The Wilkinson-Hi-Rise BiSorter

The BiSorter is designed to address the commingled recycling programs and solid waste needs in multi-story buildings.  The system allows trash and recycling to be collected in a 2-cubic yard waste container that is equipped with an optional Wilkinson Trash Compactor and industry-standard 90-gallon toters, respectively

The BiSorter model is comprised of a waste recycling chute, ICD-2000 doors, Disinfecting & Sanitation Unit, a 2-cubic yard waste container and one 90-gallon recycling toters.  The system software may be programmed to lockout specific doors during custom build-out of units, preventing damage to the waste/recycling system and providing an additional safety lockout.

A.	The general provisions of the contract, including General and Supplementary Conditions and Division 1, General Requirements, apply to the work specified in this section.
	
1.2	SYSTEM OPERATION

A.	The Two Component Sorter shall use a single waste recycling chute (hereinafter “chute”) in a multi-story building to distribute materials pre-separated by tenants into two separate containers, as determined by the building management.  For example, one container will be designated for garbage; a second for newspaper or commingled recyclables.  A tenant-activated, membrane keypad switch on a control panel incorporated above each chute intake door shall initiate appropriate container selection.  As the correct container is accessed by the chute, the chute intake door is signaled available to the tenant who then disposes of the material.  Remaining chute intake doors on other floors shall be disabled during the foregoing operation. (Program Selectable)
