Short answer

A shopping centre is an ERP: above 1,100 litres of waste per week, it must offer the public sorting of at least two streams, packaging and paper on one side and biowaste on the other. In practice, 3-stream stations (with residual waste) at 90/100 L per stream are installed in the arcades and food areas, and outdoor stations fixed to the ground on forecourts and car parks.
