a)         Garbage and refuse on the premises shall be stored in a manner inaccessible to insects and rodents.  When stored outside, plastic bags or high wet strength paper bags or bale units containing garbage and refuse must be stored in a manner inaccessible to insects and rodents.  Cardboard or other packing material not containing garbage or food waste need not be stored in covered containers.

b)         Garbage or refuse storage rooms, if used, shall be constructed of easily cleanable, non-absorbent, washable materials, shall be kept clean, shall be insect and rodent proof, and shall be large enough to store the garbage and refuse containers that accumulate.

c)         Outside storage areas or enclosures shall be large enough to store the garbage and refuse containers that accumulate and shall be kept clean.  Garbage and refuse containers and compactor systems located outside shall be stored on or above a smooth surface of non-absorbent material, such as concrete or machine-laid asphalt, that is kept clean, graded to prevent accumulation of liquid waste, and maintained in good repair.
