Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

According to NFPA 230: Standard for the Fire Protection of Storage, 2015 Edition, building codes should limit the size of an unsprinklered facility used for the processing and storage of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) built of type V construction to 7,500 ft2 (697 m2). This is based on the assumption that the MSW has a heat release rate of 18,000 Btu/ft2-min (200 kW/m2) and a fire growth rate of 0.046 min-1. Type V construction is defined as a type of construction in which the structural elements, exterior walls, and interior walls are of any materials permitted by the code123 Reference:

waste stream. In facilities where this sorting is done in pits or
prior to delivery to the site, the tripper floor should be relatively
free of residual combustibles. Housekeeping is important in
this area because of the potential ignition sources from delivery
trucks. MSW should not be allowed to accumulate. MSW stored
in pits should be monitored by cameras or plant personnel to
ensure that fires and unsafe conditions are detected. If the tripper
floor is enclosed (walls and roof), it should be provided with
