All trash and other waste material shall be
removed from machine locations as frequently as may be necessary to
prevent nuisances and unsightliness and shall be disposed of in a
manner approved by the health authority.
Self-closing, leakproof, readily cleanable,
plainly labeled and designated waste container or containers shall
be provided in the vicinity of each machine or machines to receive
used cups, cartons, wrappers, straws, closures and other single-service
items. Such waste containers shall not be located within the vending
machine, provided that an exception shall be made for those machines
dispensing only packaged products with crown closures, in which case
the closure receptacle may be located within the machine. Suitable
racks or cases shall be provided for multiuse containers or bottles.
Containers shall be provided within all machines
dispensing liquid products in bulk for the collection of drip, spillage,
overflow or other liquid wastes. An automatic shutoff device shall
be provided which will place the vending machine out of operation
before such container overflows. Containers or surfaces on which such
wastes may accumulate shall be readily removable for cleaning, shall
be easily cleanable and shall be corrosion-resistant. If liquid wastes
from drip, spillage or overflow which originate within the machine
are discharged into a sewerage system, the connection to the sewer
shall be through an air gap.
