The design specifications of the Otto MSD carts will meet virtually all of the specifications outlined in this bid request. MANUFACTURING PROCESSES AND MATERIALS: PLASTIC MATERIAL: Base plastic resin must be first quality low -density polyethylene supplied by a national petrochemical producer. The Otto refuse containers are manufactured by an injection molding process. The injection molding process is capable of making products with complex designs that would not be possible by other processes of manufacturing, such as rotational molding and blow molding. Injection molding provides consistency and durability. The injection - molding process requires the use of high density polyethylene (the bid calls for linear low polyethylene which is the proprietary material used in the rotational -molding process). It is useful to keep in mind that the "minimum property levels" outlined in the bid specifications are references to results from ASTM laboratory procedures that are performed on test samples molded of polyethylene resins and do not in fact establish the strength and durability of an actual container. While all suppliers of rollout refuse carts use polyethylene as their material of choice, each of the different molding technologies (i.e., injection, rotational) requires a different "recipe" (formula) specifically blended to their specific technology. These ASTM tests were designed to help manufacturers select the correct resin formula for their particular molding application by differentiating the physical properties of various resin formulas. The resin properties described in this bid specification are typical for the resins formulated for use in one particular molding process — rotational -molding. The resin formula that Otto uses to produce the best injection -molded carts will have different laboratory test properties than the rotational -molding grade polyethylene. We have attached a laboratory report detailing the properties of the resins formulated for use in the Otto injection -molded carts. In reality, the ASTM testing results are only useful if used as a point of comparison between different manufacturers that use the same molding process.

Otto Environmental Systems • 800.79S. OTTO (6886 ) • www.otto-usa.com Expert Engineering Otto strives to provide a breadth of products and services for its customers. Our engineering and product design team has the expertise to provide the best cost-effective solution to meet your needs for quality, durability, and longevity. Otto uses a plastic injection molding process using high density polyethylene (HDPE) to produce many of its products, including two -wheel carts, dumpsters, and contracted and custom molded parts. Injection molding provides consistency and durability with design features that are built into the mold to strengthen areas that face unique stress points. Otto containers are engineered with the appropriate balance of stiffness and flexibility to provide flex and conformity for an automated grabber, resulting in fewer stress points. Special features of our two -wheel carts feature a molded -in wear ridge at the bottom of the cart to prolong the container lifespan and patented dimples at four sides to assist with gripping power. Quality Management Otto Environmental Systems North America, Inc. is ISO 9001:2015, and IATF 16969:2016. Otto is regularly audited to maintain these certifications. Every order is inspected to meet specified project requirements. Otto carts are manufactured using high density polyethylene (HDPE). Otto only uses HDPE grades that have longer molecular chains to decrease the melt index and give the material "melt strength." The higher molecular weight also gives the material increased environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR), impact strength, and cold -temperature toughness over a material with a similar density but shorter molecular chains. Each lot of resin is put through extensive testing to verify the melt flow index and check for moisture and contamination to ensure the resin meets Otto's established standards. Advantages of the Otto Injection Molded Container Otto Environmental Systems North America, Inc. refuse containers are manufactured by an injection molding process. The injection molding process is capable of making products with complex designs that would not be possible by other manufacturing processes such as rotational or blow molding. For example: • HDPE (high -density polyethylene) composition is heavy duty and fully recyclable. • The automated manufacturing process yields lower container prices. • Injection molding allows for intricate design features, such as wear strips, support ribs, and assembly slots, where other molding processes create simpler outputs with limited mold design capability. • Consistency in wall thickness allows isolation of special features in order to strengthen areas where the container faces special stress, for example: o Lid attachments are cylindrical -shaped and double -ribbed, creating a robust attachment to the container body. o The container base is manufactured with a dual molded -on "wear strip" to take the brunt of the wear and abuse. The flat bottom of the container does not touch the ground. o Molded gussets contribute greater strength to the axle mounting details. • High pressure injected resin ensures complete and even coverage throughout the mold, providing overall consistent wall thickness and eliminating thin spots or "windows." • An extra deep toehold assists with handling heavy loads.

