    Good morning AICALIST members,
    Can anyone provide any information relating to waste management, specifically regarding food waste and linen waste and its storage? The Rehab Units caters for occupancy of 42. Architects have included space in the Dirty Utility Room to hold 470L general waste bins for food waste/ general waste and 1 or 2 linen trolleys for soiled linen. This room looks to be located behind the patients lounge/ dinning area at the end of one of the pods. Contamination issue is remote however odour and volume generated over a weekend/ public holiday period is great. I can’t find any guidelines supporting managing of waste and soiled linen in a housed area away/ external to main building. I would appreciate input from members. Jen
