In food preparation/service areas:
- Kitchen rubbish bins are not required to have lids. Lids can cause cross-contamination if a food handler touches the dirty lid and then food.
- Kitchen rubbish bins must be emptied regularly, that is, after each meal service or more often if full.
- Wash out each kitchen bin with hot soapy water if required, and line it with a plastic bin liner.
Always wash your hands after touching, emptying or washing out a bin.