Innovative Technology Otto is actively investing in cloud -based technologies to change our world for the better. Our investment in "the cloud" aims to reduce our manufacturing footprint and in turn, increase efficiencies that will lead to a cleaner community, less printed paper, more recycled product, and reduced product lead times. All Otto carts can be equipped with RFID tags or permanent barcodes that can link a cart to a specific address. With RFID, a plastic RFID tag is placed inside the handle of the cart during assembly at Otto's manufacturing facility and secured in place once the hinge pins are fastened to the lid. Barcodes are available at the time of manufacture with several application options. ANSI Approved Otto carts meet or exceed A.N.S.I. (American National Standards Institute) Z245 standards for compatibility dimensions to ensure that containers and lifters work together to safely empty and return the container to the ground after collection. These include bib and lift bar dimensional requirements based on the container type. For required markings, Otto carts include a code for the date of manufacture, the maximum payload weight rating, the volumetric capacity, and safety "close lid before moving" instructions. Cart testing is always executed with the maximum load weight of 3.5 pounds per gallon. Additional proprietary tests are also performed and recorded to ensure variables such as different working shifts, raw materials, and equipment are consistent for optimal output. A.N.S.I. sts include: 1. Curb Test: This test determines whether the cart's handles, wheels and axles will withstand the repeated impact forces experienced during a normal 10-year useful life. A maximum loaded cart is pushed off a curb of 5.5 inches and repositioned at the top and repeated for 520 cycles! Otto's steel axles and strong axle ribs ensure a strong base to absorb the impact without breaking. 2. Lid Test: Otto cart lids can withstand a load of 80 pounds (comparable to the weight of a small child) without collapsing. 3. Force to Tip Test: Cart testing measures the force required to start container movement or tip a maximum loaded cart to ensure ease of operation. Otto carts are well below the industry standard of not exceeding 120 pounds of force. 4. Center of Balance Position Test: To further ensure ease of operation, Otto carts are tested to ensure that the height of the handle at the center -of -balance position is between 29-40 inches. Otto Environmental Systems • 800.795.OTTO (6886 ) • www.otto-usa.com 5. Slope Stability Test: This test checks the static stability of an empty and loaded cart on a 5- degree slope. Otto carts stand, without tipping or moving, in three different orientations. 6. Volumetric Loading Capacity Test: To determine the volume of a container, Otto carts are immersed in a tank of water to verify the volume of the cart. 7. Loading and Unloading — Automated (Cycle Test): A loaded cart is engaged by the lifter and emptied. The cart is reloaded and inspections are made every 100 lifts. 8. Loading and Unloading — Semi -Automated (Cycle Test): A loaded cart is engaged by the lifter and emptied. The cart is reloaded and inspections are made every 100 lifts.

