Contains dimensional specifications that apply to newly manufactured containers that are used in conjunction with the collection, processing and disposal (including the diversion of waste for recycling) of municipal, commercial and industrial solid wastes by private companies and public entities. These containers are used in conjunction with mobile and stationary equipment that use mechanical means to handle the containers. This standard also facilitates the dimensional compatibility between various types of containers and equipment designed to lift and dump these containers, as well as facilitates the identification of compatible containers and lifting equipment by persons involved in the manufacture, reconstruction, use, modification, maintenance, service, operation, and installation (where applicable) of containers. This standard also provides nomenclature for the various types containers, including two-wheeled plastic refuse containers (carts), in use and describes generically the forms and dimensional ranges of the types.
