What should food workers do to prevent pests from finding food in garbage cans?

Food workers should take several steps to prevent pests from finding food in garbage cans:

1. Use Tight-Fitting Lids: Ensure that all garbage cans have tight-fitting lids to prevent pests from accessing the contents.

2. Regular Disposal: Empty garbage cans frequently to minimize the amount of food waste available to pests.

3. Clean Cans Regularly: Clean the inside and outside of garbage cans regularly to remove food residues and odors that attract pests.

4. Proper Bagging: Use strong, leak-proof garbage bags and ensure they are sealed properly before placing them in the garbage cans.

5. Location: Place garbage cans away from food preparation and storage areas to reduce the risk of pests transferring to food.

6. Pest Control Measures: Implement regular pest control measures and inspections to detect and eliminate any pest activity promptly.

By following these practices, food workers can significantly reduce the likelihood of pests being attracted to garbage cans.