Phone: 1(800)-227-5885 Revision August 20, 2015 Cart Test Procedures Otto Environmental Systems manufactures carts that are of the highest quality and durability possible. One way we accomplish this is through a series of tests that simulate the "true to life" abuses to which carts are subjected week after week. Otto's performance testing requirements were designed to simulate the effects of hard use in waste collection field conditions. The severity of some tests was scaled to anticipate an expected 10-year minimum life of the containers. Test Description 1. Loaded Cart Drop Test 2. Wheel Durability 3. Axle Strength Test 4. Bottom Wear (Abraision Resistance) 5. Wind Resistance 6. Loading & Unloading Performance Requirments Five (5) drops with 300 lbs. load from 12 ft. with no damage. 520 drops with no failure of wheels 800 Lbs. without permanent deformation of axle. 100 lbs. load dragged for 9,500 feet without wear -through or leakage. 40 mph for 30 seconds from any direction without blowing over. 520 complete cycles without any failures In addition, ANSI outlines the following test proceedures in the guidelines set down for refuse collection containers (Z245.30-1999): Slope Stability Test (Appendex B) Durability During Pulling (Appendex C) Loading & Unloading (Appendex D) Center of Balance (Appendex E) Force to Tip (Appendex F) Lid Test (Appendex G) Cart is stable on 5 degree slope See # 2 above. See # 6 above. Balance position achieved with handle positioned 29" (min) to 40" (max) from ground. Maximum force to tip of 120 lbs. Lid withstands 80 lbs. force. Cart Test Procedures The tests outlined in this document primarily focus on measurement of the container's ability to withstand the rigors of regular usage in a waste collection system. Additional consideration should be given to the testing described in ANSI Z245.30-1999. These ANSI tests focus to a greater extend on ease of use and safety issues. LOADED CART DROP TEST The subject cart is loaded with 300 pounds of sand or other static ballast. The carts are then lifted to a height of 12 feet and dropped onto a concrete surface . The test is repeated five (5) times. Carts are then carefully inspected for evidence of any failure. The Loaded Cart Drop Test simulates the stresses that carts must endure through years of lift cycles, especially in fully -automated applications. This test provides a very good indication of the overall strength and durability of the cart. 2. WHEEL DURABILITY The test cart is fitted with the subject wheels. The cart is loaded with 336 pounds of static ballast. The cart is then rolled off of a standard curb with a dead drop of at least 6 inches, onto a solid surface. The test is repeated a minimum of 520 times. Wheels are inspected for cracks, flat spots or any deformation. 3. AXLE STRENGTH TEST The subject axle is positioned for testing with support 1" from each end. Weights are added to apply downward force against the center of the axle. Additional weight is added until a permanent deflection in the axle is noted. The amount of force it takes to bend an axle is a measure of how well it will hold up when being rolled while fully loaded. In conjunction with the wheel durability test, the axle strength testing also indicates how well a cart will perform when dropped onto the wheels, being rolled up and down curbs or stairs, or is rolled over rough surfaces. Cart Test Procedures (Pape 2). 4. BOTTOM WEAR Carts are loaded with 100 pounds of water and dragged on a horizontal asphalt surface at a rate not to exceed 5 MPH. When water begins to leak, the test is discontinued and the distance is recorded. 5. WIND RESISTANCE An empty cart is placed in a wind test fixture. Wind velocity is increased to at least 40 MPH against the front, back, and either side. The point at which the cart tips over is noted. Wind on the street can come from not only inclement weather, but also from passing vehicles. This test shows not only how well a cart will stand up in the wind, but also indicates how easily it may be tipped over by dogs or other animals. 