Waste storage areas are    The waste storage area is
designed to contain and    constructed of impermeable and
appropriately dispose of   durable surfaces and:
leakage from bins and
wastewater from bin         a) is bunded and graded so that
washing.                       washwater and bin leakage are
                               drained to the sewer or an
                               on-site effluent disposal system
                               via a gully within the storage
                               area;
                            b) has a bund wall with a
                               maximum height of 100
                               millimetres;
                            c) is serviced by a conveniently
                               located hosecock and backflow
                               prevention device, and
                               connected to a water supply;

                                    pollution if washed or
