SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): The National Waste & Recycling Association announces that the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has approved the revision of the mobile equipment standard Z245.1-2017. This revision replaces the Provisional Amendment from 2014 and the standard from 2012.
Standard Z245.1-2017 applies to the construction, reconstruction, modification, care, maintenance, operation, and use of mobile waste or recyclable materials collecting, transportation and compacting equipment.