6. LOADING AND UNLOADING TEST The test cart is loaded with 336 pounds of static ballast and cycled at least 520 times, or until failure occurs. A cycle is defined as grab, squeeze, lift, dump, replace on ground, and release (re -load after each dump). The cart is visually inspected for cracks, any indication of stress failure, or any other indication of damage. This test is described in greater detail in the ANSI guidelines outlined in Z245.30-1999; Appendex D. The test simulates the approximate one pickup per week for a 10 year period. It is an important indicator of whether or not a cart will last through its intended life. PRODUCT SPECIFICATION MSD-95M "Millennium" Container The Otto Multi -System Design MSD-95M "Millennium" rollout container consists of injection -molded, high density polyethylene plastic body, hinged lid, two (2) hinge pins, two (2) plastic wheel assemblies, and a solid steel axle. The Otto MSD-95M rollout refuse container is compatible with fully automated arm lifter systems and standard, semi -automated bar lifter systems. This container complies with ANSI Z245.30-2008 and ANSI Z245.60-2008 standards for Container Safety and Compatibility Requirements. VOLUME CAPACITY: The total actual volume of the Otto MSD-95M container is 99.9 gallons (per ANSI Z245.30-1999, Appendix A, Volumetric Loading Capacity). Base: 95.8 gal Lid: 4.1 gal LOAD RATING: Per the ANSI Z245.30-2008 Standard, the Otto MSD-95M rollout refuse container is capable of accommodating a load of 335 lbs. WEIGHT: The completed assembly weight of the Otto MSD-95M container is 34.5lbs. when equipped with Otto's 10" injection molded wheels. Other wheel options are available. DIMENSIONS: Overall Height: 41.25" Loading Height: 39.25" Overall Width: 29.38" Overall Depth: 33.88" Minimum Grip Diameter: 28.2" CONTAINER BODY: The Otto MSD-95M Container Body is injection -molded from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). The container body has smooth surfaces both on the interior and exterior. The REV 06/21 PAGE 1 of 6 © OTTO ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS NORTH AMERICA, INC. PRODUCT SPECIFICATION interior is free of crevices and recesses where refuse could become trapped, in order to allow complete emptying. The wall thickness is up to 0.19". The high -density polyethylene has a density of 0.945 to 0.954 grams cm3. The Melt Index (MI) of the HDPE is 3.5 to 6.0. The top of the container body is reinforced with a rim around its entire perimeter. This feature adds structure and stability to the container and provides a flat surface for the lid to close on. The top of the rim has a rain lip to prevent water from entering the container with the lid closed. The handles are integrally molded into the container body at the top rim. The underside of the rim on the Otto MSD-95M is reinforced with a total of forty (40) integrally molded -in gussets spaced around the entire circumference of the container. The front of the container has a molded recess that provides for the front "catch," or lower lift bar. The MSD-95M container is offered with a 1" rotating steel catch bar. The clip -style metal lower lift bar is freely rotating, 1" OD (outside diameter) roll -formed steel with formed ends for added strength. The wall thickness of this bar is .050", hot rolled steel with an iron zinc clear chromate top coat shielding for corrosion protection. The clip -style metal catch bar allows for speedy installation of the bar from the outside of the container without requiring the use of any hand tools. Metal spring clips are compressed during installation and spring back once inside the container for a solid stop once installed. The bottom of the container has molded -in wear ridges that extend around its perimeter. The wear ridges provide additional protection against abrasive wear if the container is slid on asphalt or pavement and improve impact resistance of the bottom of the container. There is a recessed area molded above the middle of the axle which allows a person's foot to be placed directly upon the axle to allow the container to be easily tilted, even with a full load. The inside bottom of the container has a spherically shaped energy absorbing detail, approximately 8" in diameter, integrally molded into its floor. This detail has been engineered to protect the floor of an empty container from impact when being loaded with heavy objects. The Otto MSD-95M rollout container has an integrally molded front "pouch" to facilitate semi -automated lifting. This upper pouch is reinforced with a pattern of eight (8) internal ribs. These ribs add strength and structure to the lifting pouch and front of the container. Otto containers are designed for nesting and easy stacking for shipment and storage. Stacking ribs are molded onto the top rim to prevent containers from becoming wedged together during shipment. The weight of the container body is 24.1 lbs. This weight does not include any other components. PAGE 2 of 6 OTTO ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS NORTH AMERICA, INC. PRODUCT SPECIFICATION LID: The Otto MSD-95M container Lid is