Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper storage of garbage in its outside dumpster, as observed during a survey. The dumpster lid was found partially propped open by garbage bags, preventing it from fully closing. This observation was confirmed by the Maintenance Supervisor, who acknowledged that the lid should remain closed at all times. Facility policy requires daily inspection of garbage cans to ensure no debris is present around the area and that lids are closed, in accordance with the FDA Food Code, which mandates tight-fitting lids to prevent pest and rodent entry.
