Why this resource matters
Routine housekeeping works best when the check is simple enough to repeat. This tool focuses on the five conditions that are easy to see and act on: lids, ground condition, drainage, capacity and damage reporting.
Key points
- Lid: closed and working.
- Ground: no loose trash, active leaks or obvious wet staining.
- Drain: nothing being swept, washed or flowing toward a storm drain.
- Capacity: the container is not overflowing and the lids can close.
- Report: damaged lids, holes, failed seams and leaks are reported promptly.
