4.3.8 Controlled Waste Storage
4.3.8.1 This space is provided for storage of waste materials or items
for environmental protection, while awaiting recycling or other
disposal. Due to the nature of the contents, it will have exterior access
only, and CMU wall to structure or a concrete ceiling.
4.3.8.2 The room should have a depressed well under a metal grate
floor for collection of any spills. The well should be sloped to allow
convenient suction of spills at a low point: no drain. The well should
be capable of containing 150% of the stored materials; verify likely
amount of stored materials with Tenants.
4.3.8.3 Some steel shelving is typically provided, with some floor area
left open for larger containers.