injection -molded from HDPE and is attached to the container body using two (2) HDPE snap -lock hinge pins. The lid rotates freely about the hinge a full 270 degrees. The lid, when closed, rests on the top rim of the container body, providing a secure tight fit around the entire perimeter between the lid and base. This prevents rain, insects and vermin from entering the container, as well as preventing the escape of most odors when the lid is closed. The lid is molded with a hand -hold lip that extends across the full width of the front of the cart and wraps around both corners. This allows the lid to be easily opened from three sides without contact with refuse or residue. The minimum material thickness in the lid is 0 .120". The weight of the lid is 4.1 lbs. HINGE PIN: The Otto MSD-95M lid Hinge Pins are injection -molded from HDPE. The hinge pins secure the lid to the integrally molded lid hinge and handle detail. Two (2) hinge pins are used to secure the lid. The hinge pins are installed at the factory using a rubber mallet. At installation, the truncated conical end of the hinge pin compresses and snaps into the pocket detail in the handle detail. This prevents vandalism and securely fastens the lid to the container base. The hinge pins can be removed with a special tool available from Otto. LID HINGE AND HANDLE DETAIL: The Otto MSD-95M Lid Hinge is integrally molded to the container body. The handle's diameter is 1.0" and provides 1.375" clearance for gloved hands. /_I:1111:9 The Otto MSD-95M machined solid steel Axle has a 27/32" diameter. The axle is zinc plated to protect against rust and corrosion. The large diameter of the axle allows the container prevents bending which can cause wheel rub and supports a fully loaded container. The axle will withstand a 375-lb. load without permanent deformation. The weight of the axle is 3.9 lbs. WHEELS: REV 0412 PAGE 3 of 6 OTTO ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS NORTH AMERICA, INC.

PAGE 6 of 6 © OTTO ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS NORTH AMERICA, INC. W, 95-gallon Millennium: Add to specification "The lower portion of the container body include front, rear and side wall portions, and additionally includes four beveled corner portions defining four vertical exterior faces which extend between the front and opposite side wall portions of the lower container body. The four vertical exterior faces are provided with an irregular and interrupted gripping surface for engagement by a fully automated lifting apparatus which clamps onto the lower portion of the container. The irregular and interrupted gripping surface can advantageously be provided by hemispherically shaped knobs extending from the four vertical beveled corner faces. The irregular gripping surface helps to prevent slippage of the gripping arms which engage the lower portion of the cart body." TESTING REPORT DATE: 26 July 2007 SUBJECT: Trash carts PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION: MSD-95M TEST: WIND TUNNEL TEST DESCRIPTION: This test is a measure of the stability of the cart in a high wind. Although not specifically tied to the basic purpose of the cart, most consumers would object to a cart that often tipped over and spilled the contents. MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD: The specification varies from site to site depending upon prevalent wind conditions, etc. Most manufacturers expect the cart to be stable up to at least 30 mph. TEST PROCEDURE: 1. A large wind tunnel with a 54 inch diameter exit opening is used for the test. The wind was supplied by a Gates Super HC drive. 2. Position the cart 48 inches from the end of the exit opening. (Beyond stagnant air zone.) 3. The bottom of the cart is to be level with the exit opening and is to rest on a concrete surface that has a surface texture similar to a roadway. 4. The bottom of the cart is placed against a 6 inch brace (like a curb) to prevent the cart from rolling or sliding. 5. The wind velocity is raised until the cart starts to move. This wind speed is measured using a certified volometer. 6. Measure the air velocity to tip the cart, either free-standing or against the curb if it has rolled or slid. 7. Test cart in three orientations toward the wind tunnel opening — front, side and back. 8. The procedure was performed using a blow -molded wheel and then repeated using an injection molded wheel with rubber tread. TEST RESULTS: Orientation Towards Wind Tunnel Test Front Side I Back Wind speed to 47 mph 56 mph 57 mph tip the cart SUMMARY: The cart was stable in moderate to high winds.

