1. The Policy must include a statement committing the organization or building to continuous improvement in the reduction and diversion of waste. Address the prevention, diversion, and management of solid waste generated as a result of the following:
   • • Day-to-day activities from all waste producing areas, including food service and retail; and
     • Periodic events such as conferences, catered meetings and functions, training, tenant relocation activities, construction, renovation and demolition projects, fit ups, etc.
2. The policy must be signed by the building manager, dated within the last 12 months.

Demonstration of implementation is not required, nor is building-specific information.

The contamination of recyclable material does not disqualify this requirement, though continued contamination should be addressed in the Waste Reduction Work Plan.

Off-site sorting such as at a transfer station from a single common receptacle does not qualify as source-separation in the context of the BOMA BEST application.
