    (a) The refuse bin shall be empty and have its lids or covers in a 
position which would most adversely affect the stability of the bin when 
tested.

testing, the bin shall not be tilted from level in such a way as to 
increase its stability.

casters or wheels positioned in a position which would most adversely 
affect the stability of the bin and shall be chocked to prevent 
movement.
    (d) The stability of the refuse bin shall be tested without 
dependence upon non-permanent attachments or restraints such as chains 
or guys.
    (e) For purposes of enforcement, bins will be tested by the 
Commission in that position which most adversely affects their 
stability.
