The Department of Sanitation is issuing a rule that limits the size of receptacles containing solid waste that are set out for collection by the Department. Specifically, this rule limits the maximum size of such receptacles to fifty-five gallons. This rule will ensure that receptacles are of an acceptable size for the Department's sanitation workers to safely handle in the course of their collection duties. Violators will be subject to a fine for using an improper receptacle as set forth in Section 16-120 of the Administrative Code.
