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) 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

In Dec 2023, there were people 79 people in the building.

Note: The weekly weighing of trash only recommenced in May 2023 after interruption due to COVID.


Monthly Waste in pounds




Monthly waste statistics per person




Monthly waste comparison, Green Garage vs industry standard

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.






2023 Waste Measurement Charts

2020 Waste Measurement Charts

  • Note: Data for 2020 only exists through March 2020 as normal operations were interrupted due to COVID
