Refuse

Waste stored in the kitchen must be in a clean bin with a close fitting lid, preferably foot operated. Outdoor refuse storage areas must be kept clean and tidy to prevent any pest problems.

It is a legal requirement that all businesses have a waste contract in place for removal of their business waste. It should not be combined with your domestic rubbish.
