Solid waste unit definition
Solid waste unit. “Solid Waste Unit” means a receptacle made of durable, corrosion-resistant, nonabsorbent material that is watertight, and has a close-fitting cover and two handles, or is a bag, box, or bundle that contains Solid Waste. A Solid Waste Unit can hold no more than thirty-two gallons or four cubic feet of Solid Waste, and weigh no more than 65 pounds when filled. In addition, a Solid Waste Unit shall not exceed two feet by two feet by five feet (2’ x 2’ x 5’) in dimension.
Solid waste unit means a contiguous area of land on or in which solid waste is placed, or the largest area in which there is significant likelihood of mixing waste constituents in the same area. Examples of solid waste units include a surface impoundment, a waste pile, a land processing area, a landfill cell, an incinerator, a tank and its associated piping and underlying containment system, and a container storage area. A container alone does not constitute a unit; the unit includes contain- ers and the land or pad upon which they are placed.
