A warped, damaged, or poorly fitted lid can allow flies easy access.
Do Not Overfill the Bin When garbage rises above the rim, the lid may remain partially open.
Even a small opening can make it easier for flies to reach food waste.
Keeping the container within its intended capacity helps the lid close properly.
Clean the Rim and Lid People often clean the bottom of a bin but ignore the lid.
Food can touch the lid when a bag is overfilled, while spills can collect around handles and hinges.
These areas should be cleaned whenever visible residue develops.
