Hazardous waste materials include chemicals, petroleum products, paint products, asbestos, power transformers, oxygen bottles, propane tanks, batteries, industrial and agricultural chemicals, cleaning agents and similar hazardous, dangerous or toxic materials. Some preliminary curbside separation will be attempted, but the Contractor must be aware that hazardous waste materials might be commingled with debris. The Contractor shall take every precaution to avoid loading and hauling hazardous waste materials. Notwithstanding, the Contractor's labor forces must be aware of the appropriate safety precautions. Further, the Contractor will be responsible for safe and proper handling of any hazardous waste materials inadvertently loaded by Contractor labor forces.

All debris extending beyond the vehicle in any horizontal direction must be cut off or otherwise removed. • Hauling: All vehicles utilized in hauling debris must be equipped with adequate means for containing the load, including canvas covering while transporting the debris to approved landfills. • Covering: All vehicles must effectively prevent debris from being blown or bounced off the vehicles. • Sideboards: Sideboards or other extensions to the bed will be permitted provided they meet state and local requirements, cover the front and two sides, and are substantially constructed. Sideboards must be constructed of 2” by 6” boards or greater and may not extend more than 2 feet above the metal bed sides. • Tailgates: Vehicles must be equipped with a tailgate or other devices that will effectively contain the debris on the vehicle while hauling, and also permit the vehicle to be loaded to capacity. 3.6.8.
