Question

1. a food handler who is throwing out garbage in an outdoor dumpster must

secure the garbage bag before throwing it in.
leave the lid open for easy access.
close the dumpster lid after throwing away the garbage.
make sure the garbage bag falls below the rim of the dumpster.

Explanation:

• Securing the garbage bag is a good practice but not the most crucial requirement here.
• Leaving the lid open can attract pests and is unhygienic.
• Closing the dumpster lid after throwing away the garbage helps prevent pests (such as rodents, insects) from accessing the garbage, keeps odors contained, and maintains a more sanitary environment.
• While having the garbage bag below the rim is a detail, closing the lid is a more important overall requirement for sanitation and pest control.

Answer:

close the dumpster lid after throwing away the garbage.
