Food waste must be disposed of correctly to:
A
Help increase profits
B
Prevent fire hazards
C
Prevent contamination
D
Reduce cleaning costs
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Use a licensed waste disposal contractor. This ensures the waste is collected and transported in a manner that keeps it contained and prevents it being exposed to animals. The waste is then disposed of in a licensed landfill site.

Detailed explanation-2: -Poor management of food waste causes the loss of natural resources, human health issues, pollution of rivers and seas, the generation of methane emissions from dumps and landfills, and a missed opportunity to recover valuable energy, organic matter, nutrients and water contained in food waste.

Detailed explanation-3: -Minimise contact, i.e. handle materials as little as possible and transfer them via routes that minimise exposure to others. Discard materials into a suitable container or bag. It must conform to the required standards (e.g. UN approved). Use bags that are marked or coloured for infectious waste.

Detailed explanation-4: -Be aware of how much food you throw away. Don’t buy more food than can be used before it spoils. Plan meals and use shopping lists. Avoid impulse and bulk purchases, especially produce and dairy that have a limited shelf life. When eating out, become a more mindful eater. More items •17-Feb-2022
