneuvering delivery and waste<br />
removal vehicles; and<br />
� Waste transfer inventory outlining the intended receiver of waste. This should<br />
include information indicating that the carrier, recycling and disposal facilities are<br />
licensed.<br />
� Updated calculations documenting projected waste quantities for the development<br />
during operation on an annual basis;<br />
� As-built drawing(s) and photographs indicating location of the storage/disposal<br />
