A-362.0400 (2) Recycling Space. The 1989 Wis. Act 335 requires the department to establish rules for public buildings such that adequate space is provided within or adjacent to buildings for the separation, temporary storage and collection of recyclable materials likely to be generated by the occupants of the building.

When verified amounts of previously generated recyclable materials are available, the following may be used to determine adequate space for the separation, temporary storage and collection of recyclable materials:
One cubic yard should be allocated for each 200 pounds of newspaper and mixed paper.
One cubic yard should be allocated for each 80 pounds of mixed or commingled recyclable materials.

The guidelines in the following table are provided for determining adequate space allocation when verified amounts of previously generated recyclable materials are not available. These guidelines are based on accumulation of recyclable materials likely to be generated by the building occupants for one week and one month, respectively. - See PDF for table
