These types of organizations must meet two tests under IRS rules to be given a 509(a)(2) classification. See page 35 of the IRS Non-profit categories attachment (72-page PDF) for a discussion of this type of non-profit. Churches, Educational Organizations (schools or colleges), hospitals, and governments are defined as 509(a)(1) organizations and are not exempt from refuse dumpster fees.
