1. BACKGROUND
The Division of Refuse Collection requires eight (8) cubic yard containers with which to collect refuse from multi-family dwellings and other applications where the utilization of such a container is more efficient and less costly than utilizing 90-gallon or 300-gallon containers and/or is dictated by spatial considerations.
