Rule 32.9.414 - DAIRY WASTE DISPOSAL

(1) Dairy wastes must be properly disposed of from the plant and premises. The sewer system shall have sufficient slope and capacity to readily remove all waste from the various processing operations. Where a public sewer is not available, all wastes must be properly disposed of so as not to contaminate milk equipment or to create a nuisance or public-health hazard. Containers used for the collection and holding of wastes must be constructed of metal, plastic or other equally impervious material and kept covered with tight-fitting lids and placed outside the plant on a concrete slab or on a rack raised at least 12 inches. Alternatively, waste containers may be kept inside a suitably enclosed, clean and fly-proof room. Solid wastes must be disposed of regularly and the containers cleaned before reuse. Accumulation of dry waste paper and cardboard must be kept to a minimum. The paper must be burned at the plant in a properly constructed incinerator or compressed or bagged and hauled away.
