Scope: This Standard covers the public health and sanitation requirements for refuse compactor systems. These systems are intended to compact refuse generated from single-family dwellings, multiple-family dwellings, apartment complexes, food service establishments, and other such facilities that may generate food wastes. These compactors are not intended for compaction of hazardous or infectious material. Specifically excluded are refuse collection trucks and compactors intended for use at transfer stations and in industrial operations. No attempt has been made to incorporate safety provisions.
