1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, receptacles and waste handling units for refuse, recyclables and returnables, and for use with materials containing food residue, must be durable, cleanable, insect and rodent resistant, leak proof and nonabsorbent.
 
2. Plastic bags and wet-strength paper bags may be used to line receptacles for storage inside the food establishment or within closed outside receptacles.
 
3. Receptacles and waste handling units for refuse, recyclables and returnables, including, without limitation, an on-site compactor, must be installed so that the accumulation of debris and insect and rodent attraction and harborage are minimized and effective cleaning is facilitated around and, if the unit is not installed flush with the base pad, under the receptacle or unit.
