Section 12:68:09:08 - Requirements for collecting stations

A collecting station must include a building or buildings provided with concrete floors with good drainage and constructed to be maintained in a sanitary condition. There must be provision to prevent entrance to the building of rodents or other animals. All windows, doors, and other openings must be screened unless a program for insect extermination is followed in the buildings and on the premises where the buildings are located.

Provision must be made for washing and disinfection of trucks at the time carcasses are unloaded at collecting stations.

Floors and walls of the collecting station must be thoroughly flushed or scrubbed with live steam or boiling water immediately upon removal of all carcasses and at least once daily while the collecting station is in operation. All floor washings and other liquid waste or accumulation of water must be disposed of through disposal facilities.

Carcasses unloaded at collecting stations must be unloaded within enclosures or buildings provided for that purpose. No carcass may remain in the collecting station for longer than 24 hours before reloading into another licensed truck operated by the same establishment for transportation directly to the plant.
