Summary
The facility failed to properly contain garbage and refuse as required by its own policy, which states that all garbage and refuse must be collected and disposed of in a safe and efficient manner, with the Dining Services Director coordinating with the Director of Maintenance to maintain the exterior dumpster area. During an observation, it was found that one of the two dumpsters outside did not have a dumpster plug in place and secured. This was confirmed in an interview with the Dietary Manager, who acknowledged that the plug was missing and that a plug should be in place.