WEIGHT: The completed assembly weight of the Otto MSD-45E container is 22.2 lbs. when equipped with Otto's 8" blow molded wheels. Other wheel options are also available. DIMENSIONS: Overall Height: 39.2" Loading Height: 36.0" Overall Width: 22.6" Overall Depth: 27.4" Minimum Grip Diameter: 22.0" REV 05/20 © 0170 ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS NORTH AMERICA, INC. PAGE 1 of 6 • • CONTAINER BODY: PRODUCT SPECIFICATION The Otto MSD-45E Container Body is injection -molded from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). The container body has smooth surfaces both on the interior and exterior. The interior is free of crevices and recesses where refuse could become trapped, in order to allow complete emptying. The average wall thickness is 0.15" on the container sidewalls and 0.15" on the bottom section. The high -density polyethylene has a density of 0.945 to 0.954 grams cm3. The Melt Index (MI) of the HDPE is 3.5 to 6.0. The top of the container body is reinforced with a rim around its entire perimeter. This feature adds structure and stability to the Otto MSD-45E container and provides a flat surface for the lid to close on. The top of the rim has a rain lip to prevent water from entering the container with the lid closed. The handles are integrally molded into the container body at the top rim. The underside of the rim is reinforced with a total of twenty-eight (28) integrally molded -in gussets/ribs spaced around the entire circumference of the container. The front of the container has a molded recess that provides for the front "catch," or lower lift, bar. The Otto MSD-45E container is offered with either an integrally molded plastic front catch bar or a 1" rotating steel catch bar. Both the steel bar and plastic bar versions are nestable with this feature fully installed/integrated. The plastic lower catch bar is integrally molded into the container base in the front recess. Plastic bar containers have no openings into the container bodies. The clip -style metal catch bar is freely rotating, 1" OD (outside diameter) roll -formed steel with formed ends for added strength. The wall thickness of this bar is .050", hot rolled steel with an iron zinc clear chromate top coat shielding for corrosion protection. The clip -style metal catch bar allows for speedy installation of the bar from the outside of the container without requiring the use of any hand tools. Metal spring clips are compressed during installation and spring back once inside the container for a solid stop once installed. The bottom of the container has molded -in wear ridges that extend around its perimeter. The wear ridges provide additional protection against abrasive wear if the container is slid on asphalt or pavement and improve impact resistance of the bottom of the container. There is a recessed area molded above the middle of the axle which allows a person's foot to be placed directly upon the axle to allow the container to be easily tilted, even with a full load. The inside bottom of the container has a cylindrical -shaped energy absorbing detail, approximately 4.5" in diameter, integrally molded into its floor. This detail has been engineered to protect the floor of an empty container from impact when being loaded with heavy objects. The Otto MSD-45E rollout container has an integrally molded front "pouch" to facilitate semi -automated lifting. The front wall of the pouch has eleven (11) corrugations in order PAGE 2 of 6 © 0170 ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS NORTH AMERICA, INC. PRODUCT SPECIFICATION to support the lifting platform under maximum load lifting forces. This upper pouch is reinforced with a pattern of eight (8) internal ribs. These ribs add strength and structure to the lifting pouch and front of the container. Otto containers are designed for nesting and easy stacking for shipment and storage. Stacking ribs are molded onto the exterior of the top rim to prevent containers from becoming wedged together during shipment. The weight of the container body is approximately 16.6 lbs. This weight does not include any other components. LID: The Otto MSD-45E container Lid is injection- molded from HDPE and is attached to the container body using two HDPE snap -lock hinge pins. The lid rotates freely about the hinge a full 270 degrees. The lid, when closed, rests on the top rim of the container body, providing a secure, tight fit around the entire perimeter between the lid and base. This prevents rain, insects and vermin from entering the container, as well as preventing the escape of most odors when the lid is closed. The lid is molded with