Here is a checklist for an appropriate designated accumulation area:
✔ Denies access to unauthorized people
✔ Has clear warnings signs on the exterior
✔ Secured using locks, entry doors, gates or receptacle lids
✔ Warning sign should be easy to read during daylight from at least 25 feet away
✔ Area should provide protection from animals natural elements
✔ Warning sign is clear in English and in Spanish reading:
“CAUTION—BIOHAZARDOUS WASTE STORAGE AREA—UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS KEEP OUT”
