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

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

(b) clean all solid waste containers with sufficient frequency to maintain them in a condition which minimizes pest attraction;

(c) 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;

(i) 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;

(d) transport, or utilize a private or municipal hauler to transport, the solid waste at least weekly to a landfill site approved by the Department of Environmental Quality in a covered vehicle or covered containers.

(2) Solid waste includes recycling material.
