Waste containers must be covered at the end of each day and during rain events.

Before rain starts At the end of each day and during rain events Only during heavy rain Never

Correct Answer:

Before rain starts

Explanation:

Protecting stormwater quality means keeping waste from being exposed to rain and wind. Waste containers should be covered at the end of each day to prevent overnight leaks and wind-blown litter, and they must also be covered during any rain events so that rainwater can’t become contaminated by contact with the waste. Covering only before rain starts risks exposure if rain begins unexpectedly or continues after a brief shower, and covering only during heavy rain misses more common, lighter rain that can still cause runoff. Therefore, the practice is to cover waste containers at the end of each day and during rain events.
