Every food business produces waste and stores it temporarily for disposal. Waste must not be allowed to accumulate in working areas or the surrounding environment because:
- food waste (i.e. food scraps, grease) that is not kept in sealed containers can attract and provide food for pests and vermin;
- other waste (i.e. packaging) that is allowed to build-up provides harbourage for pests and vermin to live in or under; and
- waste material is a potential source of food contamination
