Garbage cans should be frequently
washed out with boiling water TO
prevent them from becoming foul.
AS moisture is the immediate cause
of garbage souring, the drier the
can is kept the longer the garbage
can stand without becoming a
nuisance. All garbage should be
drained before it is emptied into the
can.
