Measurement Decisions

The trash audit group in June of 2013.

Unit of measure = pounds per week

Average NY Office Space Waste Amounts from NYC CEQR Technical Manual

Sources of Waste

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) 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.

Monthly waste comparison, Green Garage vs industry standard for Jul 2019

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.
