If it's the type that you back your truck into and dump the trash over a rail into a large metal dumpster or compactor which pushes the debris into a container, they are usually classified as Type U occupancies. The buildings in our are not heated and run 12 months of the year. They are not fitted with sprinklers but have a hydrant located typically within 50ft or so of the building. They are of non-combustible construction. There are portable fire extinguishers located inside and outside of the building. They accept no liquids for disposal.
