37.111.834    SOLID WASTE

In order to ensure that solid waste is safely stored and disposed of, a school must:

(1) store all solid waste between collections in containers which have lids, are corrosion-resistant, and are constructed to minimize insect and rodent attraction and harborage;

(2) clean all solid waste containers with sufficient frequency to maintain them in a condition which minimizes insect and rodent attraction;

(3) for exterior containers other than dumpsters or compactors, utilize stands which prevent the containers from being tipped, protect them from deterioration, and allow easy cleaning below and around them;

(a) dumpsters or compactors must be located on or above a smooth surface of non-absorbent material, such as concrete or asphalt, that is maintained in clean and good condition;

(4) transport, or utilize a private or municipal hauler to transport, the solid waste at least weekly to a landfill site approved by the department in a covered vehicle or covered containers.
