Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Trash Generation/Dumpsters in Cohousing

[merlpb (merlpb]

   We at Liberty Village are contemplating dumpster use, 
and design of the facility.
   What have communities found are the volume needs for 
dumpster use in terms of number of households and the 
total volume of the dumpster(s) used, with what volume 
of recycling?  Dumpsters are sized by yards of volume 
(2, 3, 4, 6, & 8 yards are common: a cubic yard equals 
27 cubic feet). 
   One conventional community here uses a 3-yard 
dumpster for every 18 condos.
