Measurement Decisions

The trash audit group in June of 2013.

Unit of measure = pounds per week
Per person is the number of people that are in the Businesses in Residence and regular volunteers
Industry standards for waste per person/per month were taken from: NYC Mayor's Office on Environmental Coordination (Chapter 14)

Average NY Office Space Waste Amounts from NYC CEQR Technical Manual

Sources of Waste

offices
kitchen
bathrooms
our Friday community lunch

Waste Destinations

Garbage goes out on Fridays. It is picked up by the City of Detroit Department of Public Services.
Recycled material (paper, cardboard, styrofoam, glass, metal and plastics) goes to our waste/recycling station just at the edge of the green alley, next to Motor City Brewing Works. It is picked up weekly by Recycle Here.
Compost goes to 2 locations: Palmer Park, where we mix it with spent brewing grains from Motor City Brewing Works and horse manure; and some to our worms, located in the greenhouse. We compost approximately 5 pounds of food scraps per day, 25 per week.

Waste Measurement Charts

Monthly Waste in pounds, June 2013 - June 2014

Total waste for the month of June 2014 is at 84.5 lbs. for a total of 104 people.

Monthly waste statistics per person, June 2013 - June 2014

The waste per person for June 2014 came out to .87 pounds.

Monthly waste comparison, Green Garage vs industry standard for June 2014

This chart compares our waste output with an industry standard for office space of 13 pounds of waste per person per week, or about 56 pounds of waste per person per month. As the number of people in the building has risen throughout the year, our waste numbers have remained surprisingly constant. The hypothetical 'industry standard' red line shows how these numbers might have looked if we were a typical office building growing at the rate we did over the last year.
In June 2014, we had 104 people in the building and 84.5 lbs of waste. For 104 people, the industry standard for waste would equate to 5,814 lbs.

Monthly waste cost per person, June 2013 - June 2014

It cost approximately $0.36 per person to cover the cost of waste in the month of June 2014.
