Wst 03a Operational waste

Individual and communal catering – Residential institutions   - KBCN1898

The criteria set different requirements for the following scenarios: 

• Residential institutions with self-contained dwellings only 

• Residential institutions with individual bedrooms and communal facilities only 

In situations where there is catering equipment within self-contained dwellings or bedsits and additional communal catering facilities, recyclable waste storage must be provided in both.  However, to avoid over-provision, the size of individual containers and total volume of waste storage can be reduced by up to 50% in either the dwellings or the communal kitchens.   The approach must be justified based on the project team’s assessment of the likely waste streams, accounting for the type, location and number of catering facilities provided.
