- Kept away from doors and windows to avoid attracting flies and other pests.
- Regularly cleaned and disinfected, including the areas around them.
- Foot pedal operated to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

- Easy to clean and disinfect.
- Pest proof.
- Located away from food delivery and food handling areas.
