Part 1: Waste Stream Calculation

This calculation will estimate the quantity of trash and recycling that will be generated from this property. Once the waste quantity is estimated, the information can be used to design trash and recycling collection areas that will provide adequate storage capacity and truck access.

Directions: Determine the total number of residential units of all buildings on the property. The size of the units does not matter. Multiply that number by the Annual Waste Generation Rate of 2.15 tons per unit. See illustrated formula below.

The Annual Waste Generation Rate of 2.15 tons/unit is derived from the U.S. EPA average daily per-person waste generation rate and U.S. Census average household size.

Part 2: Description of Solid Waste and Recycling System

ALL MULTIFAMILY DWELLING UNIT COMPLEXES MUST RECYCLE MIXED PAPER AND CARDBOARD (CHAPTER 109.1 OF THE CODE OF THE COUNTY OF FAIRFAX, VA). SPACE FOR COLLECTING THESE MATERIALS SEPARATELY FROM OTHER TRASH MUST BE INCORPORATED INTO THE DESIGN PROCESS (CHAPTER 10, PUBLIC FACILITIES MANUAL).

The plan design must include elements that will provide for the proper, legal, and safe storage and collection of all solid waste. Include the following information: how the plan design elements will facilitate the separation of recyclable materials from the waste stream; how and where solid waste and recyclable materials will be stored; and, how solid waste and recyclables will be collected. Be sure to include descriptions of internal and/or external storage, compactors, balers, chutes, etc.

Use this pattern to help design trash and recycling areas, based on your calculations in Part 1:
