OWRR Design Guidelines

For related information, refer to the UNC-Chapel Hill Design Guidelines, Chapter V: Sections 02475 Trash and Recyclables Collection System, 02870 Site Furnishings, 11170 Waste Handling Equipment, and 12300 Custom Cabinets and Millwork.

It is the responsibility of the project to budget or reserve funds for the equipment and work with OWRR to ensure that the equipment is ordered, shipped and installed prior to occupancy.  Trash and cardboard dumpsters, rolloff containers, and walkway containers (Section 02870 Site Furnishings) are examples of the type of equipment for which this needs to happen.

Horizontal compactors are considered part of the building systems.  Compactors are to be included in the project budget, planning, design and requirements (Section 11170 Waste Handling Equipment). 

Indoor cabinets may be built by the project or ordered by the project (Section 12300 Custom Millwork and Cabinets).  Funding for the cabinets must either be part of the project budget or reserves.  It is the project's responsibility to design, order, receive and install the cabinets.

Some equipment such as standard indoor recycling bins and outdoor carts will be provided by OWRR at no charge.
