What does Florida violation V38 (Waste properly disposed) mean?

PEST ATTRACTION: Improper waste disposal attracts rats, mice, cockroaches, and flies — all disease vectors. Overflowing garbage creates direct food contamination risk. Waste containers without lids allow pests to feed and breed. Grease disposal violations create breeding grounds for flies that carry 100+ pathogens. Improper recycling can create harborage conditions. Dispose of all waste properly: use leak-proof, pest-proof containers with tight-fitting lids. Empty frequently to prevent overflow. Clean containers and surrounding areas regularly. Maintain dumpster area — clean up spills, keep lids closed. Separate recyclables. Dispose of grease through approved hauler. Store waste away from food preparation areas.
