Refer to UNC-Chapel Hill Design Guidelines Chapter III: Construction Staging Areas, Pedestrian and Vehicular Access,Traffic Control and Pedestrian and Bike Safety Plans and Chapter IV: Construction Design Guidelines for Working Within and/or Near Occupied Buildings.

In order to maintain services to buildings under construction and adjacent buildings, OWRR and its contractors must be able to access dumpsters and loading docks during all phases of construction and renovation.  Contact Ray Lanier (919) 962-7175.

The questions and considerations given in this section are designed to ensure continued and efficient solid waste services to campus buildings.

These issues must be addressed and discussed with OWRR throughout the design process.

Container Removal

Outdoor Containers: The contractor or construction manager must contact OWRR to remove all non-essential containers (dumpster, indoor bins, and carts) prior to beginning any site work or installing any construction fencing.
The site, staging and demolition plans are to read: "Notify the Office of Waste Reduction and Recycling at 962-1442 to remove these containers prior to beginning any construction activities."
Ray Lanier, 962-7175,  is the current contact for issues related to outdoor containers and building access.
Indoor Containers: Offices and departments are to clean out files and recyclables prior to evacuating spaces to be renovated.  See UNC-Chapel Hill Design Guidelines Chapter IV: Moving Procedures for Bond Projects for more information about preparing for a move or renovation prior to construction.

All indoor recycling bins must be removed prior to construction. If any remaining recycling bins remain in the building, the contractor is to contact OWRR (962-5169) for their removal.

Amy Preble (962-5169) is the current contact for issues related to indoor recycling and file purges.
