Amendment to Partial Articles of the Methods and Facility Standards for the Recycling, Storage, Clearance and Disposal of Waste Containers

The amendments apply to operators engaged in the recycling, storage, clearance and disposal of waste containers, as well as applicants seeking subsidies from the Resource Recycling Management Fund for such activities. They clarify terms including waste containers, recycling, storage, clearance, disposal and compressed waste-container bales, and require subsidy applicants to comply with Articles 3 through the preceding article of the Standards. The amendments also delete the former Article 10 requirements for audit and certification equipment, measures and waste-disposal contingency plans, which are addressed under the subsidy application review and management measures; add Article 11-1; and remove the transitional provision in Article 12, which is no longer necessary.
