§ 5-11 Labeling of Containers.
RCNY § 5-11
(a)All containers or receptacles from which trade waste is collected by any licensee shall have the volume capacity of each container or receptacle painted on the front of the container or receptacle in Arabic numerals at least 4 inches in height and followed by the indication "cu. yd." when the volume of the container or receptacle is measured in cubic yards or "GAL." when the volume of the container or receptacle is measured in gallons.
(b)If a container is provided by a licensee, it shall be the responsibility of that licensee to imprint and maintain the licensee's name and license number along with the accurate true measurement of the volume of the container. A licensee shall, at no charge, mark each unmarked container provided by a customer with the name of the owner of the container and the accurate true measurement of the volume of the container.
(c)If trade waste is collected from any container that does not have the volume capacity imprinted, the licensee collecting waste from such container shall report the exact location of such container to the Commission within three (3) business days of the time it had actual or constructive knowledge of the improper labeling.
