Container shall be capable of being lifted and dumped from any angle. Every container must be capable of being emptied with fully-automated or semi-automated equipment utilized by the City. 20 – gallon containers: 70 lbs. 32 – gallon containers: 112 lbs. 48 – gallon containers: 168 lbs. 64 – gallon containers: 224 lbs. 96 – gallon containers: 336 lbs.
