Before
A narrow deep lot previously zoned for single family housing, slated for redevelopment
- The City of Kitchener, along with many local governments, has approved rezoning of single family lots to allow for housing with greater density.
- It’s essential for the developer to maximize space; with as many units as possible along with parking, space becomes very valuable.
- The developer is required to provide a streamed waste containment plan that allows for legislated diversion.
- The old ways of managing waste would include: waste room, carts and dumpsters – probably with an enclosure. All this would mean more space dedicated to managing waste– reducing inside living space or outdoor parking space; and tends to be messy and more expensive.
After
- Instead the architect and developer chose to Make it Molok, adding 2 containers to the site in a short boulevard, next to a parking spot and is easily accessed by residents and the crane-lifted collection truck.
- Streamed waste containment plan: two M-5000’s easily manage waste and recycling.
- Units are just outside, making them convenient and accessible.
- Why did they choose Molok’s Semi-inground containers? They choose the proven product with long-lasting quality that’s Made in Canada.
