Cleaning and disposal of waste

Cleaning and disposal of waste

To be effective, cleaning must be planned. In camp, this would be dealt with by normal good housekeeping. Ensure that food debris is not left on tables, cookers or on the floor. Always clean tables before and after use. Take all unused foods back to the store tent and store correctly and safely. All refuse containers must be emptied and cleaned regularly. In particular, all refuse and waste food material must be removed from inside any preparation area at the end of each meal. This is most important at camp to deter birds and other pests.
