What are the refuse transportation vehicle regulations?
• Vehicles used for the collection and transportation of refuse must have a secure, covered and watertight metal refuse storage compartment(s) of easily cleanable construction, shall be operated in an approved sanitary manner, minimizing exposure to flies and other insects, spillage, odor, and without other hazard or danger to the public health, shall be cleaned frequently enough to prevent their becoming a public health nuisance, and shall be maintained in good repair. Refuse storage compartments in the vehicle shall not be open or exposed except during filling, emptying and cleaning. Vehicles shall be loaded and moved in such a manner that the contents are not exposed and do not fall, leak, spill or escape. If spillage does occur, it shall be immediately picked up and removed in a sanitary manner.
