The answer is: an easily accessible area serving the entire bldg that is dedicated to the SEPARATION, collection, and storage of materials for recycling. I thought that separation wasn't necessary. It does say in the reference guide that some haulers may accept comingled recyclables, thereby reducing the storage space needed. Wouldn't this answer be incorrect since you don't have to separate recyclables being as comingled is acceptable? On a practice exam a question asks:

I can't seem to post it here, or don't know how. It is an excel sheet. It is posted on the ARE forum, or you can email me for it at d.wolf@swbr.com I hope this helps – I have created a chart for the percentages in the MR credits.