a hand -hold lip that extends across the full width of the front of the lid, and wraps around both corners. This allows the lid to be easily opened from three sides without contact with refuse or residue. The Otto MSD-45E lid attachments are cylindrical -shaped and double -ribbed, creating an extremely robust attachment to the container body. The locking mechanism for the lid hinge pin, which is inserted into the attachments, is retained beneath a molded -in step feature within the lid. The minimum material thickness in the lid is 0.12" The weight of the lid is approximately 2.7 lbs. HIKMF PIN - The Otto MSD-45E lid Hinge Pins are injection -molded from HDPE. The hinge pins secure the lid to the integrally molded lid hinge and handle detail. Two (2) hinge pins are used to secure the lid. The hinge pins are installed at the factory using a rubber mallet. At installation, the truncated conical center portion of the hinge pin compresses and snaps into the open slot in each side of the handle detail. This prevents vandalism and securely fastens the lid to the container base. The hinge pins can be removed with a special tool available from Otto. 01TO ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS NORTH AMERICA, INC. PRODUCT SPECIFICATION LID HINGE AND HANDLE DETAIL: The Otto MSD-45E Lid Hinge is integrally molded to the container body and lid. The handle diameter is 1.2" and provides 1.87" clearance for gloved hands. /_X:1111:9 The Otto MSD-45E machined solid steel Axle has a 3/4" diameter. The axle is zinc plated to protect against rust and corrosion. The large diameter of the axle allows the container to be easily rolled on any surface and supports a fully loaded container. The axle will withstand a 185-lb. load without permanent deformation. The weight of the axle is 3.5 lb. WHEELS: The Otto MSD-45E Wheels are slightly recessed into the container body and can be relocated to forward positioned hole setting, to allow for a fully assembled nestable cart. The overall diameter of the blow molded wheel is 8". The wheel assembly is tamper and theft -resistant and takes seconds to install on the axle. This is made possible with the use of a spring -loaded internal steel detent, which snaps into a locking groove in the axle. Yet, the wheel assembly can be easily removed with a special small hand tool available from Otto. The weight of each wheel is 0.89 lbs. MARKINGS: All Otto MSD-45E carts are hot stamped with a unique sequenced serial number to facilitate distribution and control. The customer's name or logo can be hot stamped on the container's body or lid. The containers are permanently marked with the month and year of production, mold number, material identification, patent number, model, and manufacture's insignia. WORKMANSHIP: The Otto MSD-45E plastic material — high -density polyethylene — is manufactured from virgin raw materials by major petrochemical companies, (e.g., Exxon, Chevron - Phillips, Quantum) and includes no recycled or regenerated plastic or foreign material. Up to 50% recycled material (PCR) content may be available upon request on particular colors, where suitable feedstock is available. PAGE h of 6 © 0170 ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS NORTH AMERICA, INC. El COLOR: PRODUCT SPECIFICATION Otto's standard colors are Dark Blue, Light Blue, Green, Forest Green, Dark Gray, Light Gray, Brown, and Black. Other colors are available to special order. All injection -molded parts are specifically prepared to be colorfast so that the plastic material does not alter appreciably in normal use. Due to the use of UV (ultraviolet) stable pigment and injection molding process, Otto containers have excellent color fastness. UV LIGHT STABILIZATION: The Otto MSD-45E container is stabilized against ultraviolet degradation with not less than 0.3% UV additives. This is a state-of-the-art package that meets or exceeds older systems requiring 0.5% UV additive by weight, and provides product viability for a minimum of 10 years of outdoor exposure. RECYCLABILITY: The Otto MSD-45E container is produced with a fully recyclable thermoplastic High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) resin. This allows the material to be recycled and reused after the useful life of the container. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEDURES AND PERFORMANCE TESTING: The Otto MSD-45E Container is designed to withstand the following series of performance tests. The performance test requirements were designed to simulate the type of situations encountered in actual use. The severity of some tests was scaled to anticipate an expected 10-year life.

MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD: ANSI standard Z245.30-2008 requires that after testing the cart should not suffer any damage or permanent deformation such that it cannot be safely used in normal operation. ANSI Z-245.60-2008 establishes dimensional requirements for the cart. TEST PROCEDURE (Meets the requirements of ANSI Z245.30-2008): 1. The test is conducted at room temperature. 2. A standard automated lifting mechanism is used. This lifter is compatible with all currently used carts. The lifting mechanism is attached to a stationary frame which allows the cart to be emptied and then reloaded on each cycle. 3. The cycle time is greater than eight seconds, as required in the standard. 4. The cart is loaded with inert material at 3.5 pounds per gallon according to the rated size of the container. The loading material is to occupy at least 70% of the volume of the cart. 5. The cart is positioned in front of the lifting mechanism and is then engaged by the lifter and lifted to empty the cart into a bin. The cart is set down onto aconcrete surface and is held stationary as it is reloaded by tipping the bin to allow the weights to re-enter the cart. 6. Inspections are made whenever any change is noticed and after every 100lifts. 7. Failure isjudged to be cracks, holes or other induced defects or deformations in the cart that would prevent the cart's use as a trash cart and be emptied by the automated method. TEST RESULTS: Cvcles Comments on Performance No 520 significant damage SUMMARY: The cart passed the ANSI Z245.30-2008 and Z245.60-2008 standards for minimum performance.

This height affects the ease of operation of the cart. MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD: According to the ANSI standard Z245.30, when in the center -of - balance position, the minimum height is to be 29 inches. The maximum height is to be 40 inches when in the center -of -balance position. ANSI Z245.60 establishes dimensional requirements forthe cart. TEST PROCEDURE (Meets the requirements of ANSI Z245.30): 1. The cart is loaded with a standard load (3.5 pounds per gallon of rated capacity with the load occupying at least 70% of the capacity) or with the maximum rated load. 2. The test to be conducted on a hard, flat surface. 3. Block the wheels so that the cart will not roll. 4. Tip the cart slowly, rotating the cart on the wheels, to the center balance position. This position is determined as the position where the cart has a tendency to remain in a balanced (neutral) position, not tipping forward or backward. 5. When in the center balance position, place blocks under the container to maintain in balanced position. 6. Measure the distance vertically from the ground plane to the center line of the handle of the cart. The accuracy of measurement is to be t0.25 inches. 7. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 and then average the results for the three determinations.

This force relates to the ease of operation of the cart. MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD: According to ANSI Z245.30, the force must not exceed 120pounds force. ANSI Z-245.60 establishes dimensional requirements for the cart. TEST PROCEDURE (Meets the requirements of ANSI Z245.30): I . The cart is to be loaded with a standard load. (3.5 pounds of material per gallon of rated capacity. (The load to occupy at least 70%of the capacity of the cart.) 2. The ground to be level and with a smooth horizontal surface having less than a lE slope. 3. The cart is to be blocked to prevent movement of the wheels. 4. A spring scale or other force -measuring device is attached to the handle of the cart. (The force - measuring device to have an accuracy of less than f3%.) The cart is then tipped by pulling on the force - measuring device, until the cart is in the balanced position. The angle of pull, that is, the tipping force direction, is to be horizontal with less than f2E to all sides. (The position where the cart does not tend to move either forward or backward but remains in a balanced position.) The maximum force during the pull is noted. 5. Repeat step 4 so that three determinations are made. These results are averaged. 6. The test is to be conducted at room temperature. TEST RESULTS: The tipping forces were as follows: Average = 23.8 pounds. SUMMARY: The cart passed the ANSI Z245.30 and Z245.60 standards at or above the minimum requirements. 1ttltttrt7 S' r +A lame A. arfield, bab Structural Engineering Services, PLLC ��`•�`�� CARp�� CQ FOSS/pY!V9 `4 SEAL 03579B = "vkF IAI IB P Structural Engineering Services, PLLC 3017Clark Street Charlotte NC Phone: 704.507.4014 E-mail: bbarfield@babstruct.com TESTING REPORT DATE: 15 July 2015 SUBJECT: Trash carts PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION: MSD-45E TEST: VOLUMETRIC LOADING CAPACITY TEST DESCRIPTION: To determine the volume of a container MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD: The volumetric loading capacity of the container should be measured according to ANSI Z245.30-2008.
